That's something I like better in the G7X II and the G5X II, and have trouble adjusting to on my 6D2. The result is that I don't use exposure bracketing as much on the 6D2, since getting there is a multiple step operation, considering that I want to set a burst mode to keep from having to do the counting. On the G cameras there is a handy exposure compensation dial (maybe too handy) around the mode dial. If that is not on 0, the bracketing centers around that altered exposure.Which reminds me how irritated I was by the way exposure bracketing works in single shot mode. You have to actually press the shutter three times, and if you lose count somehow, or forget you're in that mode, you're never going to figure out why the camera is misbehaving and underexposing then overexposing. Exposure bracketing and white balance bracketing should cause a burst of the proper length even in single shot mode, since you obviously want three or five (or however many) shots. I imagine this is true for focus bracketing too.
You *CAN* do 3(or more or less) - shot exposure bracketing with the R5 with a single press. I have it set up as my main way to shoot. Use the M-fn button and select the 2nd from left choice (for single shot/multi shot/timer delay choices). Choose the multi shot H+ setting (best). Now, with the exposure already set up to do 3(for example) different exposures, just press and *HOLD* the exposure button long enough for the 3 shots to finish (it won't do more than that even though you continue holding the button). DONE! Ta-Da! Note: if you don't hold it long enough to finish the 3 shots then you will have the bad behavior in your next shots that you already mentioned. That's why I use the multi shot H+ setting as it finishes the 3 shots the quickest!Which reminds me how irritated I was by the way exposure bracketing works in single shot mode.
