a question I wanted to ask a long time ago.
this is about shooting fps override timelapse in video mode, for low light situation.
I bought a 6D last year and installed ML and it works fine... except for the one specific feature I wanted it .
let me explain: before , I had the 600D, and in video mode the 'fps override' in 'low light' selection works great, so I could shoot e.g. at ISO 1600 some  timelapses at night e.g. of the northern lights . Using a fast lens it works really good. But ISO 1600 is sort of the limit... beyond that there's too much noise...
if I choose ISO 800 on the 600D the video has even less noise but the shutterspeeds must be longer.
  Now, since the 6D has better low-light capability, I was hoping I could use the same feature, in video mode, fps override, 'low light' setting, e.g. at ISO 2500 or 3200 ... but no, it results in horrible noisy mesh... even at ISO 1600...  the 'low-light' setting ( long exposures of each frame in fps override ) is a mess on my 6D .

any idea what I would need to change in settings ?

hi
when I connect HDMI to my 6D and 80D the camera's screen shuts down... this does not happen with my Sony A7s.
¨
is there a way to fix this ?  does Magic Lantern offer the possibility that the 6D's camera screen stays 'on' when I connect HDMI ?

hi,
spent several weeks in Iceland this fall, saw a lot of northern lights...
here's a video shot with a 600D ( T3i ) and Magic Lantern in fps override 'low light' ,   sort of a nightlapse.

March 17-18 and 19-20   in Iceland saw beautiful Northern Lights,
had a EOS 600D and 700D
had a Tokina 11-16
used fps-override , mostly at f/2.8 , ISO 1600, 11mm , lowlight, several seconds per frame.
of course it would be better to have a 24mm/1.4 lens or other ultrawide f/1.4.... but thanks to MagicLantern's fps override in lowlight I managed to still get a pleasand result. Enjoy !
