Set Time/Exposure to the longest shutter speed your camera will fire.

In the Expert Options menu:

Set Shutter Length to 0.5 seconds

Configure the camera using the following settings:

Set the camera to shoot single shots

Set the desired bracketing configuration.

Set camera to whatever mode you deem necessary to get your desired shot.

Set your shutter and aperture to your 0 exposure value. Might need ND filter so as to

not overexpose on the longer bracketing shots.

2. Configure to Pro to take a panorama as usual. While taking the panorama, the EPIC

Pro will take multiple exposures at each location. Your camera will do the necessary

adjustments of shutter speed to get the desired exposure levels. If the camera has trouble

writing the images to the card before the next image position, increase the Time/Picture in

the Options menu.
