Has anyone tried the new Burst mode? I've gos some nice results but I can't figure out how to increase the buffer from 15 frames to more. Would be nice to have some slow-motion footage done this way.

Even with Burst-End trigger i still get 15 frames.

Any chance of getting silent picture to do exposures longer than 15 seconds?

Many thanks!

Just noticed that H264.ini was included in this nightly build. Could anyone explain more about this setting? Does it work with normal recording, or MLV RAW? Does it actually improve the quality of footage? (e.g decrease compression & increase quality). It seems to be a lack of information in regards to this setting.

Many thanks!

I do understand,

@dmilligan I think I've read this article 5 times today but did not occur that this might be the issue. Yesterday I had OK results (some flicker appeared) with DNG's but used an ND and probably this is why today was not working without it.

Another question: When using A-ETTR is there any way to increase the slow shutter to something bigger than 32" ?

Why I am asking this? Well, if I use an ND with silent picture to get -1EV trough the day, I will need more than 32" through the night (after Bramp). What is the solution?


@garry23 Seems like Slient is for day timelapses and if you want some BRAMPING then A-ETTR alone is the key am I right?

Many thanks guys!

Hi there,

I am trying to set-up a timelapse with the Silent picture mode activated and the DNG's are overexposed with at least 3-4EV. While in LiveWiew the Histogram meters correctly and the auto ETTR works just fine.

Example:

1. Take photo with AutoEttr default settings & silentpic off + 15s Interval> photos get exposed correctly & saved
2. Take photo with AutoEttr default settings & silentpic off + 15s Interval> photos get overexposed

I can read that Autoettr says next photo will be 1/100 then next 1/200 so it is trying to change shutter speed with no luck. Ultimately it says: ETTR and Expo limits reached.

I do understand that by showing the message the limits were reached, but if I use the same settings 1/500 f2.8 iso100 i get a very dark image, so it seems like it is not changing the shutter speed. By changing the aperture to F22 I was able to lower down the DNG to -1/-2 EV, but this is not a solution.

Camera model: EOS 6D with ML 2015May03.6D113

Any ideas of what it could be?

Many thanks!
