K-01 exposure bracketing with remote?

schweinstein · 02-13-2013, 10:13 AM

I used to use exposure bracketing on my K-X and would use the wireless remote to trigger this. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the K-01. Is it not possible or is it that I am just a newbie and overlooking how to do it?

Thanks!

You hit the right cursor button, the one with the stopwatch on it, and then select the bracketing there. The K-5 cameras have more options regarding bracketing, though.

Right, I've gotten bracketing to work, and I've gotten the remote to work, it's just the combination of the two that I haven't been able to do the two together.. and I like to be able to keep the camera as still as possible with the remote for bracketing as I use it for mild external HDR.

Ah. I don't have a remote, so I don't know. But I think if you have your camera on a tripod and you just slowly push the shutter button and hold it, you won't move the camera much.

I do not think the K-01 has that option (bracketing with remote, which is slilly, caus eit is actually how I bracket on my K-7 always). Have had the same problem.

That's sort of disappointing. :/ I liked that feature and just sort of expected it to be there - or rather wouldn't expect it to not be there for any reason.

If its any consolation, my K-r is also missing this feature. Which is too bad, now that I think of it, its probably something that wouldn't be too hard to add.

No that just makes me feel bad for you.

I'm still happy with the K-01 though. I know it's mostly viewed as a failure but seeing that I was able to buy it new for the price of a high end point and shoot camera it pleases me.
