I was on a shoot and had to hastily grab a camera that was shooting time lapse with ML, I didn't shut it down properly, just turned off the camera. Now when I am trying to retrieve those images the CF card isn't recognized when inserted into the computer. If I put the card back into the camera I get an error message that says "card not formatted format card with this camera" but none of the buttons or menus seem to work.
Anyone have any experience with a similar situation?

I've been loving  auto ETTR  for shooting time lapses where I can't be near the camera to manually adjust exposure during the holy grail transitions. I am consistently having one problem though:
Instead of continuously slowing the shutter speed as the light fades, it toggles back and forth before settling in on the next slowest shutter speed. This creates a ton of keyframes in LR Timelapse which I then have to manually adjust. It seems to do this without much reason- no clouds passing shadows or object moving into frame to change exposure. Would boosting the 'highlight ignore' help ML stick with its decision?
There must be a way to set the AETTR so that it adjusts exposure less frequently, but in larger steps. (and in only one direction)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Has anyone else had this problem?
After downloading images from the card (mine's a Lexar 1066x, 32G) when I reinsert the card into the camera, ML is sometimes missing. It doesnt happen everytime, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. When I put the card back into the PC, the ML folder is there, but it is empty. Very frustrating. I'm using july 28 '14 build.

I am having trouble with sound recording on a 5d2-feb 16th build.
My settings are this:
FPS override OFF
MLV sound ON
In the Canon menu I've tried sound recording set to manual as well as disable.

I'm expecting to find a separate WAV file, but all I get is the MLV file and a mlv_rec.tmp
All the posts I've read about enabling sound seem to be working with different menu options than I have,
has anyone recorded sound with this build on a 5d2?
ANY suggestions appreciated.
