Hi A1ex and all you guys,

First of all let me thank A1ex and the other contributers for a very nice piece of software. ML is reason enough to choose Canon before any other camera brand!

I have been using ML stable release 2.3 for a few years now, first on 50D and now on 5D2.
I am experimenting with astro and daily timelapse  and got interested in the nightly builds with shutterless picture capture. I am experimenting with nightly build: Nightly.2014Aug02.5D2212.

I have issues using the silent picture function with intervalometer ( set: 1pic/sec, silent picture: simple)
It records around 122-137 pictures in DNG and than stops. I tried several times and they all stop around these picture rates. I had a few times err30 and needed to take out the battery.

The second issue I get is a few black pictures with some green zones in the batch.

I have not found others with this issue on the forum (although there is very much information on it and I have not read all ;-)) am I doing something wrong?

I want to make timelapses with around 1pic/sec, 300+ pictures in DNG format, that must not be hard on the camera processor.

Any ideas?
