Canon 7D Does anyone know how to increase the number of shots taken with AEB from default 3 shots?

I don't believe you can increase AEB to more then 3 shots with the 7D.
The 1D MK IV has 5 or 7 shots possible via a custom setting that is not available on the 7D.
Are you looking to use this for HDR?

I don't use AEB if I want more exposures. I use my meter and manually adjust the exposure in the incriment that I chose. -3,-2,-1 0,+1,+2,+3

You can take 3 AEB shots, for example at plus or minus 1 stop, then change to plus or minus 2 stops. Then throw away one of the neutral shots. This will leave you with 5 exposures, -2, -1, 0 , +1, +2. That is usually all you would ever need for HDR.
Of course this assumes you are shooting on a tripod. I have used this technique with success many times.
If you want to purchase an expensive intravalometer, you can also change the number of AEB.

Good idea with the setting adjustment though I still hate to touch the camera for any adjustments. I always use a tripod with HDR and weight the tripod to make it even steadier.

If you could increase # of bracket shots, what would increase it to? under, over, 0 and what? It is impossible to change number of stops under, over automatically.
Why would you want to?

what in H... is an intravalometer?

pdwoodsworth,
Here is the Wikipedia description of an intravalometer:
In photography, intervalometers are used to trigger exposures. This is often done for a time-lapse series. It may also be used to take, or begin taking, picture(s) after a set delay.
Examples of intervalometer use in aerial photography include delaying the start of picture taking by an unattended camera until some time after takeoff and separating multiple exposures in time, and thus distance as the vehicle containing the camera travels, to obtain the 3D effect (stereoscopy). To obtain the 3D effect each image should have about 60% of the surface in common with either the preceding or following image. The interval is calculated as a function of the altitude and speed of the vehicle; shorter intervals for low altitude and high speed.
Often the purpose of a photographic intervalometer is to reduce the resources required either to take the pictures or post-process them as similar images could be obtained by having the camera continuously take pictures as rapidly as possible. Using an intervalometer permits restricting the pictures taken to only those with the desired content. This reduces the requirements for resources such as power and storage media (e.g. film or memory card space).
Most modern cameras include the most basic intervalometer functionality, the "self-timer". This delays the shutter release for a short time, allowing the photographer to get into the picture, for example.
In the past, intervalometers were external devices which interfaced to a camera to trigger taking a picture, or series of pictures, at a set time. These sometimes used existing remote shutter features on existing cameras. Later, products commonly referred to as intervalometers have added capabilities far beyond the basics of just measuring, and signaling, a time interval. One of the first features that was added to intervalometers is the ability to use an external event to signal the start of the time interval(s). The ability to sense an external event is such a common feature of intervalometer products that many people do not distinguish between the sensing of the event and the measuring of time intervals.
What is meant when someone refers to an "intervalometer" must be determined from context. Some possibilities are: time-lapse capability (strictly an intervalometer function), sensing of a remote event, a time delay longer than what most consider the "self-timer" range, etc. Strictly speaking, an intervalometer only measures, and/or signals, time intervals.
Almost all digital cameras have the basic hardware capability required for intervalometer functions: knowing the current and elapsed times. The implementation of more advanced functions is a matter of what the manufacturer chooses to implement in the camera's firmware. Functions beyond the self-timer are beginning to be seen in some digital cameras, and are used in some cases to distinguish models within a camera line.
The Nikon D2 series (models D3, D200, D300, D700, D5000, and D7000) have built-in intervalometers. Older Nikon cameras can use the Multi-function Remote (MC-36) as an intervalometer.

Thanks much for your explanation of an Intravalometer. The reference to self-timer as a simple IVM made the rest easily understood. Thanks again. Learned a new word and photo technique as well.

your last sentence said "If you want to purchase an expensive intravalometer, you can also change the number of AEB." How so? I understand that the intravalometer would be set to shoot multiple exposures but these would be redundant settings, no?
