 + 
 +Increases dynamic range by sampling the sensor at two different ISOs, switching ISO for every other line pair. This trick cleans up shadow noise, resulting in a dynamic range improvement of around 3 stops, at the cost of reduced vertical resolution, increased aliasing and moire in the highlights and shadows. 
 + 
 +Works for both raw photos (CR2) and raw videos (DNG). You need to postprocess these files with a tool called cr2hdr. 
 +> To do: List other postprocessing tools 
 + 
 +After postprocessing, you will get a DNG that looks like a dark ISO 100 shot, but you can bring the exposure back up and be delighted by how little noise is present in those recovered shadows. 
 + 
 + 
 +Quick start 
 +  *Start at ISO 100 in Canon menu 
 +  *Expose to the right by changing shutter and aperture 
 +  *If the image is still dark, enable dual ISO 
 +  *Adjust recovery ISO: higher values = cleaner shadows, but more artifacts 
 +  *Try not to go past ISO 1600; you will not see any major improvements, but you will get more interpolation artifacts and hot pixels. 
 + 
 + 
 +Tips and tricks 
 +  *Do not use dual ISO for regular scenes that don't require a very high dynamic range. 
 +  *Raw zebras are aware of dual ISO: weak zebras are displayed where only the high ISO is overexposed, strong (solid) zebras are displayed where both ISOs are overexposed. 
 +  *Raw histogram will display only the low-ISO half of the image (since the high-ISO data is used for cleaning up shadow noise). 
 +  *For optimal exposure (minimal noise without clipped highlights), try both dual ISO and ETTR. 
 +  *Do not be afraid of less aggressive settings like 100/400. They are almost as good as 100/1600 regarding shadow noise, but with much less aliasing artifacts where only one of the chosen ISO's captures usable signal. 
 +  *Be careful with long exposures, you may get lots of hot pixels.

 +Advanced ramping and exposure control for the intervalometer 
 +Forum:
 +http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8431.0 
 +
 +Create keyframes from current camera settings and specify the frame at which the keyframe is applied. You will select which parameters you would like to set in the keyframe and which you would like to ignore. The module ramps (linearly) the vaules of selected parameters from one keyframe to the next while the intervalometer is running.
 +
 +Usage
 +
 +You should create an initial keyframe at 1, that has the settings you are going to start with, that way the module knows what to ramp from. If you don't do this the module won't ramp to your first keyframe, it will simply set the values when it gets there (it doesn't know how to calculate the ramp, b/c it doesn't know what the values started as).
 +
 +Exposure ramping
 +
 +To ramp basic expo controls (Av, Tv, ISO) set them like normal in the canon GUI as if you were taking a picture, then go into the ML menu under 'Shoot' -> 'Intervalometer' -> 'Ramping Options' -> 'New Keyframe' and create a new keyframe. Turn on or off to specify which parameters are to be included in the keyframe. The current values are displayed on the right for you, but you cannot change them from here.
 +
 +Focus ramping
 +
 +For Focus you do specify the offset to focus to from the 'New Keyframe' menu. The module will calculate the number of focus steps it need to take each frame to arrive at your offset that you specify. It steps from wherever the lens is focused at the start. Negative values mean focus closer, positve is towards infinity. You need to be in LiveView for the focusing to work and make sure there is enough time after the exposure is taken, before the next one starts for the focusing to take place (I recommend at least 2s, maybe more depending on camera and lens)
 +
 +Misc notes
 +
 +You can ramp the intervalometer period as well, this you also specify from within the new keyframe menu
 +Once you have created keyframes you can view them with the 'List Keyframes' menu. You can also save your keyframe sequence to file, and then reload them later. If not saved, any keyframes you created will be lost when the camera is turned off. Keyframes are saved and loaded from a file called "SEQ.TXT" in the ML/SETTINGS directory.
 +When you have created keyframes and are ready to begin, make sure the advanced intervalometer is turned on, then turn the intervalometer on as usual from the ML Shoot menu.
 +
 +AutoETTR compatibility
 +
 +This module is compatible with AutoETTR so long as you don't try to ramp the parameters that AutoETTR is trying to change. You can ramp Av and let AutoETTR take care of Tv and ISO, or you can ramp Av and Tv and let AuttoETTR only set ISO, or put AutoETTR to link to Canon shutter (then your Tv will basically be setting the slowest Tv parameter of AutoETTR)

 +Step-by-step:

 +and press Set to zero it out. Pick the start point by focusing on it
 +with the LEFT/RIGHT buttons while the Focus menu is active. Make sure
 +the number from Focus End Point is changing as you focus. Fine-tune the
 +position with scrollwheel. Go to Rack Focus and press SET or PLAY to
 +start rack focus. To return to the starting point, run rack focus again.
 +Tip: when LCDsensor Remote is set on Near or Away, you can trigger rack
 +focus from the LCD sensor, avoiding camera shake.
