Hello Ladies and Gents,

We have a special project coming up and we need to have a line, or grid, drawn in the picture as it is taken.  This is for technical purposes -- the line(s) will be use as reference points in the final product.  Ideally, the line would be through the center, but at the end of the day, I don't really care where the line is so long as it's always in the same spot.  I know it can be done after the fact, but would like to do it as the pictures are taken.  As you can tell, aesthetics are not exactly an issue:)

Is ML able to do something like this?

TIA for any help you might provide!

Hello Everyone,
I have used DualIso many, many, times(it's one of my favorite features).  After not using the feature for a couple of months, it's not working.  The module is loaded.  Dual ISO appears in the "EXPO" screen but it's grayed out.  I can access the different setting in Dual ISO but it definitely does not do the DI exposure.

It's happened a couple of times in the past where Dual ISO was not on the list, rebooting the camera would bring the feature back.  The only thing I have done differently is that about two weeks ago I used the camera in Av. for a family event.  The camera is used in manual mode about 99% of the time.


Details:
Camera 6D
Manual exposure
Build: 2017Oct31.6D116(had previous version, no difference with new version)
Lens: tried several, no difference
Tried on two different memory cards, exact same results(Samsung, feature worked before in both cards)
removed battery

The following features are grayed out, even when turned on:
Auto ETTR
Dual IO
Expo. Override
ExpSim

After trying different cards, different version, and removing the battery, I know it's something I have done, I just can't think of anything!

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm a big fan of ETTR, and use it as much as possible/practical.  I shoot quite a bit of macro, always in manual mode(exposure & focusing).  My camera is 6D.  Is it possible to show the clipped highlights/zebras while zoomed in?  Or is this for the "Feature Request" forum?  I just downloaded the latest nightly build to see if it was there, but  no joy.

I have 6D with ML (Nightly.2016May16.6D116) installed.  Suddenly camera says to format card or reinsert it, PC says to format it.  The card is fairly new, I expect it to be original, and had been working fine until this time.  I always format the card in the camera after transferring the pictures to the PC, I doubt this card has been formatted more than 80x.  Also, I always wait for the door-light on the camera to stop flashing before removing the card from the camera.  I have pictures on the card but don't really care about the card or the pictures, so that is not the issue.  I have not formatted the card yet in hopes of finding out what could have caused this and how to avoid it in the future. 

BTW,
Don't know if this is related:
Several times(no pattern to it) the DualISO feature was not available on this firmware version, rebooting the camera brought the feature back.  I use very few features on ML, but the ones I use, I use very often!  DualIso is one of those feature.
Now that the card is acting up, the door-light doesn't come on when the door is opened.

Hello Folks,
Is there any point keeping the Dual-ISO CR2 files after converting to DNG?  As of right now I have the normally exposed CR2 files as well as the DUAL CR2s, and the converted DNGs.  I imagine the DUAl and DNG files have just about the exact same info so it becomes totally redundant to keep both files and therefore little, if any, benefit.  The concern is not because of the space being taken, rather due to the added clutter.

I use ML every time I use my cameras (70D & 6D).  I have been using it for several months on the 70D and just few weeks on the 6D(just bought it).  The cameras are used strictly for photography in manual mode and am a big fan of ETTR.  With that said, I just started playing with Dual-ISO (had not been able to get it to work before ).  I took several landscape photos this week, I would take two shots of every scene with the 6D, one with Dual ISO turned on and another with it off ---- no other difference -- manual mode and camera set on tripod --- ISO 100/800 F16, SS from 1/8" to 1.5", Canon 70-200L F4 IS(is disabled), circular polarizer.

The shots taken with Dual ISO have more "snap" to them, I can't get the other shots to match that "snap".  I'm using LR v5.7 and the monitor has been calibrated.

SO, the question: What are the disadvantages to using Dual ISO(quality, resolution, etc)?  So far I really like Dual ISO!

Thanks,

I started out with a 70D and ML is working just great on that body.  Within the last week I got a 6D, installed ML on it, and I'm a very happy camper!  Is it possible to have one version of ML for each of the cameras on the same card and go back and forth between the cameras without any issues?
