Just want to report that when I press the shutter deflicker module create a sidecard.  But if I use the intervalometer it doesn't.  Am assuming for now, it treats multiple frames MLV as movie.  Maybe in the future we can have XMP for Full-size SP MLV mode?



Good news is I think I have achieved Holy Grail with Full-res SP-MLV.  Am exporting them now as 16bit TIFF to deflick in Adobe Bridge.... Stay tune...

For Alex, you are right, the meta is wrong... As I observe shutter was going from 1/5 to 1/6 gradually etc ...  but meta says most frames were 1/2 seconds

EDIT:  here is the video from last night

Ran deflicker in Abode Bridge like 20x  then ran it in GBDeflicker for about 6 more times.  Still have flickers.  Will try again tonight. Out of 286 frames  one were all black.

Shoud I put Highlight ignor at 0.5%  or 5%  <-- am throwing these number because am not experience

awesome.  and yes I was in manual.  i think my meta is wrong becuase i do not have the latest update.  will have to wait till next week for nightly build

what would you suggest for highlight and shadow

Highlight ignore: ?? %
Midtone SNR:  4EV
Shadow SNR:  ?? EV

I will try again tomorrow and report back

Am still a nOOb with ML.  Can you give me some suggestion to set for auto ETTL

As for ISO 1600, I didn't know the cap so that is why I ask.  I wasn't challenging you on the decision.

So I tried Fullres silent and ETTR MLV again tonight  LOL  am determine to get it right

My auto ETTR setting were

Trigger: Always On
Slowest shutter: 16"
Highlight ignore: 0.1%
Midtone SNR:  6EV
Shadow SNR:  2EV
Link 2 Dual ISO: ON <-------------- oops

I darken my variable ND and got  ISO: 100  F2.8  1/10 second.  Set my interval for 20 seconds

And this is what I get.  Every images is 2 stop under.  I raise each to 2 stop brighter in Lightroom and you can see the after below

1) here you see it was shot at 1/2 second  although i initial set it at 1/10


2) then few minutes later ETTR raised Tv to 1 second exposure.  ETTR never raised it again even though I have slowest set for 16 seconds in auto ETTR


3) here you can see ETTR raise ISO  from 100  to 200


4) then it settle at ISO 1600


5) and remain at 1600 to end


Am I wrong for expecting ETTR to incremental raise shutter to 16 seconds before raising ISO to next stop.
Or is it because I screwed up and have link to Dual ISO on (dual iso module were never loaded)

Is ISO 1600 the max value for ETTR

the end result video is noisy and a lot of flickering.  oh yeah time stamp is off by couple hours ... prob because I don't have latest update:

EXIF shutter speed should now be the time of FA_CreateTestImage (the time you see displayed on the LV screen), not the value set in the Canon menu (which is wrong). This value may be slightly longer than the true exposure time, but it's more correct than Canon menu shutter speed.

very cool

Josep  I don't know what software avail on Linux but would this work for ramping?

but if you have after effects, maybe

top layer normal  clip                    100% opacity ................................................................................... 0% opacity
bottom layer  darken clip               0% opacity    .................................................................................. 100% opacity

What happen when you try Fullres silent and ETTR MLV alone?  I could not get it to work on my 5D2 build.  It keeps heading to 1/8000 speed.  Am hoping it me/user error cause I really want it to works.

As for advanced intervalometer, what settings did you use.  I will try it tonight.

i have not test this but try using adobe dng convertor to convert ML dng to adobe dng

I found links for USA amazon.  and its cheaper for those who live in USA http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=TP-Link%20TL-MR3040

I also wonder about what is needed to make it works  cable and software? ..um firmware?

again same settings

Bracket Type: DOF (Aperture)
Frame: 3
EV increment: 2EV
Sequence: 0- --
2 Second Delay OFF
ISO Shifting: OFF

50mm 1.4
0- --               I get  1.4 - 2.8 - 5.6
0- + -- ++      I get  1.4 - 5.6 - 1.4
0+ ++            I get  1.4 - 1.4 - 1.4   
==========================
85mm 1.2
0- --               I get  1.2 - 2.5 - 5.0  <-- very cool I never seen 2.5 and 5.0 before
0- + -- ++      I get  1.2 - 2.5- 1.2
0+ ++            I get  1.2 - 1.2 - 1.2   

[DOF]

Is this by design or a bug

In Advance Bracket I have

Bracket Type: DOF (Aperture)
Frame: 3
EV increment: 2EV
Sequence: 0- --
2 Second Delay OFF
ISO Shifting: OFF

So.... when Sequence are

24-70mm 2.8
==========================
0- --               I get  2.8 - 5.6 - 11
0- + -- ++      I get  2.8 - 5.6 - 2.8
0+ ++            I get  2.8 - 2.8 - 2.8   

this is so nice.  bravo

i am doing star trails. at 30" its not a huge trail.

'

have you try stacking them?  http://www.markus-enzweiler.de/software/software.html

this was done with few hundreds30 seconds exposures and after effects

how are you doing it?  are you using a telescope mount that can compensate for earth rotation?  or are you doing star trails

found it.  I never knew it exist.  thnx

am just wondering what is the status of this module.  is it still functional with current builds of ML?

Just curious did you do ETTR FullRes-SP silent in DNGs  or MLV

When you did DUAL ISO FullRes-SP only, didn't your shutter speed change a lot through out the shoot? If you did in DNG then you would't have EXIF info.  But you may have notice/remember

Well look like ETTR desided not to work last night.  I am pretty sure I had ETTR always on....  I just check, I haven't touch the camera settings since last night, AutoETTR is still being sellected in ML menu along with exposure override



210 frames latter  EXIF never change


I threw the rest out cause it just too dark to be useable.

Here is the weird thing.  Am pretty sure I started at 1/15 seconds for the first pic  and

in autoETTR i have
trigger mode: Always On
slowest shutter 16"
hightlight 1%
mid SNR 6ev
shadow SNR 2 EV
link to dual ISO off


PS:  I really wish I can use ML ISO 25 in shoot mode and without pink highlight.  I wouldn't have to be F23 to start

PS PS: @Josep, you can do faster then 1/10 with FullRes-SP.  But as you go faster you will darker gradient at top of the frame.

PS PS PS:  I did a successful flicker free ETTR Holy Grails two weeks ago (not FullRes-SP)

Note to self:  keep an eye on the live view every once in a while to make sure ETTR is working.

Danne, I really appreciate you spending the time and help us/me learn.  Thank you

But i have to tell you this.  the music in the video is painful to my ears.  making it very hard to stay focus on learning from the video.  we for me anyway

thnx Alex.  I will go refresh my reading on ETTR again.  If you have any recommendation for camera settings, it would be greatly appreciated

[seem]

So I tried doing Holy Grails last night     I had ETTR always on

Initially it seem to settle into right exposure  but it did not regulate and adjust exposure from previous shot.  So as the sky gets darker all of my frames stay at F22 

I think I need to have global draw on and raw histogram on  correct?

Your thought?

Give me some suggestions and I will have another run at it later this evening

marekk , exposure overide need to be on.  as instucted by alex

Confirm on the time.  My interval was 10 seconds apart but the files creation date reported as  20 seconds apart

tried it again with interval at 30 seconds.. file creation date reported as 60 seconds apart... with final few files almost 1 hour ahead of current time.

with that said, it didn't effect my workflow

I don't know what am doing but I installed the module, then made full-res silent dng mode active then took a pic from LCD

Here is the result
