Promote Control will still take 7 images total, but they will be shifted 1 step towards shadows. Note that
"steps" used in this setting is not the EV step - it's whichever step you define in your HDR settings. In
example above, the sequence was shifted 1 step to shadows - and since your HDR bracketing was set to
2EV between images, the sequence was shifted down 1 step of 2EV.
8.3.32 Enable camera settings check/sync
Default: Yes
This setting allows Promote Control to verify your camera settings before beginning an image sequence.
If any setting (such as focus mode or exposure mode) is not set as required, Promote Control will display
a message prompting to resolve the issue.
This setting should only be set to "No" by expert users who are confident that the current camera
settings will allow Promote Control to function as intended. We recommend keeping this setting "On"
unless directed otherwise.
8.3.33 Enable post-sequence image check
Default: Yes
If Promote Control is set up to use a shutter cable (see Use a Separate Cable for Shutter Release
Setup setting), but shutter cable is not connected, no images will be taken as a result. This setting allows
Promote Control to check the number of images when done, and if no new images have been recorded,
show a message prompting to connect a shutter cable.
If your camera model implements a non-standard protocol, this function may work incorrectly, displaying
above message when it's not required. If you would like to disable the above message, this setting
should be changed to "No".
8.3.34 Focus stacking step delay
