Hello all,

Yes this looks like a lazy topic, but after fighting with the compiler on windows/cygwin (and failing) for too long, and assuming the same will probably happen if I repeat with a fresh ubuntu install, I was wondering if anyone manage to make an updated VMWARE image...or clear, working step-by-step instruction to update the old vmware image to the stable 2.3 build?

Thanks all!

Hello everyone,

I've been following the CHDK and Magic Lantern development for some time, and I must say, what you guys did with the 550D (T2i) is amazing.... so amazing in fact that it might be the perfect solution for a project I am working on. 

I need to shoot anywhere between 5,000 and 100,000 images per "cycle", which is something I usually do with framegrabbers.  This would obviously kill any DSLR in less than a day. 

My need is to shoot at various exposures (HDR) with external triggerting without killing the camera. 

So essentially, I would like to use HDR bracketing, LCD sensor, mirror lock up,  AND electronic shutter altogether.

I've managed to get the HDR bracketing triggered with the LCD Sensor (love it!), so I can put some electronics there to automate the acquisition, I tried the silent picture and mirror lock up, but I can't seem to find the way to take pictures without triggering any mechanics (maybe its the liveview? automatic setting in HDR?). 

The setup would be static (no need to refocus or do anything else other than taking pictures)  Lighting could vary but be compensated by various EV stops in the HDR bracketing and fixed in post.

Also I was reading on the main page that the silent mode is limited to 2 megapixels, but in the menus I see more resolution when doing 2x2, 5x5, etc.. is it a lack of update in the features list or am I missing something?

Thanks all!
