Hi, I've been having trouble getting the clean overlay and disable display off script to work on my M6 running firmware 101a. When I open to playback mode and press SET, the screen turns off with no HDMI output. I believe the camera is supposed to show the shooting mode without the focusing box. If I half/full-press the shutter or press the playback button, the camera wakes and sends me to shooting mode or playback mode. The focusing box is still present in shooting mode. I did not find anyone else online with this issue.
I've tried both the scripts from
zeerow and
srsa_4c. For the latter, I removed the firmware check. Every time I prepare the card with EOScard, I use HxD following
this tutorial to ensure that the card has been properly prepared. I am using .req and .m files with the proper scripts in each and upload them to the root of the memory card.
Other things I've tried:
- 3 different micro SD cards: 512 MB, 1 GB, and 32 GB card
- Low and non-low level card formatting on my camera and computer
- FAT and FAT32 formatting
- Changing shooting modes after the screen turns off. The screen remains off.
- Trying every shooting mode
- Saving the script.req and extend.m files with ANSI and UFT-8 encoding
- 2 different lenses: 22mm and 15-45mm
- Keeping the 15-45mm lens locked and unlocked
- Keeping the HDMI cable in and using no HDMI cable
- Running EOScard as admin
- Write protecting the card with the card's physical switch when pressing SET
- Resetting the camera settings
I also noticed that changing camera settings did not save after waking the device. For example, I would start with a shutter speed of 1/40, change that to 1/20, press the playback button, press SET, the display would turn off, wake the device with the shutter or playback button, and see that the shutter reverted back to 1/40. This happened for
every setting including settings in the menu, aperture, ISO, manual/autofocus, white balance, etc.
I apologize for the long post. What seemed like a fun project to repurpose my M6 has become a tedious task of reformatting and trying different combinations of configurations, so any advice would be appreciated.
