question about AEB setting

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
i have set the trash to AEB, that work fine apart from the setting of how i 
want AEB to take photos.
i've tried to change it so it will take different amount of frames from 3-9 and 
for some reason 5 and 7 is missing.

here is what steps i took.
DP buttom to go into menu.
Parameters-AEB +1.
Scripts-!Extended AEB- 2s Delay NO or YES, Frames 3,4,6 or 9, Step (EV) +1,+2 
or +3 Direction +/-,
Bulb min 1/250, Buld max 1/60.

it still only take 0,-1,+1. or 0,-2,+2 if i press trash button again.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the normal AEB works fine, just couldn't get the 400plus setting to work.

What version of the product are you using?
400plus-20130305-r1758

Please provide any additional information below.
it very possible that i m at fault as i m very new to all this. tell me like i 
m an idiot on how i ment to set it up ^^
thanks

I think you are confusing the AEB function, provided by the camera, with the 
EAEB script, provided by 400plus.

The AEB function is limited to 3 shots, and must be activated using the shutter 
button; 400plus can expand the step between shots (at the "Parameters" menu), 
and you can configure the TRASH / JUMP buttons to access it quickly. But it is 
still the AEB function, limited to 3 shots, and must be fired with the shutter 
button.

On the other hand, you have the EAEB script, which is not limited to 3 shots, 
and must be configured and fired from the "Scripts" menu.

And, let me remember you that the "400plus-20130305-r1758" version is a 
"nightly build"; unless you want to test the latest development releases, I 
would stick to the official releases.

Is internal AEB limited to +/-2 ? Would be nice of it could shot eg +/-3.

As explained in the user guide, go to Menu -> Parameters -> AEB and you can 
change it up to 6EV... Please, have a look to the documentation before asking; 
thanks.

Okay, some more explaining is required....

I don't have the camera in hand now, so I can't test for myself. But as far as 
I remember, there is no way you can set Canons AEB beyond 2EV. 
I want to 
- set AEB +/-3EV
- press shutter button
- camera take 3 pictures: 0/-3/+3 EV

I am not talking about scripting. I need shutter button to take the pictures.

Ultimately I would assign a button to have fast access to AEB. We have that 
today, but it is limited to 2EV. 
It is all about having a fast way to toggle AEB. Going to the menu is too slow.

Sorry to bother you, but I could not extract this from the guide.

Thank you

From the guide, at "The menu" > "Pages" > "Parameters" > "AEB" 
(http://code.google.com/p/400plus/wiki/UserGuide#Parameters): "Same as the 
standard AEB, but extends the range from -6 to +6 EV.". Using that entry in 
400plus' menu, you can configure the standard AEB function to separate pictures 
up to 6EV, and it will work with the shutter button just as you described; 
sorry if the documentation is not clear here.

If you feel there is a need to enhance the quick-AEB action, please open a 
separate issue, and I'll be glad to discuss about it there; thanks.
