Is there a way to make the 7D take 3 pictures in a row after pressing the shutter button once? I can't seem to find how to do this for some reason.
Thanks ahead.

Why not just hold the shutter for 3 shots? I wanted it for HDR shots. Figure it would be more stable than having to repress the button.

I don't have a remote for mine but you might be able to put it in low-speed burst and then activate it that way. Using the shutter button though I'm pretty sure you have to keep it held down. 5D4 w/BG-E20, 24-105 f/4L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, 35 f/1.4L, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2.8L IS Macro, Sigma 50 f/1.4

You should be able to do it if you use the self-timer. Set the amount of AEB you want in your menu, then set the drive to either the 2 sec or 10 sec timer and press the shutter. The camera should automatically fire the three bracketed shots and stop. John

Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

The timers and continuous shooting selections are part of the same "Drive Mode" menu so you can't select both of them at the same time. You can just use AEB and vary the exposure by 1/3 which is small enough that a little PP can get it back to where you need it. 5D4 w/BG-E20, 24-105 f/4L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, 35 f/1.4L, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2.8L IS Macro, Sigma 50 f/1.4

Its wierd, but I coulda sworn I could take 3 shots continuously using self timer for my T1i. Not sure why they would take that out.
