First AEB shots

nilanjan118 · Apr 14, 2019

I tried the AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) mode in Spark for the first time yesterday and was pretty amazed with the results. Sharing a couple of images below.
Note: I used a software called HDRsoft Photomatix to merge the bracketed images.

Nice! The only problem I have is that the AEB function uses a 1-stop difference. Should be able to select more.

Oh is it? I was about to ask the same. Didn't find any option to select exposure differential while shooting in AEB mode like it is available in DSLRs.

The one stop difference doesn't help too much. I find I can get (almost) the same results by just tweaking the image in Lightroom. If necessary, I do a manual bracketing whereby I change the shutter speed up and down in larger steps. Results vary however, it seems the compression done to produce the jpg-images is difficult to handle for the HDR software.

it is more like 0.7 -/+ for the Spark - told to me in the DJI Photo Academy.
You don't break into true HRD until Mavic Air with 5 photo AEB and an auto HDR feature.

That's what I do with my DSLR as I am never satisfied with the auto HDR image it creates. Yet to try it with the Spark though. Thanks for sharing your experience.
