BirdPics one thought for you.
Once I was on an island off s.Carolina doing bird photography. My problem was I needed to be in two places at one time.
With ML on my 6D I selected intervalometer, set up the camera/lens aimed at an osprey nest and let it click away hoping to catch the osprey returning with
a fish 'in hand'...meanwhile I'm at another location about a mile away actively imaging an eagle and eaglets on a nest.
So in this situation the beauty/utility ML gave me was an internal intervalometer so no need to connect anything, remember another cable or worry about batteries
in an external intervalometer.
You mentioned wildlife, so that goes beyond birds eh, so another area I love ML for is macro. The focus stack (though I can't remember what it is called in the ML menu, I'm at work and the 6D is at home) will allow when used with an auto-focus lens, the capture of many pics are various focal lengths of your macro subject that you can stack
in photoshop.
Just two uses among many many that ML offers.
I use the 70D solely for macro and astro now....and obviously am so looking forward to the intervalometer being internal with the 70D when I get the time for the install.

Been enjoying ML on my 6D for almost two years it seems and no problems. NOW my 70D can be crowned Magic! Woohoo.
But I was an early early adopter.....please save me from reading the whole thread....but that is why there is a 111A and 111B correct?
Also is intervalometer working?
More importantlly, where is the donate button to say thanks via PayPal ?

gerfried.guggi Thank you.

I'm so far behind.....when I go to the exposure tab in ML I do not see an Auto ETTR option...yes 2 min pic review is checked. Entered ML with 'M' on the dial, then dialed to Bulb....still no Auto ERRT option. Thoughts? (recent install on 6D)

dmilligan, thank you very much.

Last night was shooting Milky Way.
Needed intervalometer set up for 4 to 6 min exposures.
Even in bulb mode could never get ML beyond 30 sec expsoures in the exposure tab or intervalometer.
It's got to be simple, steps please.
Thanks!
p.s. had to revert to the external plug in intervalometer, will be nice to leeave it at home someday.

Which means I can control the camera from a warm sleeping bag on a remote timelapse shoot! This a very cool product!

Professional grade HDR! thanks for sharing.
Noob question. Magic Lantern surely has a built in intervalometer, correct? I'm assuming does to qeue the differents shots needed.....

Didn't see a sub-thread for intros so hoping this area might do.
I'm a Sony type but I love timelapse. So far 'normal' daytime timelapse is a go with the Sony bodies I have (Nex 5,6,7 and Alpha 77). I'm also a backpacker-thus the love of the dimuitive Nex bodies....but something is missing as you can see in my first big timelapse effort:

The missing part of of course the transition between night and day

It didn't take long for Google to prove to me that anyone serious about this transition must consider a Canon body....and that's why I'm here!

So far I've learned that there are two powerful methods to apply to the Canon- the Magic Lanter or the Little Bramper-correct?
I'm thinking the ML is better for a backpacker; just simply less to carry/loose expose to the elements and that the
ML Bios mod is completely internal requiring nothing else to carry-hoping I'm right here?

If I'm right in the above then I've chosen the Canon 5D Mark II to be my 'transitioning' time lapse camera.
Thoughts you could share with the noob?
Any and all are appriciated!
