Now that we have a running build environment for D45:
I would like to see overclocking frequency in bench.mo output. Along the line "Mode: <...>, Global Draw: <...>, OC frequency: <-, 160, 192, 240 MHz>

Why: It is impossible to tell right now and this info is essential IMO!

There is not that much coverage of ML project activity these days and for a reason: not much to report.
Petapixel posted some kind of retrospektive headlined "The Cameras That Helped Shape the Mirrorless Revolution" and has some words about ML's contribution.
Quote
This Mark II version set a new level of cinematic quality from DSLR. The popular camera was the first to shoot broadcast quality Full HD video, making productions adopt the camera body as a discrete, cheaper alternative. Television production famously used the camera in Episode 22 of the American medical drama House, which aired in May 2010. Previous to this, there was a smattering of production houses using the camera, including the BBC and Saturday Night Live.

This sort of leap in cinematography was only possible with the assistance of free software called Magic Lantern, which ran alongside Canon's own. All that was required was to insert the 'better' firmware on an SD card. Cinematographers could then control the H264 bitrate, record HDR video, monitor and manually control audio, and use focus assist tools. Without this perfect pairing of camera and software, we would have possibly had to wait several more years for manufacturers to build features cinematographers were crying out for. This open-source development approach shows the power of collaboration and its impact on the industry.

Since then, we've seen further development from manufacturers as the race to an 8K standard matures, but much more needs to be done regarding open-sourcing camera software to see more innovations beyond a product release.

Maybe some 550D, 60D or 600D owner may be able to do a short test.

Environment:
- Said cams (Digic 4 with SD-card slot and ExFAT support)
- Any recent ML build
- SD-card with ExFAT file system

Bug (suspect):
Modules will not load if File_man.mo is activated. No error messages.

How to reproduce:
Just activate File_man.mo in Modules tab/screen and restart cam. Modules tab will not appear anymore.

How to get it back:
Cleanup your ML cam by resetting to ML factory defaults (Prefs -> Config files/Config options -> Restore ML defaults.)

Thanks for your support!

Hi!

1st of July import tax/VAT free rule (22 Euro) will get canceled. Means: Purchasing cheap items/gear from China (mainly) will be gone for good.
At the moment you can order items up to 22 Euro (including shipping) and tariff/tax/VAT won't get applied. Effective 01.07.2021 you have to pay tariff. Period. And because shipping companies will charge you an additional handling fee (starting around 6 EU but some are not that cheap) your 20 Euro item translates into > 30 Euro putting it all together. And a 6 EU item will just become a 13 Euro purchase.
Only exception:
Tariff below 1 Euro won't get processed. Translates to: Items worth up to 5.24 Euro will not be affected. In other words: Duty-free limit drops from 22 Euro to 5.24.

Above calculations are for Germany (19% tariff). YMMV.

Hello!

Asking for feedback from users running Canon's Camera Connect App.
It may be helpful to get movie mode switch (or similiar function) back into ML.
What do I mean by that? ATM it is not possible for ML to switch from photo mode to video (and back) without using physical switches (main dial,..).
Camera Connect allows to switch back and forth by software using my 250D/SL3. And it would be helpful to get some info if this function is enabled on other cams, too. Esp. those with older Digic.

How to test:
Set cam into photo mode. Connect to app and take a pic via app. Now switch to video within app (do not use cam's dials!) and start recording. Stop recording (via app again) and switch back to photo mode (via app). Take a pic via app.
If you are able to record a video and cam take a pic test is successful completed.

List of cams to test:

[DIGIC 4+]
1300D/T5: n (confirmed by u/ThunderHashashin) Cam unable to use WiFi/NFC in video mode.


[DIGIC 5]
70D n (tested by ArcziPL)
6D y/n

[DIGIC 6] - Confirmed
750D/T6i y/n
760D/T6s y/n
80D y Confirmed

[DIGIC 7] -> Confirmed
200D/SL2 y Confirmed
800D/T7i y/n
77D y/n
6D II y

[DIGIC8] -> Confirmed
250D/SL3: y

Thanks for your support!


PS: Don't ask for a time frame to make it happen. This is just an inquiry and mode switch by ML will definitely not come into being any time soon!
PPS: For ML users it might be best to run this test without ML being active.

Purchased an M2 marked as defunct and it came as defunct! Surprise!

Press ON/OFF and after very short time green LED begins to blink fast. And doesn't stop (tested for several minutes). Pressing ON/OFF again will stop it.
Pressing Play button at startup does *not* startup camera. But opening battery compartment, pressing Play (and keeping it pressed) and closing compartment door will startup cam with blinking LED. Can be shutdown by pressing ON/OFF, too.
If procedure is repeated without battery pull cam will not startup.

I tried with/without card. I tried cards prepared for ML. With/without Portable Display Test autoexec.bin and with cards prepared for other cam types. No reaction so I assume cam's bootflag is not set.

I suppose there may be a slight chance to get some diagnostics by accessing cam's UART and that's all I can do. Right?

Hello!

I wrote a wiki containing ML specific terms often used in forum discussions. Should work as glossary for users unfamiliar with ML lingo.
Please review!
Change denglish to proper english.
Leave comments in wiki if necessary.
> this is a comment

To do: All the crop, binning, skipping, aliasing stuff + some build and firmware update infos.

[We started a discussion about forum redesign on Discord but I think Discord is not well designed for structured discussions. Therefore this post.]

I cannot stress this enough: ATM ML homepage and forum offer a bad user experience. Information is outdated, found in various places and differ in quality. (Incomplete but you get the idea).

IMO www.magiclantern.fm needs a major redo and this will not happen overnight. What we have is some flexibility in forum structure and some control about the way user access information from here.

I think we should have some form of info counter/forum where user with "standard" questions/issues/requests should be able to use a shortcut. Something related has been tried here https://magiclantern.fandom.com/wiki/New_to_Magic_Lantern%3F_Read_me_first! but didn't catch.

Could be structured as a TOC but this is open to discussion.

Some of the main topics that should/could be adressed today:
Streaming. Linked to other keywords like HDMI, USB streaming, vlogging.
Users looking for this topic will be guided/linked to a short write-up containing what ML offers: clean HDMI, lua_fix, unlimited HDMI streaming, USB streaming via EOS Utility+OBS, USB streaming via EOS Webcam and limitations (no resolution of your choice (apart from forced VGA) ... etc.). Link to lua_fix as recommended build, list of supported cams, installation instructions.
Errors and mishaps
I think of some sort of flowchart: Specify error/mishap to tell candidates for emergency department from those just having troubles to shoot some freaky RAW resolution they saw on youtube. And of course installation errors. Broken cards ...
The all dreaded owner of a 999D asking for a build
Frankly, the method "If your camera is not listed ..." doesn't work well. I suggest to have a section listing each and every EOS digital camera (+Powershots in ML realm) which is linked to a short and clear description what is going on. EOS M3, M5, M6, M10, M100 should be guided to CHDK with disclaimer we have no authority about the things happening there.
Donations Status report about why ATM only bitcoins are accepted.

Okay, you get the idea! More of a brainstorm, not complete, open to discussion.

Further things I think should be changed: A short listing which information sources are used/useable for which purpose.
Above there is a line with twitter, discord, reddit and irc.
Example: There is no hint reddit is no official communication channel and reddit mods have no interaction with ML team and - apart from around two people there - have no affiliation with ML team. And one of them gets pretty tired at times ...
Missing: Statement about inofficial facebook groups with Magic Lantern in their name.
Missing: Absence of any official youtube channel or even entries.
Add other social medias if wanted but I'm convinced we confuse people by being unclear about official channels and their use cases.

Hello!

Starting 01.01.2021 EU regulation 2019/947 is in force and life is not going to be easier by that. All drones > 250 g are affected and their pilots, too. Please make yourself familiar with new requirements and certifications/registrations according to your country. Warning: May come with a price tag ...

Germany: Es ist für Drohnen über 250 g Abfluggewicht mindestens ein Online-Test und eine *persönliche* Registrierung beim LBA notwendig. Der Test ist seit kurzem online und er ist - zur Zeit - kostenlos, was sich aber ändern soll. Man redet von 25 Euro (ohne Gewähr). Wer also ein bisschen Zeit übrig hat, kann jetzt Geld sparen und sich den Test mal geben. Oder auch mehrmals, es gibt da keine Beschränkung. Link zur Schulung und zum Test: https://lba-openuav.de/

General Chat / HDMI testing device for digital cameras?
December 09, 2020, 06:58:22 PM
Hello!

Got this one and - for the price didn't expect much. Should have read specs, I suppose. In short: It won't work with HDMI sources, camera screen blinks and device is telling me there is no HDMI device.

What I'm looking for: A device connecting to camera's HDMI output and telling me
- resolution
- interlaced or progressive
- fps
- bit depth

Optional:
YUV

Could cost a bit more but kidneys stay at home!

Forum and Website / Suggestion for "processing" new users
November 27, 2020, 09:31:37 PM
Some time ago there were serious troubles with spammer accounts. To avoid this new user posts have to be approved before becoming visible as forum posts. This has the unpleasant side effect that some posts slip under the "Recently Updated Topics" radar and have a risk of remain unanswered. Especially if they are placed in threads with some traffic by regulars. "EOS M" thread for example. Especially if said approval takes days, even weeks (yes, happened).

What about a process avoiding this: A new member will get a notification about mandatory user introduction (we have such a forum here). Notification includes a section about waiting for that post to become visible before posting in other areas.

Done, both problems adressed.

Hello!

August 12, 2026 before sunset the last leg of a total eclipse will hit the north-west part of Spain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2026

What about a meeting there and doing some magic? With or without lanterns, of course!
I think Lago Enol will give the opportunity for some great shots.
Just fill in the name in a search engine of your choice and check the views.
Lago Enol is located in the Picos de Europa (fantastic for motorbikes)  and nearby Bilbao (where to begin ... look it up, please) and León.

If there are serious concerns about the location I would really appreciate your input.

Hello!

The thing bothering me most (and I know I'm not the only one) is about missing eye contact.
Cam is mounted on top of monitor or - best currently available - in the frame itself. You have to concentrate to look into the lens but even if I'm able to do it - and I fail a lot - it just feels weird.

Q: Is there a solution for this?
Don't tell me I'm the first one asking this! Idea: Some second/third cam streaming into PC and processed by an (almost) almighty GPU doing something related to (late and lamented) light-field cam.
Result: I look into the eye displayed in the monitor during the conversation and on the other side: vice versa (sorry, lame pun).

Planned was leaving Peru on 27th of March. National emergency has other ideas about that and traveling around is not an option either.

Will do some work on a primer about handling flash memory cards to kill time.

Hello!

Is there any hard data (aka: measurements) covering power consumption/thermal management for various flash devices (SD-card, micro-SD, CFexpress; SLC, MLC, eMLC) performing write operations?

Is the doctor in?
I'm traveling with 100D (planning to come back end of March 2020) and just a few hours ago liveview went nuts.
Build in use at the time was crop_rec_4k_2018.Jul22.100D101 (by jenkins@nightly)

Changened lenses after some video shots (mlv_rec + mlv_snd), went to liveview for some stills and a bright screen was shown with ML status bars top and bottom. Brightness didn't change with aperture/exposure time/ISO. Sometimes power off won't work.
Tried resetting to ML defaults, restoring Canon settings, pressing SET at startup, running cam without card, with different builds, with different cams.
I started cam in M mode, Tv, Av and tried battery (only on with me) and external power supply.

- Most of the time screen is bright when starting LV with ML status bars. Pressing LV button switches off LV, pressing again brings back bright screen with status bars.
- With bright screen on I press Play button and last pic shows up. Pressing LV button again, screen shows last pic (normal brightness) with ML status bars. Pressing LV button again -> Canon menu as it should be. Pressing LV again: Black screen with ML status bars.

Sometimes I manage to softbrick the cam. Haven't found out why and when yet.
Looks like non-LV pics are working fine.

@alex: UTC-5 here (if it matters)

EDIT: Movie mode LV is laggy (looks like fps override) and freezes at times.
EDITEDIT: Got LV back in photo mode. Sluggish. Looks like some serious fps override. Useable, still.
3rdEDIT: in Movie tab FPS override was turned off but numbers to the right were in the 59.xxx area! Canon setting: PAL 1080@25 ... Changed to NTSC and changed 1080p modes. Numbers are back to normal.
Funny: Let cam rest in Canon menu while I wrote, switched back to LV and everything looks ok now. No lag anymore. Do I have to understand what was going on?

General Chat / South America - ML users around?
October 23, 2019, 10:41:06 PM
¡Hola!

Will get on the motobike on Monday for a 5-month trip up and down the Andes (Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentinia and whereever my bike will tell me to go). Part of the trip is getting back into photography. Somehow lost grip some time ago, unfortunately.
If there are ML users wanting to show me some places not featured in Lonely Planets I would appreciate it a lot. Interested in Urbex, architecture, landscape or just having a good time.
Drop a line via PN. English, please! Eager to learn spanish but somehow spanish and I are in a difficult relationship.

Few moments ago "Recently updated topics" looked like this:


Now it looks like this:


Given the spam induces validation period (which may take days) this will lead to new member's questions slipping under the radar and likely left unanswered.
Any reason why time frame for Recently updated topics has been changed?

If you are among those Firefox users and wondering what happened to your precious add-on collection (NoScript, Ghostery and several others): Bug in Firefox, certification issue. Official bugfix on it's way.
If you are one of those more paranoid users who disabled Mozilla's data collection option: Type about:studies as address and change your preference (top option in privacy). You will get a hotfix visible in about:studies soon after. I had to restart Firefox several times to get my add-ons back.

General Chat / Advice on Drone?
April 15, 2019, 11:49:30 PM
Hi!

I will visit South America by motorbike. 5 months, I think. I want to keep my photo gear light. Just travel tripod, 100D/SL1 and some "plastic" lenses (EF-S 10-18, EF-S 18-55, maybe an 18-135 USM). Landscape, panos, some architecture, mostly. Thinking about adding a (small) drone to this. Does not have to carry a 100D! And no intention to accompany the bike while driving. But:
- 1080p video + higher res stills, if available. RAW for stills, please!
- must do have some high altitude abilities

No experience with drones, yet. And no unlimited budget.
#39
Hello!

Created a flowchart about what is going on *before* running ML. I think it covers most what might be described as bootload stuff.
https://wiki.magiclantern.fm/_media/ml-prestartup_draft2.png

1): @a1ex: Roughly correct or not?
2): @all: Edible or unable to swallow?

And another one for a1ex: After wake-up from sleep there is another card check slowing down wake-up. What is the cam actually doing? Again checking for bootable card or just reading Autoexec.bin and other files?

EDIT: Dang! Forgot "Check if card is bootable!" New version online.
#40
Curiosity, again:
ML default option for formating memory cards is "Format card, keep ML". I suppose (IANAP) ML works like this:
Copy files Autoexec.bin and ML-SETUP.FIR and all ML dir contents (*.*) to an allocated memory space, format card using Canon's firmware routines and restore files and directory from RAM to card.
Somehow correct?
If so: Is there an upper limit for number of files that can be stored and/or is there an upper size limit for single files or all files combined? I suppose it might be somehow camera dependent. Numbers available?

I suppose if I do something stupid like storing oversized video tutorials into ML directory it will break the routine resulting in - at least - corrupted and missing files after format.
#41
https://boingboing.net/2019/02/20/alt-firmware.html content found at O'Reilly (couldn't find anything there).
Boy, they managed to get most of it wrong!
1) ML does not replace Canon's OS. It runs along with it and Canon menus and actions are accessible, too.
2) It runs not only from SD but all flash cards you can insert (apart from SD-to-CF adapters which are crap and not supported)
3) The audio options described are for Digic 4 cams only (minus 50D, 1100D)
4) Oh, they actually got something right ... white-balance, exposure presets, overlays and open source.

Wait, haven't we been here before? Déjà-vu big time ...

Apart from this ... Anyone attracted by BoingBoing, please read before asking:
- No, ML does not run on recent Canon cams running Digic 6, 7 or 8 processors
- No, we can't say when it's ready. We have no clue, no release date or schedule to follow.
- Yes, we know you want it! So do we: Supporting not by offering money (we will ask if necessary) but by offering your coding skills (optimum: C and assembler for embedded devices, preferable ARM architecture), your time for testing code and nightly builds and experimental builds. Or go through our rather rudimental camera help proposal for errors and enhancements (link in signature).

#42
Manually created Config Presets will appear in order of folders time-stamp.
I suggest to change order based on leading character according to alphabet.

In its present state handling of such entries is counterintuitive.
#43
Years ago there was a major redo in LiveView leading to a design with as few distractions as possible. Transistion from rather colourful status bars to black-and-white.

According to this design guideline I suggest to change "RAW" from green to white. I see no purpose keeping it in that colour.




#44
I need confirmation for a strange bug in Expo. Override function. No hazard involved.
You need an rather old-fashioned lens like 50/1.8 I or II, EF 100/2.8 Macro and a newer one. Any STM should do and so does EF 100/2.8 L IS Macro. Don't know about other lenses fitting the scheme.
Any more recent nightly build would do fine and it doesn't matter if Digic 4 or Digic 5 cam involved.

Steps to reproduce:

- Preparation: Restore ML defaults (you may backup your ML/Settings dir to restore custom settings after test) and shutdown cam. Set lens to MF.

1) Testing "old" lens
- Remove battery, insert battery and powerup cam in photo mode.
- In Canon's QC menu set aperture to lowest number (wide open).
- Open ML menu and access Expo tab. Turn off ExpSim and turn Expo. Override ON.
- Enter LiveView. You may change shutter and ISO to get a proper view in LV. Do NOT change aperture! If you have accidently changed aperture -> Begin from 1) again.
- Press Trashcan button to access ML menu
- Highlight "Aperture" menu item and press set -> You are in Liveview again and "Aperture" menu item is visible in LV.
- Now turn top wheel one notch contra-clockwise. You should see number in "Aperture" changing to highest number available for this lens. And screen goes dark immediately after turning wheel.
- Check aperture blades. They should be properly adjusted to chosen aperture. (If unsure: Leave LV and use DOF preview button to compare).

(You can play around with top wheel if you want. Should do fine. Report if not!)

- Restore ML defaults, shutdown cam and remove battery.

2) Test "new" lens designs.
- Mount lens and insert battery.
- In Canon's QC menu set aperture to lowest number (wide open).
- Open ML menu and access Expo tab. Turn off ExpSim and turn Expo. Override ON.
- Enter LiveView. You may change shutter and ISO to get a proper view in LV. Do NOT change aperture! If you have accidently changed aperture -> Begin from 2 again.
- Press Trashcan button to access ML menu
- Highlight "Aperture" menu item and press set -> You are in Liveview again and "Aperture" menu item is visible in LV.
- Now turn top wheel one notch contra-clockwise. You should see number in "Aperture" changing to highest number available for this lens.

- Now things won't work the way you expect. I think you may see some laggish response or even none after turning the wheel. Try turning wheel until screen goes darker. Maybe you have to force it by half-pressing shutter button (not sure about this one).
After screen goes darker check aperture blades position. You may observe they are not as closed as they should be! You may cross check leaving liveview and using DOF preview button.

Please report back with
- cam used
- lenses used

And don't forget to remove your battery after 2) completed. Menu may behave strange, too. And camera shutdown by power  button is only optional, I suppose. ;-)

Thanks for your time!
#45
Only way to change number is incrementing/decrementing by button press or wheel. Would be appreciated if working like "Stop after" where you can select and change each digit.
#46
At the moment there are two modules (pic_view, mlv_play) adding features into file manager. And not able to do much without.*
What is the developers pick on that?
Does it make sense to merge these functions into file manager or do you prefer to keep them seperate for easier development (or other reasons I'm not aware of)?

*MLV_Play enables playback of last record from RAW menu *without* file manager.
#47
Steps to reproduce:
Start photo mode with ML defaults.
Take a pic.
Switch cam to bulb mode.
Open ML menu. Go to Shoot screen -> Bulb mode -> Q
Set Exposure duration to 40 seconds
Set Display during exposure to Show previous pic
Leave menu by half-shutter press.
Press half-shutter for > 1 seconds. Cam should make a beep and beginn to take a pic.

Expected result (with bug):
- Screen turns dark (no pic shown) and remaining time counts down. (Upper left area).

After bulb mode terminated you will see the pic in review.

Now take a second pic in bulb mode. Expected result (with bug):
- Screen turns dark (no pic shown) and remaining time does not show up at all.


Please test (owners of other D4 cams as well) and report back!

EDIT: Found time to downgrade to 2.0.3 and build #3 (2013Dec22). Did not work either. Third shot with option Show previous pic: No countdown line written. And clock (counting up exposure time, showing lower right corner) doesn't show up at all. Missing pic, too.
More to debug:
Option "Display during exposure Don't change" doesn't show any message. 650D shows clock incrementing.
Awaiting reports from other D4 owners before opening Bitbucket issue.


650D, option "Display during exposure Don't change"
#48
Not sure if here or Tutorials and Creative Uses is the right place to ask.

Came up with an idea for future tutorials. I think users might want to have some kind of reference for the things written to Quick Control screen by ML. Could be in written/non-interactive form with pics like this (incomplete):

or interactive for electronic devices (no example here).

Question 1: I looked into source code trying to find out which features are interacting with Quick Control. But I suck as a programmer and couldn't make sense out of it. Is there a list of features writing to QC screen?

Question 2: There a some differences in QC screen between my 650D (Digic 5) and 7D (Digic4).
QC 7D

Examples:            7D        650D
Battery level:       yellow    none
MLU:                   yellow    white
Adv. Bracket         none     white
intermediate ISO  alligned not alligned/artifacts
Date                    none     white

No lens info, no build info displayed in 7D's screen.
May a developer drop a word about those differences? Has to work this way because of Canon or something lost/gained in transistion? I kind of like ML's interaction highlighted. Personal issue, of course.

And another one:
AFAIK option "LCDsensor Remote" is the only one where menu icon changes this way. I think it is redundant and should be dropped to maintain user interface standard.





#49
As discussed in https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3511.msg18078#msg18078
"Steady hands" feature outside liveview is unreliable.

Request: Force cam into liveview if enabled. It should work the same way "Expo. Change" and "Frame diff." do: Press half-shutter and liveview it is.
#50
There are 2 menu items in Shoot -> Shoot preferences: "Post scripts" and "Intervalometer Script".
Post scripts are optional used/generated by Adv. Bracketing and Focus stacking.
Intervalometer Script solely by "Intervalometer".

Q: Is it possible to move these items where they are used?
- Create double menu entry "Post scripts" in "Focus" -> Focus Stacking" and "Shoot -> Adv. Bracketing". Yes, same function, 2 menu entries.
- Menu item "Intervalometer script" moved to "Shoot -> Intervalometer". I think renaming to something like "Helper script" should be done because it is obvious we're in Intervalometer.

EDIT: I have no problems with "global" settings "Snap Simulation" and "Pics at once" placed in "Shoot Preferences". I just don't like features linked to specific options here (even if they affect 2 or more features). Makes no sense for me to leave menu for a feature (Intervalometer, Focus Stacking, Adv. Bracketing ... to name some) and move here to a) make sure I have the proper setting and b) to adjust it to my need.
And yes, if you're suspecting I'm gonna ask for "Use Autofocus" to be moved/spread, too.
