Yes, there are interactivity timers for powersave in LiveView (but only for that, for now).

There is a clock incrementing every second (get_seconds_clock) so a timeout from last button press is a good idea.

The purpose of that is to let the user know that something's running and may drain the battery.

Any suggestion?

With your config, the blue LED stays off when pressing shutter halfway (5D2, 2.3 RC1).

The tools for compiling the FIRs are not public.

Does this happen with the RC1 (just posted)? If yes, send me your config file.

You can use PTP for that: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/PTP-CHDK

But I think you need some custom handlers.

No need to decrypt the firmware once you run ML - see the FAQ.

You can put the reg dump on "don't click me" and maybe you can use some delay. Or call fake_simple_button(BGMT_PLAY) to force playback mode after ML menu is closed.

Ah, no need to revert the bootflag, the firmware update won't touch it.

You can format one card and use it for updating.

KarateBrot: you mean Canon menu, right?

Not for next big update.

It tells you "hey, you forgot the camera on! it may be draining the battery...".

The "always on" is because you enabled some feature that uses half-shutter (like HDR or trap focus).

Here are my guesses from dumping the registers:

Code Select Expand


68,68, 6e, 6f: auto/manual?

7e/7f: 04 = WF off, 07 = WF on

audio gain:
32/33
38/39
6e/6f

68/69 agc


Some background: audio registers have two digits (let's say 0xAB).

To read a register: int value = audio_ic_read(0xAB00);
To write to a register: if value is 0x12, you call audio_ic_write(0xAB12).

You have to wait until it's announced. Until then, compile from source.

For preview it may be possible at some point. For recording, no.

At startup, sensor cleaning goes away at the first key press, no need for ML to interfere with it.

Try with http://bit.ly/ml-may15 .

Thanks, but the answer to all your questions is no.

Beta testing was the feedback from ml-devel, then there was a early RC0 testing among the current ML team. You can see the results here:

And I call it "release candidate" because I don't have plans for changing any functionality - just fix any remaining bugs which I wasn't able to detect.

As you know, in the PDFs that come in the stable releases we also mention the people who have contributed. But the task for mentioning everyone's contributions properly is not as easy as it seems - so I need a bit of help. The toughest problem that I want to avoid is to forget an important contribution.

Here's my draft for the in-camera version:

It was already done. On the old version, just set Canon ISO to 320 (undocumented trick for 60D/600D only).

Done.

Scrollbars have a disadvantage though: you don't see everything that's available in that menu, at a glance.

No.
