Thanks, looks very nice. :-)

No, I'll try...

Are there different resolutions of the displays depending on the model?
550D:

@1%

On 50D I had to disable dialog refresh timers to avoid this... i'll try to replicate on 7D.

Can you explain how to do this? I've a lot of pink frames on a 550D and wonder if it is possible for this camera too?

@v1rt
It's possible to trigger a stepper motor.

I believe there is no way to script with the actual ML version. You could fetch an older release.
But I think it's also nice to trigger the camera with other hardware, arduino with a little LCD for example like in the link above.

Very nice picture.

Does anybody know, how to avoid "pink frames" with silent pics on a 550D.
I tried to record pictures for a timelaps triggered by a wired remote shutter and got quite a couple of unusable frames.
Same with Intervalometer.
Are silent pics working on other models without problems?

Any advice someone?
Thanks.

I guess you use the wrong toolchain.

Try this

lots of spew but no clear error and no bins.

Can you post it?
It's important to see where the compilation fails.

There is no need to generate the doc in order to get a binary. See my output.

My menuindexentries.h is an empty file in my source code. You could try to add an empty file with this name to ../src/ .
And wait for the next error ;-) It looks like you dont't have it.

do you use the cloned source code?

Where did you get your source from? Did you clone it with "hg clone -r unified https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern" ?
Have you tried  "make 5D3" ?

Yes, the silent pics. I guess it happens because power saving turns the display off to fast to get the full fps override cylce.

Intervalometer & FPS override & Power saving & Silent pics cause magenta images.
I used a 550D.
Maybe some of the devs are interested in.

Disabling power saving solves the problem.

Awesome looking footage...

Do you know how to get the source code with working picoc, because I need some homebrew picoc commands?

Can you solve the floating point issue with tcc shortly?
And why prevent users from something which worked already?

I tried to compile ML with PicoC enabled and modules set to off.
When I start a script the camera displays "script running..." and nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong, is quite a while since I run a script? Can anybody confirm this behavior?

Silent pics are now raw DNG's.

- No 'photo-preview' between each shot/bracket. (or at least an option to disable this?) it's very annoying/slow when shooting 9 brackets.

Isn't it possible to turn the ''photo-preview" off inside Canon menu?

- For some reason disabling the af with set_af(0) doesnt disable half press af. Also half press is differing from the other button presses in some situations.

You can disable "half press af" in the Canon menu.

1. LV can't be turned off during capturing a silent pic.

5. I did build out of an old battery a battery-dummy for 550D to supply external power.
(If I had a 5D3 I would rather buy a external power supply.)

@mk11174: Thanks for sharing.
I can get max 720x406 resolution. Maybe more with a better card?
Well, it's better to blow up DNG then h264.

Great :-)

@mk11174 : can you share with me your latest modifications and procedures on how to enable raw video and disable modules, so I can help you to solve the memory problem ? Many thanks !

There is no need to disable modules, because raw_rec is a module.

Sure
You're welcome.
