General Help Q&A / EOS 6D stops shooting & dumps error-log

« on: February 28, 2021, 05:31:13 PM »

Hi!
I use my 6D for astro imaging with the help of the intervalometer of magiclantern-lua_fix.2019Mar20.6D116 .
Several times during the last weeks, the camera stopped shooting without obvious reason. This happend after some tens to some hundreds of images taken. After pressing half-shoot the cam woke up again and continued shooting.
Log-files were dumped upon those accidential breaks. I checked these, but I couldn't identify any error.
The last 30 lines always look like these:

Camera Emergency Department / Replace main PCB of 1100D: How to flash ROMx.bin to new board?

« on: November 01, 2019, 04:03:21 PM »

Hello all.
I've got a (used) main PCB as a replacment for my 1100D. The original mainboard is close to dead, I fear: I need to remove the battery for more than an hour before I can power it up again. But I was able to get Rom0.bin and Rom1.bin from it and would like to flash these to the replacment PCB in order to get the calibration data to it.
Is there a way to achieve this (for a non-developer)?

General Help Q&A / Dead time with intervalometer and bulb timer

« on: February 18, 2017, 06:22:26 PM »

Hi,
I use the ML intervalometer for astro-imaging. Typically, I take 60 sec subs in bulb mode and get an image every 63 seconds. The additional 3 seconds per image I attributed to the storage of the raws and perhaps some lazyness of the intervalometer.
But recently I astro-modded a 1100D (filter & mirror removal, cooling). Thereby I also replaced the shutter by an emulator and did some tests with short exposures. When I came to exposure times below one second I left the bulb mode and selected the exposure time directly. And suddenly, the time loss of 3 seconds was reduced to half a second per image!
Is this a know effect, and if so: where does it comes from?
