takes one photo then stops why it says intervalometer stopped
why cant i do 0.5s delay for mirror lockup always on + intervalometer set to crazy pics per second?
I want to do this for astrophotography and stacking images but it just WONT WORK
it works if i change from single shot to 2s timer or remote shooting but i dont want an extra 2 seconds or 10 seconds of delay between shots cause then i cant get as many shots as fast
and im doing untracked so it wont work having a longer delay.

it also locks up my camera until i turn it off and back on. I cant go to magic lantern settings. turn off the display. or go to the menu settings nothing happens when i press the buttons

Its already off. I have standby mode off and power save off of any kind i could find.
nothing like that could be causing it I dont think. there has to be something im missing!

Crazy mode won't work well with others ML features. It doesn't work well on it's own: To stop it you may be forced to turn power off and cam may not even listen to that and you may be forced to pull the battery.

Just discovered it works fine if i set the exposure length to 1 second or longer. I'm just dumb and was testing it at 0.5 seconds because i was impatient
seems to work fine if I do a long enough exposure it doesnt struggle anymore and the 0.5 second delay works
i can finally get clear sharp photos of the stars without the mirror causing vibrations!
