Funnily enough, I just got an email from Canon, which is pretty much a waste of my time.
Thank you for your email. There are different ways of doing this, but if you want to be very precise, then I would simple do manual bracketing and put them together in post. With AEB the camera will always decide on the changing factor by metering the scene so the actual exposures can be different slightly. I wouldn`t recommend AEB when precise high-end result is required.
So my suggestion is to take your first photo on x settings, then drop the shutter speed or ISO for the next shot and up the shutter speed or ISO for the next one. I am afraid this is the only way where you can get entirely constant exposure across all panoramic angles with the same depth of field and exposure. I usually take 3 shots in each angle: normal exposure, 2 stops up, 2 stops down and then I put them together in Photoshop by simple putting them on top of each other and paint the new with layers accordingly to my needs.
I would also use a remote control or connect the camera to your phone so it doesn’t affect your camera angle and avoid any shake. In my honest opinion, sometimes you simply need to refer to the basic ways when you do it at professional level as those methods are faultless.
Canon ... teaching you how to suck eggs since 1937. Really, Canon? Is this the best response you can come up with to a genuine product fault?
