short: no 

Short thanks

Don't see it mentioned in the thread, if it was then my bad... When I'm playing video files on the camera itself, I dial down the volume bar (displayed on the screen) and set it to zero but I can still hear recorded audio. I can increase the volume but not completely mute it when using ML.

without ML this doesnt appear?

Correct, without ML I can mute the sound completely.

Ok, I can confirm this. Without ML, sound can be dialled to zero, with ML, sound is always present and while the dial does change the volume, it won't go to quiet.

so we have another issue that should get fixed before i release next alpha.

[StefanKeller.AC]

I think such small, known issues are not a Problem for a new alpha, please release it

Although i also eagerly awaits the next alpha version, i think it's better to solve the issues found in one alpha version before releasing the next.

I completely agree.

I contacted IDA PRO about donating a copy of there software for the cause and they let me know that they had already been
contacted by someone from within the camp and they had offered the software at a discount. I hope you guys got it and can continue on the 7D quest. I thank you so much for your efforts, you are what makes the world a nice place........

I agree too.  Systematic development workflow = reliable software.

Thanks again dev's for all your hard work.

The brain tell me you are right,  but my heart is hungry

hi,

yes i talked to them and they agreed to give us IDA Starter Named editions (IDASTAN).
we already planned the licenses we would buy and today we will start ordering.
but i dont know about any special discount?
i was told we only get the normal discounts that all users get (see https://www.hex-rays.com/cgi-bin/quote.cgi)

anyway. we will see if they add some special discount


about alpha 2:
yes, i will tra to find some workaround. but dont expect this being done in the next days.
it looks like triggering the camera to shoot a photo causes the shutdown bug.
no matter what i do, i cannot fix that now. still investigating.

May be as Christmas present  ?

[g3gg0]

christmas 2013?

[SonicScot]

christmas 2013?

don't do that to us, please 

[g3gg0]

too early?

[SonicScot]

too early?

Yeah, leave it till 2014 or better still, 2015 

[g3gg0]

in the meantime you yould help me with nailing down the problem.
inerested?

if yes:
- remove your CF card
- select M mode
- enable info screen on camera by pressing INFO
- connect camera to Windows PC
- switch camera on
- start EOS Utility
- enter "Remote shooting"
- set exposure time to 2"
- shoot image using EOS Utility
- do not poweroff/close anything - just open card door
=> does the camera shut down immediately? (also check for USB device disconnecting)

if yes:
- i am confused

if not:
- thats the same bug and same effect i see when shooting images using trap, bracketing, intervalometer etc.
- can you find out if it is exposure time dependent? (it is on my cam)
- what is the limit?
- does it happen in all modes with that exposure times?
- i reset my camera settings, didnt help. maybe playing with some features tells us what causes that behavior?
- maybe its related to some settings (tried e.g. JPEG/RAW)


provide as much details as you can find out.
the more details we find, the better are the chances to fix that canon firmware bug

[SonicScot]

Quick check reveals the camera will only power off ( and disconnect from computer) when the shutter speed is 1 second or faster.
1.3 seconds and slower than that, the camera will not power off.


I'll try other combinations tomorrow, time for bed. 

[inky38]

ok slightly confusing instructions.

I'm assuming we're taking ML out of the equation for these tests.

My experience is as follows

After remotely taking photos at various shutter speeds and then opening the door, powers down the camera and disconnects it from the pc. 

After closing the door it powers up again and reconnects

In fact opening the door up at any point with the dial in any position powers down the camera disconnects it from the pc

[edit]
After  changing my Auto Power Off setting from 1 min to off, I now get a completely different behaviour.  My camera no longer disconnects from the pc until it is physically switched off.

Putting it back to 1 min hasn't reverted it back either.  It stays connected
