When shooting tethered with EOS Utility sofware, are we limited to 3 exposures when shooting HDR?

I can't seem to figure it out, but if there's a way to squeeze 5 exposures out when shooting HDR imagery while tethered to EOS Utility it would be great. I can't find a way to get more than 3 exposures.

Auto Exposure Bracketing is controlled on camera; not EOSU. Some cameras allow more than three and some don't. Which camera do you have?

Hi John,

I'm shooting with a 5D Mark 3. I have the bracket exposures set to 5 in the camera at one stop increments.

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I don't know then. I never saw a setting in EOSU for bracketed shooting.

Yeah, I know, weird, eh? Thanks for trying though. Hope you have a great day.

Take care,

Frank

Don't forget. You can always take the exposures yourself, and later perform the HDR merge in post-processing.

Just occurred to me- if you are using the camera built-in function I think that is what is controlling/limiting the exposures to three. Programmed into camera.
