Hi all, 

I have only recently started using my Sony A7R2 full frame camera with a pano head with PT Gui and running into the issue that the HDR shot order seems to be a  bit mixed up, and PT Gui dosen't seem to recognise the inconsistant order. I've had a look in the camera menu but can't seem to find any menu that can fix this. 

Just to clarify I've tried a simple horizontal rotation using a 16mm lens at 45 degree inciments - but can't work out how to fix these irregular shots: 

Shot 1: 0 EV
Shot 2: -3 EV
Shot 3: +3 EV
Shot 4: -3 EV
Shot 5: 0 EV
Shot 6: +3 EV
Shot 7: +3 EV
Shot 8: -3 EV
Shot 9: 0 EV
Shot 10: 0 EV
Shot 11: -3 EV
Shot 12: +3 EV
etc. 

Does anyone else shoot on the Sony A7 series and know of a fix to getting the order of these HDR images to be consistant so PTGui will be able to recognise them as HDR? 

Or is there something else I'm not doing (within PTGui)? 

Many thanks in advance! 

Joe

Hi Josef,

You could rearrange the order of the source images: in the Source Images
tab, grab the row header (left of the thumbnail image) and move it up or
down.

Or you can always manually link the images: select a group of images,
right click, 'Link Selected Images'. This is equivalent to PTGui's
automatic image linking method.

Kind regards,

Hi Joost, 


Thanks very much for the prompt reply! 

I tried re-ordering the images to be in the same order but that didn't work. 

I tried using the "link selected images" which seems to work - thanks!

1st menu page -> last row "Bracket settings". Change it to - 0 +
