Focus Lock With Shutter - Dynamic Perception MX3 User Manual

signal to make the mirror go up and another to trigger the exposure.
NOTE: HDR with Auto AEB + multi-frame drive mode
When doing bracketed exposures with Auto AEB (and multi frame drive mode) set on the
camera, the Repeat Shots function is not used, instead the Exposure Time and Exposure Delay
settings are used to control this cycle. Add up the total time it takes to cycle through the AEB
shot sequence and set the Exposure Time to match on the MX3. The Exposure Delay time
must provide enough time for the camera's buffer to clear (will vary depending on camera model
and memory card speed). With this method the AEB shot sequence will be executed as fast as
is possible particularly when high speed multi frame drive modes are selected on the camera.
To enable repeated exposures, enter the Main System Menu and then select the Camera
sub-menu. Within the Camera sub-menu, find the Repeat Shots parameter and set the value to
any number greater than zero. The number you specify will be how many times after the first
shot the shot sequence will be repeated.

Camera menu:
