Hi, I've had a bit of a search around, and while there are a couple of posts out there that talk about my issue, none seem to offer a solution.
I'm trying to create a HDR timelapse using the intervalometer and the bracketing features in ML on a 500D (firmware 1.1.1). The camera is set to manual mode, with as many auto features turned off as possible, manual focus and image stabilisation off (I'm using a tripod).
Ignoring the intervalometer for a second, I set ML bracketing to take 3 shots: 0, +2, -2. My problem is that ML seems to take the shots quite slowly in comparison to Canon's AEB. There's a definite pause between the shots with ML, but the canon bracketing takes 3 very fast photos in a row. All the shot/photo settings are the same, the only difference is the bracketing system.
I've tried playing with all the settings I can find in the granular menu (such as turning off the post scripts) of ML's bracketing but just can't speed up the time between shots., I've also tried getting the intervalometer to use the canon bracketing instead of ML's, but instead of taking three shots each time the intervalmoter fires, it simply takes the first exposure, then waits for the countdown and takes the +2 exposure, etc, etc.
Does anyone know what I can do to speed up ML's bracketing, or alternatively provide some instructions to exactly how to get the intervelometer to work with canon's bracketing? I've tried setting the bracketing up before the intervalometer and vice versa, turning on and off continuous shooting in the in the canon menu, but no matter what I do I can never seem to get ML to get canon's bracketing to work properly with the intervelometer, and it's own bracketing is too slow for my needs.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
