It sounds like you have auto exposure bracketing on in combination with the continuous drive mode or just the low speed continuous? Aeb should turn off when you turn off the camera. Press the af drive button and switch back to single.

This is not an easy part for me, but I think I have succeeded ... so Is it better to let AEB ON to have three different exposure on three identical image ?

Best result or more image quality choice ?

Thanks David !

The 7D can take single, 3, or 8 shots a sec. Depends on all the settings of course. Take your camera out of auto and press af*drive on the top of the camera. Look at the top display, turn the wheel and it will fix this.

If you're having this problem I suggest reading the manual. This camera was completely foreign to me and after reading it cover to cover I now feel comfortable but still need to learn more! Like all the different auto focus settings, and AEB, etc...

On my camera (Nikon D80) - I tend to leave AEB off unless I want to do HDR.
