Pentax FluCard

HDRJohn · 11-29-2015, 03:05 AM

Hi
Does anyone have experience of using the Pentax FluCard to wirelessly control a Pentax K-3?
I'd really like to know if it can be used to trigger a K-3 set to autobracket.
I want to be able to trigger autobracket sequences and then alter the shutter speed and trigger a further sequence to cope with extreme contrast ranges for HDR work.
Thanks in anticipation of community help, John.

You are limited to the single shot drive mode, unfortunately.

Thank you Adam. That's not the news I wanted. However, it means I won't waste my money... Many thanks

You can manually bracket, John.
