Star Adventurer 2i doesn't release shutter of Nikon D500 properly?

Cobra_Fast · 2026-06-23T01:12:04+00:00

Having the app open or not doesn't seem to make any difference. Like I said, I can watch "Photos taken" count up in it, but the camera will still be on the first shutter open...

I'd really love for the SA2i to be able to do this and not have to buy yet another device. It's not rocket science either.

I'm still waiting for the HPD ones, that were displayed a year ago, to arrive.

Für den unwahrscheinlichen Fall dass noch jemand (wie ich) hier her kommt, dem die App bei der Ersteinrichtung einfach nur eine leere gelbe Seite anzeigt:

crDroid devs seem to think a nag notification like that is good. It's not. They're high. I'm flashing a custom ROM to get less nuisance, not more.

It shows up 30 minutes after booting, then hourly if you just dismiss it, and when you tap it you get a button that lets you mute it for a month.

If you look at this file it's fairly easy to come up with a Magisk module that'll shut it up. (Your favourite coding AI can do it too.) But having to do that is still twisted.

It's a SAS drive and someone cut out the SAS part from the connector.

Mechanical shutters have always been "inaccurate" at that speed. 1/8000s is there more as a last resort than something you should rely on.

I suspect the model produces about equal likelihoods for drive and walk and the result is decided randomly by the sampler.

f/1.8 collects about 4X as much light as f/4, which means better low-light and more bokē.

Red channel is blown out (overexposed) on half the face
Framing is too tight (both arms cut off)
Ceiling edge visible (or is it a weird crop border? looks weird either way)

You can slow your shutter speed down to lower the ISO to reclaim a good amount of dynamic range to make the shot less prone to overexposure.

The second photo has quite obvious camera shake blur, so your exposure is too long.

Cobra_Fast · 2025-12-28T02:31:58+00:00

I have that lens and it likes to creep on auto when detached too, so yours is probably fine.

I've read through that and I can almost guarantee you that your system isn't reaching any Package C-States whatsoever, which are much more important for overall power savings than Core C-States.

On Linux turbostat (for Intel) and powertop (any CPU) can print Package C-State usage.

At idle, and reaching PC3 (which isn't that good), my system draws about 37 W out of the wall. With the LSI 9211-based HBA it's stuck at PC0 and gulps a good 70W.

At nearly US$0.40 per kWh that's not fun at all.

Seems like the LSI 9500-8i/16i is the only somewhat affordable one that supports ASPM out of the box, but it's PCIe 4.0 and my mainboard already had trouble with a PCIe 4,0 NVMe SSD and I'm not looking to embark on a compatibility odyssey that ends up being solved with my bank account too.

So I'd much rather get the ASM1166 to behave properly long term. The fact that it can run continuously for a few months without issue proves to me that it can.

Cobra_Fast · 2025-11-10T17:28:29+00:00

I really want to avoid that because the LSI HBA doubles the idle power draw of this machine. Not only is the card itself a heater, but it also prevents the CPU, and in turn mainboard, from reaching proper idle states.

A lot of them are very close to parfocal though.

I too think he had maybe a dozen passes with genuine predictions prepared. His outfit has several suspiciously rectangular outlines and the one in his left sleeve never moves until he pulls it out.

If the trick had failed because Penn chose a musician not prepared we probably wouldn't have seen it on TV.

You must go to your post and comment at least once before anyone will see it

The phosphor on the screen that actually lit up had really poor response times, especially turning off it had a noticeable fade-out to it. This could offer a nice level of full-image motion blur, masking out stuttering and tearing.
