Did you solve the overheating/turning off issue? I also use an old canon dlsr (t2i), and I worked around it with a script triggered by half-pressing the shutter button. I have a whole ritual I have to do when powering on the camera (magic lantern settings, clear overlays, exit settings, half-press shutter button), but then it stays on forever.

I did not - I’ll give more detail in the next post, but ultimately decided to build a new camera built around the Raspberry Pi high quality camera. It has a 12MP Sony sensor that’s much more capable than the one in my Rebel T1i, and although I bought a Canon adapter ring, I eventually chose to use the stock Telephoto lens available for the HQ camera kit.
