Wait, let me get that straight:
You're using a module built for the 60D and it works on the 650D? Without doing anything harmful or at least make ML on the 650D crash or hang?

Yeah, it seems to, although I haven't run a proper timelapse sequence or processed the files yet (the software part is confusing me) but it appears to be adjusting exposures and creating the uwr files. No hangs or crashes yet.

Auto ETTR is in the exposure menu if that build has it. I believe it should.

Turns out its a module- i downloaded a build for the 60D, then copied the ettr.mo file to the modules folder on the sd card. It now comes up in the expo menu, and seems to be auto exposing, and creating the .uwr files. Have yet to test it in a situation where im getting gradual exposure changes (like sunset)... maybe next weekend.

All i need to do now if figure out the software processing side of things- the guide gets a little incomprehensible in the software section with the bin files directories etc.

Thanks for the reply- im pretty sure it should have it too, but ive looked all over and cant see it. Is it in a submenu in the expo tab? any chance you have a screenshot of where i should be looking?

Cheers!

Hi there

Anyone have any advice on finding the auto ETTR option on the 04-07-2013 build? I only seem to have manual ramping in the intervalometer settings. Do i have to add/load a module or am i missing something?

Thanks

Automatic bulb ramping was replaced with ETTR + post deflicker.

For exposure indicator, you can use the ETTR hint from the histogram.

I tried looking for this tonight, but cant find the ETTR menu in the expo tab. Has it been implemented in the 650D already, or is it due soon? im using the Satriani build from 07-02-2013.

Cheers

from a different thread

Also try it instead of bulb ramping: enable intervalometer, auto ETTR and post deflicker. In theory, this should give 100% flicker-free timelapse on the entire exposure range (from 1/8000 to 30 seconds). I'll try it this weekend hopefully.

Both methods use robust statistics (that percentile thingie from the old bulb ramping), so I expect very good results.

That is awesome. Hopefully get a chance to play with that this weekend. Anyone have any example timelapses they have made using this feature? would be great to see.

cheers

Hi there

Great work. I wanted to second a question made in post 45, which i dont think was addressed yet (although i may have missed it). Is auto bulb ramping (sunrise, sunset etc) supported? i can find the manual settings under intervalometer, but cant find any auto settings.

Also, is there a 'correct exposure' indicator? like the +/- 3EV graph with the square slider on the native canon screen? cant seem to find one.

Thanks
