I need to capture the HDMI output of a 60D continuously over 30 minutes. I noticed that at 30 minutes, the mirror closes-opens. I read on the forum that it can be avoided by using the function sticky halfshutter to force the camera to feed the HDMI continuously. The problem is that we get a HS in red into the image and a bunch of information in white at the bottom (40 3.5 ||||*|||| [231] ISO 800).

Does anybody find a workaround to achieve what I'm trying to do?

powersave_prohibit();


(Perhaps we should expose this to Lua).

That would certainly be more elegant than the hack I wrote for an EOSM wildlife camera trap:

Don't know if the key.press(KEY.HALFSHUTTER) would register on the HDMI output because it is immediately followed by key.press(KEY.UNPRESS_HALFSHUTTER).
