Frustrating X100VI AE Bracketing issue

[Pete Rowbottom]

Hi Folks, I have an X100 VI and I like to shoot using the AE bracketing a lot with the style of photography that I mostly do, no issues there. So I set the camera up to shoot 5 bracketed images, at 1 stop apart which it does perefectly. However, if I turn the camera off between shooting to conserve battery life when i go to shoot another sequence it has reverted to just 3 shots and a 1/3 of a stop difference. Everytime this happens and it's got to be a real pain now as I can't find out how to keep it at the 5 shots and 1 stop increments that I selected.  Can anyone shed any light on this for me please as it's the one thing that is spoiling my experience with this camera.  Many Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've just checked with my X100vi (firmware dated June 27, 2024). My 5-pic bracketing setting is definitely preserved after the camera is switched off then on (but not after going to video mode then back to still image mode of course).

still the same, always reverts to 3 brackets 1/3 of a stop apart, cannot understand why

Are you using custom settings perhaps?

Same if you don't switch the camera off but simply wait until it goes automatically into sleep mode?

In case of persistent issue with no solution, a full camera reset (see owner's manual page 276) might fix the problem.
