Title: Bug hunting: Bulb mode in 7D and - maybe - other Digic 4 cams
Post by: Walter Schulz on February 01, 2019, 02:34:42 PM
Steps to reproduce:
Start photo mode with ML defaults.
Take a pic.
Switch cam to bulb mode.
Open ML menu. Go to Shoot screen -> Bulb mode -> Q
Set Exposure duration to 40 seconds
Set Display during exposure to Show previous pic
Leave menu by half-shutter press.
Press half-shutter for > 1 seconds. Cam should make a beep and beginn to take a pic.

Expected result (with bug):
- Screen turns dark (no pic shown) and remaining time counts down. (Upper left area).

After bulb mode terminated you will see the pic in review.

Now take a second pic in bulb mode. Expected result (with bug):
- Screen turns dark (no pic shown) and remaining time does not show up at all.


Please test (owners of other D4 cams as well) and report back!

EDIT: Found time to downgrade to 2.0.3 and build #3 (2013Dec22). Did not work either. Third shot with option Show previous pic: No countdown line written. And clock (counting up exposure time, showing lower right corner) doesn't show up at all. Missing pic, too.
More to debug:
Option "Display during exposure Don't change" doesn't show any message. 650D shows clock incrementing.
Awaiting reports from other D4 owners before opening Bitbucket issue.

Don't know if other DiGiC 5 cams are affected. Please test other D5 cams and reply here.
EDIT: a1ex told this feature can not work on 650D and most likely not working on 700D/M, too.
And we need a list of cams able to work, including D4:

How to reproduce:
Modules menu -> Silent.mo ON -> Reboot
Shoot menu -> Silent Pics -> Q -> Select "Best Focus" -> Q -> Silent Picture ON
Enter Liveview
Half-Shutter press for some seconds.
Release Shutter
Cam will process pictures.
If most pics are garbled: But is there.



Confirmed working on:
7D (Walter Schulz)

Confirmed broken on:
650D (Walter Schulz)
100D (Walter Schulz)
