Hello, this is Mark from the Photomatix team.
Today I'm going to show you how to set up automatic exposure bracketing on a Canon EOS RP.
This will let you take three or more photographs,
each at a different exposure, when you press the shutter button.
Switch the camera on, ...
... and locate the mode dial.
Turn the Mode dial so that M, for Manual, lines up with the white marker.
On the rear left of the camera you'll find the MENU button.
Press it,... and the main menu appears on screen.
On the right is the Info button, which moves between menu tabs.
Press it three times to get to the Custom Functions tab.
Below the Info button is the multi-controller which is used to navigate through the menu...
It has a Q/Set button at the centre, and four direction buttons.
Press the Q/Set button while on the first item to enter the Exposure page.
Press the right arrow key four times.
This will get you to the fifth page, 'Number of bracketed shots'.
Press the Set button again to enter its settings list.
The default on this camera is three shots.
You can choose another value by pressing the down section of the multicontroller:...
for instance...
five shots...
or,... seven shots.
Let's keep it at three shots.
Press the SET button to save,... or leave the settings list,...
and the Menu button twice to exit the menu.
You are now ready to activate Automatic Exposure Bracketing...
To do that,... press the Menu button.
Press the info button twice to go back to the first tab, 'Shooting'.
Now that you are back on the first tab, use the right arrow key to navigate to the 3rd page ...
... and press 'Set' to enter the first item Exposure Compensation / AEB:
Here you can set how many Exposure Value Steps will separate your bracketed shots.
We're going to select a spacing of two EV.
A step of two EV is a good choice for HDR scenes.
Locate the Main Dial on the top right of the camera ...
... and roll it six places to the right.
As you roll, you'll see the EV spaces open up ...
... and six rolls to the right will give you a two EV spacing.
Press the SET button so save ...
... and the menu button to exit the menu.
There is one last thing to do before you are ready to shoot:
Setting Continuous shooting mode so that you take all bracketed shots by just keeping your finger on the shutter button.
Press the Q/Set button to get to the Quick Control menu.
Now press the down direction key twice to access Drive Mode.
And the right-hand direction key once, to highlight High speed continuous.
Press the SET button to save your choice and exit.
All you need to do now is to keep the camera still ...
press and hold down the shutter button, until all the photos are taken.
Once you've taken the bracketed photos,
you can merge them to HDR in Photomatix.
