Larry had the answer that I believe I am using (finally back from a business trip, so will be testing this). Exposure Bracketing with 2 second self-timer, set so that it will take all bracketed shots with a single shutter button push. https://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/pentax-k-3-review/drive-modes.html I'm hoping that I can set this as one of the USER modes so I'm not thinking about making menu setting changes during the event.
