Hi A1ex, I think I just found the problem ! It seems that the cameras noise reduction interfers with AETTR. The 5D Mark II noise reduction starts at 1sec. Exactly the exposure where the zebras went wrong. I turnt off noise reduction and the camera is just exposing perfectly fine ! I will test it more intensely to confirm.
Now it seems logic to me: When noise reduction is on, the camera takes a second picture (dark) to reduce the noise. This second dark picture is immediately taken into account of ML's AETTR. And since its dark, AETTR switches to maximum exposure. If I had known about the operating of noise reduction I would never have had it activated !!  :-[

Hi A1ex,
sorry its a long time I haven't been on the forum. Since our tests I haven't retested it. Should I test it again ? I think I would need to do a reset of the camera to have chance that it changed, right ?

Sure you can do it manually. But unless your tripod is not super stable, you always risk to move the camera a bit...
Also my goal is to make a Timelase with one camera and take some single shots with another camera in the meantime. And for this AutoETTR would be perfect. You dont have to worry to much about the Timelapse, and can wander around for some other nice shots while your there :)

So its different from camera to camera ? Maybe a camera reset would help ? But I would loose all my settings... I am trying now with dslrdashboard and lrtimelapse, unfortunately without all the ML possibilities (Dual ISO etc.)

This means no holy grail Timelapses with Auto ETTR are possible with magic Lantern for Canon 5D Mark II/III  :( :-[ :'(
Any user that has no problem doing so, pless tell.

Did you have this problem only with DualISO and Full Resolution Silent Pics ? I encounter this problem also with normal Shutter actuation without Dual ISO.

Same result with Full screen review (I put the images on Dropbox). I still don't know which Canon settings I should clear ?

I just reinstalled ML with the latest built today and it reproduces the same result. The error starts if the exposure is longer than 1 sec. For ex. 1sec at ISO 100, next exposure is maximum at ISO 1600
I'll try with full-screen image review. Which Canon settings should I clear ?

I managed to take some screenshots finally (no clue how the Screenshot function in ML works, but I guess on the 5d markII its only after 10 seconds)

You find the new pictures under the same link. It doesn't display the first image taken at ISO 800 and 6sec. Hope you see something in those screenshots.

I forgot to mention regarding the former pics. The brighter was the second one (see image number)

Sorry I don't know how to upload the screenshots here...  Insert image only gives me that .

Here is the link to Dropbox with the two screenshots on Lightroom:

Hi A1ex,
thanks for your quick answer. I tried without Live View, but the problem persists. I start with a setting (i.e. 2sec at ISO 400) and after one picture it jumps to the max shutter at 1600 ISO. This time with all values for SNR Midtone / Shadow limits and Highlight clipping all at 0.

Hello, I tried to make a timelapse with the Canon 5d Mark II. Everything goes well until the values need to go beyond 1sec at 100 ISO. It jumps then directly to the max shutter speed setting (i.e. 30 sec) and 1600 ISO and as a result an overexposed image. I can change SNR Midtone / Shadow limits, the problem persists (even at 0). Same for highlight clipping, except 0% (which gives me a dark image). Also I can turn off the intervalometer but the problem still persists. Auto ETTR is on "always on" (also tried with auto snap) and Live View. The problem happens after sunset with some lights from buildings in the scene. ML version magiclantern-Nightly.2015Nov07.5D2212
