Duplicate Questions / Possibly make a dummy SD card?
January 10, 2014, 10:11:44 AM
This is more of a wild rambling but could have some merit.

To add a V mount battery to a DSLR you simply plug in a dummy Canon battery which has a lead attached.

Theoretically, the same could be said for memory cards by creating a dummy SD card with two(?) thin wires inside these wires would then go into a capacitor, as I believe SSD's take a higher voltage, by this stage the wires will be somewhat thicker to go into an SSD mounting plate under the camera.

To manufacture something like this would certainly require precision tools and is out of the realm of the amateur as it would have to go to an industry professional. An SSD also raises questions of its own:

- Would ML work through an external device
- You would probably have to drill a hole through your SD door to allow it to shut > rain
- Would the camera even be able to read it
-USB or SSD reader

Could be useful as you wouldn't have to have so many cards shooting RAW but I think it's pure theory.

Hi,

I'm new to HDR in video so please forgive if I'm missing something, I have a Canon 600D.

When I switch to HDR I want the screen to display the lowest ISO when I'm recording and not alternate between the two every few seconds as this makes critical focus impossible but when I'm framing up I still want it to alternate.
Am I missing a button somewhere?
