Fast Advanced Bracket

[Greg]

40D/50D/60D/70D/7D/5D II/5D III/6D have this function in live view.
It would be great in photo mode.

If someone has one of these cameras, you may see how it works in live view.

My friend says it's working on 5D2 (speed tweak) - https://bitbucket.org/Gr3g01/ml-hdr-all-cameras/commits/259e4a797664e228c23765e7a9a6b93dab40c19f

This is the test code needs to be fixed.

Great find. It's very similar to what I'm doing in normal HDR bracketing.

I'll take a look at the msleep, since I'm not sure whether msleep(1) is msleep(10) or NOP or something else.

[Greg]

It is much faster, but you can not get a full FPS camera (5D2).
The 500D push two times the shutter button, do quickly two pictures in the series (full FPS). 5D II does not allow this, it is lag.

Only 500D is a fast camera? lol

Hmmm, this doesn't seem to work on my 60d at all - obviously I did something wrong since alex got it to work: In lv and M mode, I enable "speed tweak" with mf & high speed continuous drive - and it shoots the set bracket very fast alright, but it's all the same picture? I tried both bracket types, DOF and Exposure... I really hope it's not yet another compiler problem over here, everything else in ml works by now :-o

Btw: The .help "Tv or DOF only!" is ambiguous - is it about Tv *bracketing* (in M and/or Av mode) or Tv *mode*?

I didn't get it to work on 60D (same problem).

Ah, ok, then I mis-read your above post which seemed to indicate you've got it working, but unreliably so.

Edit: I also tried it with the 5d2 fix from above, doesn't work either, but even has horrible side effects on the 60d.

I mean, to see how this feature works and move it to the photo mode.

The 500D code works perfectly well. The camera takes a bracketing at full speed burst mode.

Canon bracketing range prop 8000000b
1/3 EV     - val = 3
2/3EV      - val = 5
1EV         - val = 8
1 1/3EV   - val = 11
1 2/3EV   - val = 13
2EV         - val = 16
3EV         - val = 24
4EV         - val = 32
5EV         - val = 40

3EV         - val = 24
4EV         - val = 32
5EV         - val = 40

Btw there are now macros for these obscure values in lens.h, so 2EV is 2*EXPO_FULL_STOP and 1 2/3EV is EXPO_FULL_STOP+EXPO_2_3_STOP ... the camera either sets 1/2 or 1/3 stops in bracketing, exposure ec and flash ec according to c.fn I-1 (exposure level increments), you can get/set it through the set/getcfn() functions.

Can you do a mirror lockup with hdri Bracketing?
6D canon

6D canon

6D do not have ML bracketing?


The new repository, work well on a 500D. You can check the 550D and 600D.

[boogotti84]

yes 6D has ML Bracketing. but what im asking is can you do mirror lockup in ML, for bracketing hdri's?
because the mirror movement can cause images to be miss aligned very slightly with the vibration. And possibly be fast capturing?

[Greg]

Use live view and Canon silent  mode.


Someone understand this code?

Speed ​​tweak, work well on the 550D, full speed continuous mode.


Edit:
works on 500D, 550D, 600D.

Hello Greg,

I just found this thread and looked very interesting, altough I have an 100d/SL1. It seems to me, that creating good videos on 5d is the primary objective of the creators of ML, but if Rebel users could use advanced bracket not only from tripod (if I understand it correctly), that would add hugely to the value of ML even as an additional modul or an experiment. Unfortunately the links are dead, and I didn't found any more about it in this forum .
If accidentally you read this, could you think on it, please?
Thanks in advance.

[Greg]

This code only works on the 500D/550D/600D.
That was four years ago, today we should do it for all ML cameras.

But who will do it? I do not have a canon camera.
