It works, set it to every other shot in the module... just the prefix may be mixed up between them. So set to 3200, take a shot and then set to 1600 and the next pic should be dual iso...
I was thinking in terms of continuous shooting where you don't have a chance to change settings. I was imagining something along the lines of the auto-bracketing setup, where you set the number of steps +- for the dual-ISO shot, and then it adjusts automatically from whatever ISO you have set for your single ISO shooting (ideally including the value picked by auto-ISO)

am I reading this right that there is an alternating dual/single iso mode?

does this mean that if I set this mode I should be able to just hold down the shutter and it will alternate between the two modes?

If so, this is fantastic!!

(if not, any chance of creating such a mode? something like switching between single ISO 3200 and dual ISO 1600/6400 for example)

Wow that's pretty bad. I don't know why everyone keeps searching for a better card. The SanDisk extreme pro blows anything out of the water. The only way any card could give it a run for it's money is buy purchasing a card with similar specs. Not one that had a 30mb/s lower specified write.
The problem is that when used on the 6D the SanDisk extreme pro does not blow anything out of the water, it doesn't preform noticeably better than any other card. nothing is doing better than around 40MB

now, there may be some advantage in that if you pull the card out of your camera it takes less time to read things from the card on your computer.

But for purposes of capturing raw video it's not any better than other cards.

have you looked at the HDMI interface? according to the wikipedia page even hdmi 1.0 can do 1.6Gbit/sec (around 200MB/sec) or more depending on the mode. it may take special software or hardware to receive the data, but if it's even possible to dump it out at those rates it could be very interesting

if nothing else, for those looking for audio, this may be a way to get the audio out of the camera

could you send the audio info over the wifi connection while using the SD card for the video?

These frame numbers actually sound very reasonable. When I first got my 6d I did some testing to see how fast I could shoot before the camera slowed down because it needed to write to the CD card (including some testing with different speed SD cards)

I suspect that what's happening is that right after the camera is turned on, when it hasn't done anything else, you can fit 29 raw frames in memory, and then after it starts working it never completely flushes those frames from memory (after all, you may want to bring them up on the back of the camera, view info, etc), and probably also stores a low-res jpg (for the camera display), so after you have stared shooting, there's only room for 11 raw frames in memory

Shutter opens, camera records movie, shutter closes.
so we should (in theory) be able to do the same thing for time-lapse sequences, right?

how do they do video recording? I'm sure they don't do 30 shutter clicks/sec, that would hit the 100K shutter activations in only 55 minutes of video

I looked up some DSLR life expectancies regarding the shutter count [1] and came to the conclusion that saving shutter counts is maybe not that essential as I thought :)

well, if a single time-lapse sequence uses 1K shutter activations, then a 5D is only good for about 100-300 such sequences, that seems like a rather short lifetime, so if there is a way to avoid exercising the parts, it seems like a good thing.

ML: SDCard format issue

Last time i tried with a 5D Mark II, when formating the SDCard, a ML process was backuping ML from the card and restoring it just after.

On the 6D, 2 messages and a kind of beep:
Restart your camera
Shoot_malloc err

You can format the card but ML is gone
This sounds right to me, ML is quite few files  on the card, formatting the card would eliminate all files from the card, and since the camera doesn't have a place to stash the files during the format, the newly formatted card won't have the ML files on it any longer.

Dlang: i made you an iso of my SD card with ML 2.3 on

http://ge.tt/204RWcY/v/0
hmm, something went wrong. I unzipped the file I downloaded then wrote it to a SD card (via dd) and the camera says it can't read the card.

digging a bit more, this is a udf formatted card now, which makes sense if you made the contents of the card into an ISO, but as I understand it, there needs to be some specific things at specific places on the card for the camera to read it, which is what the eoscard tool does, so making an ISO of the contents won't work.

- Make the SD card bootable using EOScard:
http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/3rd_party_software

I don't have a windows machine around to run this step on, does anyone know how to do this on a Linux box? (or if someone can point me at a _small_ image of a card that's been treated this way I can try to dig into it myself)
