Hi There
Any news about this issue? I have experimented the same problem. I’m working with 2.4.2.11 and a Canon 6D.
Thanks in advance
Enrique
We do not have a 6D for testing… we will work on this. We did update the Canon SDK in the 2.4.3.10 Beta to the latest version. It may be worth trying to see if it makes any difference.
Hi Ken
Thanks for your answer. I’ve tried but with no results. I’m running SGP beta 2.4.3.10, win7pro, .NET 4.5 with a 6DT modified by Hutech.
Hi Guys,
Mirror lock up does not work with my 60D either as per alexch initial note. Everything else is great. I am running version 2.4.2.11.
Anything I should check.
Regards
Scott
Possibly the latest beta. It uses the latest EDSDK.
Hello alexch, hello 6D users,
merry chrismas!
I have the same issue with my 6D as you mentioned. No working image capturing, no live view in SGP, mirror lookup setting does not change this behavour. Is there a final solution?
My Canon 600D work with SGP without any problems and both cameras (6D and 600D) work with APT Tool on the same computer.
Should I provide a log?
Thomas
No log is required. We have taken the first step (actually purchasing one). Hopefully we will be able to provide a fix for 6D issues in the near future.

Oops. Sorry I cannot borrow mine, I live in germany.
Good luck.
It’s almost 2 months since the last update here. Has there been any progress? Did you get a 6D? I don’t think either the lock-up or live view problems are fatal flaws, but a fairly major inconvenience.
Thanks,
Greg
Yes, we have a 6D. Unfortunately we haven’t had time to look into this as there have been other things going on that are higher priority.
Also I find the 2 month remark somewhat funny. We typically have a resolution time of days but unfortunately not everything can be that fast. Even at 2 months I still think we’re beating others that have a multi year time to release. Part of me wonders if we’re too fast to resolve issues and have created this expectation.
Please don’t look too much into these remarks, I honestly mean nothing by them. I do realize that these issues are annoying and that you just want them resolved. I have looked into the issues with the 6D but ran into other problems with the canon sdk and didn’t make it far. I hope to resolve them soon, but I don’t have an ETA.
Thanks

2.5.0.0 beta fixed the issue on my Canon 60D. Perhaps it also fixed the 6D?
Some improvements were certainly made in 2.5. Is live view and mirror lock working for you?

I just tried 2.5 with my 6D. Mirror lock-up seems to be working. Live view behavior is different, but still not working. As was reported by someone else, when I click “Start” in Frame & Focus it raises the mirror, opens the shutter, and starts a download. But the download never completes. While in this state, pressing the Start/Stop button on the camera turns on the display on the camera, so it really is in live view mode, but the image never gets to the computer.

I had the same experience with the 2.4… release I downloaded a month ago to trail with my 550D. It would only take 1 sec exposures if I set the camera settle to anything other than “0” (with Mup and Bulb set on camera). I recently downloaded the 2.5…11 beta and tried it again, and it still fails to take the correct exposure with camera settle set to >0.
Larry
What exposure length are you attempting to take? I had thought that issue was resolved. If you’re attempting to take very short exposures (less than a second) I could see this being an issue as mirror lock uses bulb mode to activate the shutter which is less precise than using the internal shutter timer in the camera.
Jared
180-200sec exposures. Last night was my first experience with 2.5.11 and I tested it first with a couple of 180sec exposures without shutter delay and everything worked perfectly. I added the shutter delay, and I got the 1 sec exposure. Returned shutter delay to “0” and it worked perfectly again.
I will try again tonight and double check the camera settings, and download the actual output and confirm actual duration in LR (as I did when using the 2.4… build.)
Larry
Ok, I misunderstood. There was previously an issue where the mirror up time was subtracted from the frame time. So if you had a 5 second mirror settle and 8 second exposure you’d only get a 3 second exposure.
I’ll try and look into these 6D issues this weekend.
Thanks,
Jared
Jared,
I tested it again last night after confirming the camera was set to enable Mup and on Bulb. A 10 sec exposure with no shutter delay worked perfectly and Lightroom reports is as a 10 sec exposure. I changed shutter delay to 3 seconds and tried it again and got a 1 sec exposure, confirmed in LR.
Canon 550D and 2.5…11 beta.
Larry
This has been addressed and will be out in the next beta of 2.5. For cameras that have a bulb mode you must be in bulb mode for the mirror lock to work.
I tested against my 6D and 60D, both were successful but this hasn’t been tested against any other canon cameras. it does have the potential to break the mirror lock functionality on other canons. I’ll be looking forward to hearing how this works with others.
Thanks,
Jared
I just tried SGP for the first time with my Canon 6D and have the same issue with mirror lock up and live view. I cant get an image to show up.
