Title: raw-silent-pictures and continous shooting
Post by: escho on May 08, 2013, 07:00:44 PM
Hallo

Using this new version ([600D] New Memory.zip) for capturing 14 Bit raw silent pictures give great results. But I see a regression, I don´t like very much. Let me explain.

Using the older version ( [600D] EasyCutLvrec.zip), I can do continous raw-shooting. that means, I make the half-shutter sticky, select silent pictures burst mode, press the shutter half and go drinking a nice bottle of bear. My 600d writes 16 dng-silents in raw-quality to a buffer or a cache (don´t know) in about 1 second. After this, the silents are written to SD-card (in about 18 seconds). If that is finished, the next 16 pictures are captured. That ist something like continous silent raw shooting with hickup. If I come back from my bottle of bear, the sdcard is full with nice pictures.

Using this new version ([600D] New Memory.zip), the continous shooting doesn´t run any more. Same setup like before. Capturing runs pretty good. But writing to sd-card is limited to 2 pictures now, if I have the half shutter sticky. ML tells me: saving cancelled. that´s not so good, if I want to drink a bottle of bear (or for astronomical stacking, I want to test this silent-raw-mode for) :)

Must be from what a1ex rewrote.. I guess he added a cancel and now it messes up this workflow.

Solved, you should use intervalometer for that.

Just compiled it for my 600D. Works like a charm. ThankYou!

Switching the silent pic mode to single, turning on intervalometer for crazy shooting and now I have a really continous raw silent shooting. Speed is about 42 pics per minute. And the best of all, I have no more corrupted pictures, if I use 5x-crop!

However, if I stop the intervalometer, shooting goes on. I have to switch off camera.

Great work
