I have been playing around with the focus ramping feature which has just been recently added to magic lantern. I really like it, but I had some ideas that could possibly improve it.
So, right now to only option (that i know of...) is to set how many steps the focus will change per shot, which i find somewhat limiting. The focus will just keep going until I get the "focus limit reached" error. I was wondering if it is possible to tell the camera to do something like this:
-Set timelapse duration to 2 hours
-Take a shot every 5 seconds
-Set my initial focus point
-Set my final focus point
-I want the focus to start ramping 15 minutes into the timelapse
-I want the focus ramping to reach its end point at the 1hr45min mark
-Automatically end time lapse at 2hr mark
I assume this would be possible if magic lantern is able to automatically determine the amount of focus steps required to rack between 2 specified points. Maybe this would depend on the lens? If it not possible to determine the amount of steps, I guess the timing start and end point could probably be added with little trouble, no?
