tour ×  I am getting into some HDR photography and was thinking
of a new ways that camera manufactures could help us in
capturing HDR pictures. Say you want to capture three image and
you have a constant Aperture and ISO with shutter speeds of 1/2,
1 and 2 seconds (for -1, 0 and +1 exposure compensation). You
set the shutter speed to 2 seconds and press the shutter release
button. 1/2 seconds later, the camera takes a readout from its
sensor and saves the output to a file. Another 1/2 second later
(for 1 second exposure) it takes another readout and saves the
data. 1 second after that (for the 2 second exposure) it takes
another readout of the sensor and saves the data.  So for a
single shutter count, we get 3 images at different points in
time.  I am not sure if any cameras does that but is it
technically possible to do it?
