General Development / Extending past the 30 minute limit by flicking the ML Menus

« on: July 08, 2014, 07:38:39 PM »

Hi all,

I'm cross posting from the 50D thread to aid visibility on something we've discovered and there's been no postings there since Saturday.

kolen came up with an interesting idea which seems to work, when shooting flick into the ML menu and then back to Live View and for the 50D recording seems possible over the 30 minute limit now.

It would be great if this could be done without touching the camera - so an internal timer blips the ML menu after 25 mins of recording.

For Raw FPS adjusted timelapse this would be absolutly fantastic!!

Possible?  Safe?  Thoughts on this?

General Development / ML parameters via libgphoto2/USB?

« on: December 29, 2013, 07:35:30 PM »

I've just had a quick play with libgphoto2 to see what params I can access via USB, I looked at libptp a while ago and libgphoto2 seems to be much better. 

The stock Canon ones seem fine but nothing from ML seems to be coming back when I query the cameras (50D/600D).

Any ideas on this, is it possible to read/write ML params via USB?

General Chat / Kickstarter fund to produce cheap hi-res 9" HDMI monitor

« on: November 07, 2013, 08:56:14 PM »

Looks interesting, it's designed for the RasberryPi micro Linux system but can be used as a fields monitor, resolution is 1280 x 800.

Most of the pledges have gone, but there's still a few left.

General Development / Dumping debug info to card

« on: October 21, 2013, 07:50:43 PM »

Quick question, is there a 'correct' ML way of dumping info to a logfile or card?  Should I use FIO Create/WriteFile?

I'm looking for the best way to printf the values of a few params for investigating.

Thanks

Share Your Videos / 50D Raw FPS Video Timelapse - Swiss Alps

« on: September 05, 2013, 11:03:13 PM »

Hi all,

Just a couple of FPS Timelapse shots from the top of 2 Swiss mountains last week.  The weather was perfect, clear blue sky with still some clouds floating around.

Tech
Canon 50D - 10-22mm EF-S lens
TL 27 Aug build
Mix of 24 FPS, 2.5 FPS and 1 FPS as the end, this blew out my ND8 filter but was able to recover it somewhat in Resolve afterwards, isn't raw great :-)

Feature Requests / Digital Dolly Speed Config

« on: May 31, 2013, 06:02:31 PM »

Hi all,

Can you add a feature to specify the number of frames per pixel move?  So, for example a value of 50 @ 2.5 FPS would work out at nearly 11 seconds per pixel move.

Would be fantastic for FPS Adjusted Timelapse.

If you run at 24 FPS higher values, such as 250 or 500 might be good as well.

Thanks
Phil
