Automatic noise reduction countdown

[petersletmoe]

I am using the latest RC with my Canon 200D and it doesn't do a countdown for automatic noise reduction. Is there a setting that controls this?

Do you have in-camera noise reduction turned on

No settings, it should be automatic.

LOL... So what happens is that, for example when I am capturing 600 seconds, it will count up to 600 but then stays at 600 for the next 10 minutes while the noise reduction is ongoing. Everything else appears normal (count up, dithering, etc.)

If you go back to 3.1.16 does the countdown show up?

Correct, because the Canon SDK doesn't communicate whether LENR is enabled or not.

So BYE asks for a 600sec Exposure and at the end of that time starts waiting for the Camera to complete the Image Download; only to be left waiting while the LENR "Dark" is being Exposed for an equivalent 600sec.  Then the Image Downloads and all moves on to the next Exposure.

It gets more complicated with some of the higher-end Canon DSLR's which can/do hold the LENR Image in DIGIC Memory and apply it to 2-3 Exposures before deciding that LENR Dark is "too old" and suddenly pausing to Expose another.  (Fast, Fast, Slow, Fast...)

I was previously using 3.1.16 with my older (and now defunct) 600D, and my new 200D isn't supported in 3.1.16, so I don't have a good way to test.

Note that this isn't a huge problem, more of a curiosity.
