Originally posted by f22 Absolutely using this. I set my U4 for this and the U5 for Motion bracketing (3 consecutive exposures at different speeds). For the Aperture Bracketing I chose 0.7 EV and did some experiment shots. I think that works well for outdoor shots. I would probably recommend 0.3 for flash or lower lit scenes.
This is a very handy feature especially for portraiture, and landscape. If you set your scene exposure to the Av you want and then take the other 2 at smaller f stops (smaller DoF) I can later choose in PP which shot gives me the best result. It also is nice for macro work with a tele lens (or my 18-135 set to 135mm).
The Motion Bracketing is handy for action photography. I set these to be in order of speed -fastest, faster, fast so that I don't wind up with my subject exiting the focus. I also suggest using AF.C if your subject is moving toward or away from you, with this. I usually get at least 2 of the 3 compositions centered with the subject. It's good for controlling how much blur you want, or if you're panning, how much your background blurs.
Interesting, good to see someone using this in a way I have not thought about. It's set up as default to being intended for 'Macro' work, I never really considered how useful it might be for Portrait shots etc. I regularly try to shoot some ridiculously wide shots (f1.4-1.6 etc), and sometimes I get lucky and the eye I want is sharp, other times I miss it. How useful it might be to get a 'safer' guaranteed shot from the moment if I fail to hit my mark with the wide shot.
I shall also consider the Motion Bracketing for action shots also.
Thanks for the feedback!
