For the Best Possible Results we would strongly recommend the use of Auto Exposure Bracketing combined with our HDR software. This will take 3 images automatically for each scene in different exposures using the AEB facility on your camera. The HDR software will then automatically merge these 3 images into one final image with the best possible dynamic range.
Here's a clickable link sample to show you the difference that can be achieved by using the HDR Software.
You will never have to worry about what exposure you should use when taking the photo's and are guaranteed the best results !
