Hi,

Page 136 of the manual tells you how to set auto exposure bracketing. This takes 3 images in quick succession at 3 different exposure values standard-under-over.

First make an assessment of the exposure range in the scene. Use the camera exposure meter, set to Tv, and see the highest and lowest f/number in the viewfinder. This will give you an idea of how many stops you need to cover to get the data for an HDR image. The camera you can assume records 5 stops, so by knowing the maximum range in the scene, you will know if you need to allow 1 or 2 stops of plus and minus exposure. If this all seams too much, then take a series of shots with 1, and 2 stops exposure adjustment.

You will need a good, firm tripod, after getting auto-focus, set the focus to manual as you do not want the camera to hunt for focus between shots, and at least 2 seconds shutter timer delay to minimise camera shake - see Page 75. Set the mode to manual - M - Page 104.

In PS use the merge to HDR option either from Bridge, or direct from PS - if you have PS Elements, someone else has advised the keystrokes.

Add levels or curves to fix the contrast and finally sharpen. Crop as required.
