Can you explain how its faster than ML standard please? :)

Nice!

5D2, 4x2EV: 1/30 <delay> 1/125 1/125 1/125. Boo...

@Doyle4: his video is very clear, try watching it ;)

Extremely relevant to my interests. Not sure why it's so slow now. I tried to do fast silent pic hdr with pico c but it took forever.

Oops... didnt see the links underneath :P what late nights do to you, looks great!

Doyle4

When its been cleaned etc, do you think Dual Iso could be synced along side with it?

c2s07

I was hoping the tweak eliminated the mirror slap between exposures. :)

Doyle4

once cleaned im sure itll run nice along silent shutter :)

Now works with Intervalometer.
Fast bracketing 15EV, Sequence (0 - --), EV increment (0.5 EV) sounds like an start old engine LOL  ;D

Ops damaged the SD card.
Card work, the housing is in 2 parts  :(

We need fast DOF bracketing? Each code optimization is useful when continuous shooting.

yesssss


engardeknave

This is exciting. Should make DOF bracketing a lot more practical.

Do you know something about LockSw? - http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Tx19a

If this lock SW1 and SW2, it would be useful for the Bulb Timer and Fast Bracketing.

Verifying "get_halfshutter_pressed()" take too long.

Tested on another camera than the 500D?

Excellent work Greg.
When a pull request? :)
:P I can't wait to test it on my 60D ;D

a1ex

My results on 60D:

- sometimes it takes the bracketing correctly, but slow (just like before)
- sometimes it takes first shot at 0 EV, then a small delay, then all the remaining shots are taken quickly, but all of them (except the first) have the same exposure.

Example (5x2 EV, speed tweak on, everything else default):
- 1/500, 1/2000, 1/125, 1/8000, 1/30 (slow)
- 1/500, 1/2000, 1/2000, 1/2000, 1/2000 (fast)

This is with both high-speed and normal continuous modes. I just take a few bracketed sequences with the same settings, and the odds of getting either behavior seem roughly 50/50.

Greg

It seems that when you take a picture, we can not change the shutter speed.
Maybe it does not work on cameras with two displays?


I think it could work like this:
SW2(0,50);
SW1(0,50);

if (shutterhdr) shutterhdr = COERCE(shutterhdr, 16, FASTEST_SHUTTER_SPEED_RAW); // 30s ... 1/8000 or 1/4000
prop_request_change_wait( PROP_SHUTTER, &shutterhdr, 4, 200);

SW2(1,50);
SW1(1,50);

It is too slow

Hello Greg,

Have you made progress about this idea? It seems very promising, maybe why not try to port it to a module? :)

We can add it to the repository, it works only on the 500D. I do not have another camera to check/change the code.
Maybe it will work on the 550D/600D.

It works, the mirror does not move!  ;D


c2s07

That cannot work... it's not duct tape! :)

Greg

I think we can not do this function.
500D has one motor in the mirror box, he is responsible for the mirror and shutter.
For example, the 50D has two motors.

nanomad

Correct, all the rebels have mirror motion linked with shutter operation.
