Title: HDR with 3 second delay between shots
Post by: bondiphotos on August 25, 2013, 01:08:44 AM
I do interior shots where I shutter bracket with an off camera flash and need time for strobe to recycle, and would like to do HDR with a 3 second delay.

5DII and I've tried Stable Release: v2.3 and nightly build. When I try to use intervalometer and advanced bracketing at the same time, it runs through the HDR sequence but with no delay, also it doesn't stop at the number of shots specified in the intervalometer menu, but goes for another round of bracketing.

Any ideas, this is the only thing I want ML for.

Pretty easy to do with a script. You'll have to use 2.3 stable, the nightlys have lost script support momentarily b/c of all the module stuff.

Something like this:

Code Select


console_hide();

//0 EV
takepic();
sleep(3.0);

//+2.0 EV
set_ae(2.0);
takepic();
sleep(3.0);

//-2.0 EV
set_ae(-2.0);
takepic();


Modify to suit your needs

EDIT: I take that back about using the stable 2.3 it didn't have scripting. You'll actually have to use an old nightly.  Probably sometime around april I think.

If you combine Adv. Bracketing and Intervalometer the camera will do
(number of frames in Adv. Bracketing) * (number of shots in Intervalometer)

If you want to put a delay between Adv. Bracketing shots you may want to use Mirror Lockup "Always ON".

The opening post of this thread describes exactly what looking to get out of ML.  Additionally, there is code provided in the thread.  My question:

1.  Please confirm that this feature is incorporated into the latest version of ML.  If so, I'm struggling to find it and would appreciate a little help.
2.  If not in current version of ML, is the code posted earlier in the thread valid? 
3.  Is code is still valid, do u have to enter the same lines for every EV step or is there a simpler way?

My apologies in advance if this has been resolved previously.  I did search the forum and this was the best solution back in 2013.

Thanks in advance

2. No

However, there is now scripting support in the latest nightly builds, but it is a totally different scripting language: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14828
