Is there a way to get more than three exposures, per bracket settings?

I shoot Canon 5DMK2. I use C1 & C 2 with timer for my bracket exposures. This way I can get 5 pictures by switching to C2 for the second set.

Yes & No. My Canon 60D is setup for three bracket settings but I can SHIFT those setting + or - with the Backwheel. I take the first three shots then SHIFT for another three to the - side and SHIFT over to the + side for the last. that would give me nine shot.

Not what you wanted to hear I am sure but thats Canon for you.

You can set the camera in AV mode and look at what the camera comes up with and then switch to manual mode. Then the only thing you need to adjust is the wheel that controls the shutter. Each stop is either a halving or doubling of the previous one. Let's say you start with 1/200th as the proper exposure. 1/25th is 3 stops down. Start there and then double the exposure time for each shutter click.

Don't know with Canon. My camera allows 3, 5, 7, & 9. The last two may seem like overkill-- but there are times that I've selected 3 for processing of the 7 or 9-- but not the -2, 0, & +2.
