1100d Dark frame automatic (blocked shutter)

[danielmaho]

Hello, and sorry for my English!

Is it be possible to have a feature that would hinder to move the shutter to make dark frame.
For example alternatively after a number of picture.
x normal photos - drakframe 1 - x normal photos - 1 darkframe - .... etc.
It would be convenient for astro-photographers.

Thank you for your work!

Yes it is possible! call 'FA_CaptureTestImage' when not in LV (shutter closed). Same function used for this: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12523.0 See modules/silent/silent.c for more information on how to use 'FA_CaptureTestImage' and save the resulting buffer.
