Z1 HDRI plugin - limited bracket number

[florianze]

I am using the most recent firmware for the Z1 and the most recent version of the HDRI plugin. The bracket number seems to be limited to 7 and 9, i can not set it to any other number, it just cycles between these two.

I have tried to:

• reinstall the plugin
• play with a combination of different settings (Shutter, etc.)
• reset everything and start anew

But nothing seems to work - i can not go past 9 brackets, which i would really need for a job currently..

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, @florianze

The latest HDRI Plugin adds burst mode to the shooting mode. The default is burst mode.
Burst mode allows faster shooting, but the maximum number of shots is 9, and RAW image saving is turned off.
By using the conventional shooting mode (bracket mode), the number of shots can be set to 10 or more.

Switching between bracket mode and burst mode can be done using "RICOH THETA" basic app for the smartphone.
The procedure is as follows

1. Connect Theta Z1 to your smartphone via wireless LAN.
   For more information on connecting to a smartphone, please refer to https://support.theta360.com/en/manual/z1/content/prepare/prepare_06.html
2. Set "HDRI" as an active plug-in from "Settings" - "Camera settings"- "Plug-in” in "RICOH THETA" basic app for the smartphone.
   The browser is launched and the live preview is displayed.
3. Tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Live View screen.
   The shooting settings screen will be displayed.
4. Burst capture mode is set to ON or OFF.
   When set to OFF, the camera will be in bracketing mode.
