just came from 24h time laps.
intervalometer worked rock solid.
it had some calculation mistakes (estimated pictures count was less than actual),
but since the camera was observed from time to time, it wasn't a big issue.

thank you again!

I think the problem here is that your non-original battery is one of those that doesn't have the canon chip on it.

as i said in the OP there's no battery, but external power source.
actually, it's an adapter which uses V-lock battery to power the camera (via proprietary adapter),
the external monitor and the sound recorder at the same time. the camera adapter is not chipped.

that audio thingie - is it the same with stock canon firmware, or with ML only?
can you post some details about the monitor you use?
at which resolution is it running?
do the headphones you use also feature a video out connector?

1. no, with the stock Canon FW there's no real time sound monitoring on REC/STBY at all.
2. using Coolcd HD2 7" (Lilliput 800X480 matrix).
3. monitor shows 480p resolution
4. the headphones are connected to the modified Canon AV/USB cable with sound output only.

BTW the same setup works with my 60D, so this is what I'm comparing to.

having both external HDMI monitor and the AV headphones connected
Magic Zoom is not working saying it will not work with SD monitor connected.

ok, so ive played around for a bit, turned camera off, back on and the firmware has gone, is that a bug or something ive done/not done, first play with ML firmware so my apologies if I just suck

AFAIC for now you have to load ML manually each time 7D is powered on.

If you have Clear Overlays under Display menu, try that.

set Clear Overlays to "always" - the red dot is still there.

BTW the grey half transparent bars on the top and the bottom are also there.

q: i dont have the monitor the chk this , the hdmi port can send a signal without the red dot ?

even if REC/STBY notif: OFF and Global Draw disabled the red dot IS there on external HDMI.

some time ago we discussed with Alex the "cannot communicate with battery" thing
on a stable 2.3 and he found it possible to bypass. maybe this will help.

starting the camera w/o an external HDMI monitror -> starting ML -> connecting external HDMI
-> connecting AV (headphones) = no HDMI, no cam LCD

starting the camera WITH an external HDMI monitror and AV (headphones)-> starting ML =
HDMI dows work, headphones do work, realtime sound monitoring and levels on STBY.
pushing REC disables headphones. after cutting (pushing REC againg) - no levels, no headphones.

1st, thanks for a great work!

2nd, I'm able to run ML with an original battery only.
when the camera is powered from external power source there's a "cannot communicate with battery"
message after loading the FW and the ML is not loaded.

3rd, since my main usage is video the very 1st impression was "where's the sound monitoring?".
having external HDMI monitor connected plugging in the AV cable with headphones turns HDMI off.

just my 5 cents, will play further.

Hi!

I have 2 crews working with DR-40 recorders.
The sound is crystal clear on both. We are using Sure SM58 and some gun mikes.

Hope, this helps.

looks very usefull. TnX alot!

some questions:
is verification time\size based or CRC?
