When using a fixed number of VR Drive bracketing releases (3, 5, 7…) the VR Drive
will know the number of exposures and will correctly generate the xml file.
However, when using
“bracketing special”,
this information is not available to the
VR Drive and it will output an xml with only one image per position (bracketing=1).
To overcome this problem,
switch from “bracketing special” to a fixed number
and then export this xml file.
