Title: 5DIII - ML Drops out of liveview occassionsly and then goes back in... HELP!
Post by: ben1000 on May 06, 2015, 06:51:43 AM
Howdy...

I'm fairly new to ML, but enjoying the features. Using it on a 5DIII.

I'm just using the standard bit rate settings, all default. Mostly what I'm using is focus peaking and a few overlays...

My issue is that sometimes, when recording or not, the 5D will jump OUT of liveview mode for a quick second (as if I had pressed the autofocus button). If I'm recording when this happens, the recording stops... but I've had this happen when not recording... It'll drop from LV, and then go right back in to it...

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

Best,

Ben

Powersaving settings are off?

I believe so... but this happens at random times and sometimes in fairly quick succession.  Would that happen with power saving?

Using the latest nightly, reset ML config, set up minimum for recording, test, add more settings, test, etc

Ok... Used it all day today for 8 hrs and not a single drop... I'm thinking now it may have been a dirty contact on my lens causing disconnects...and nothing to do with ML at all...

Will post again if it happens again... Sorry for the wolf cry... :)

Best,

Ben
