Quote from: 'mindfull'Hi Shogran.

i am far from qualify to help..but..

first i thought..do you have the cam set to max iso 1600? i do have mind..
and...do you mean intervalometer stops or ETTR stops? it keeps taking pictures but not well expose?

i just thought i tried to help..sorry..no much better.

Thanks for the reply mindfull!

I've had a quick look through the camera, and then on Google and it looks like the 5DII does not have a max ISO setting. I definitely can't see it listed anywhere on the camera. A great thought through, so thank-you!

The intervalometer keeps going but ETTR stops adjusting the exposure so they don't come out great!

Thanks again!

Hi guys,

I've used ETTR and XMP sidecar files successfully along with the intervalometer a few times in the past for time lapses. However over the past couple of nights I have noticed that that for some reason the ETTR starts hitting the limit as the sky gets darker (day to night lapse, shorter exposure limit to avoid trailing stars) but it doesn't increase the ISO above 1600.

I've never had the problem before and so have never noticed if this has always been the case and unfortunately I'm travelling at the moment so don't have access to any of my old files to check. But I don't understand why this is happening. I have a 5D II and the ISO is not set to AUTO. As a result of this the images created after a certain point are all the same exposure and the XMP files just start increasing the EV by a value of about 4 resulting to crazy noisy images.

I tried this evening with dual ISO enabled and started another evening to night lapse, the ETTR stopped again when it hit the exposure length limit and only with an ISO of 1600. Not a single shot was taken in dual ISO even with the setting enabled in the ETTR settings and in the exposure menu.

Does anyone have any ideas why it won't push to a higher ISO to keep shooting?
