I presume it uses the liveview data to make the magic happen.... No LV, and the camera is blind..

maybe a bug:
last day i try satrianis 09.03. build and intervalometer with bulb timer doesnt working, i set bulb and bulb timer to 45 sec, and later 2 min but all shots taken with 30 sec, and the expo setting always go to 30 sec from bulb. i set again bulb, and start inervalometer and bulb timer, and the result again: 30 sec.

Did you use M?

anyone having / had same issue?

Had it a couple of times, few reboots, and it was gone.. 

The way that looks...man i just might be shooting everything with dual iso....

If that is true, inwould return it as is does not meet the standaards.

[gold Pro]

I wanted to argue with Rewind until I clicked on the links he posted.  We are saying the same card is good.  Rewind is pointing out a bad card that might confuse people if we keep giving a "all 45MB/s cards are good" as I have also done.  Apparently the gold Pro 45 MB/s is an old, poor performing card.  Unless someone has this specific gold Pro 45MB/s card and gets better data rates, which would mean the 21MB/s is from a bad example.  From the language Rewind is using, I don't think this is the case.

Please note that the red card is a class 10 card, and the gold is not.

It would be a cool feature..  for sure... a asume that it would be mostly used for macro shots, so the number of lenses is limited... If I can be of helo with my canon 100 mm macro lens... let me know!

On a side note, 650D will support proper dual iso. Say hi to as much DR as our friends at nikon :-)

Ooo  they will be so jealous... And me so happy.... 

#2. Just the canon stuff

to bad this got shot down

I think it's still very alive...

...   BULB.....   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulb_(photography)

I will give the beeps a try... thanks

Edit:

Beeps are on ( from canon menu I presume as I cant seem to find any other in ML), however I have no beeps during AB.

I have been using advanced bracketing in some not to well lit scenes. So sometimes the exposure time is +30 sec. All i can see is the red light indicating that the process is running. I wonder if it would be possible ( like in BULP mode) to show the exposure time?

Or even better, the remaining time, and e.g. shot 2/5. 

I have started an other tread about this subject here:
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7788.new#new

However as the 650 and 700D have a HDR function on the dial I wonder if this specific function could be included?

Is it possible to turn the dial to HDR and then overwrite the canon settings and enable M mode and activate advanced bracketing? And turning the dial back to e.g. M would deactivate advanced bracketing again. 

Btw. since is implemented in a module these dial settings currently aren't saved since modules don't support array config variables [yet] other than the core

So, setting bracketing on for M, and then rebooting would turn it off agian?

Did you put a .fir file on the SD card?

Marsu,

Where can I find your script? I would love to try and see if I can make it work for me... I use M mostly only for HDR, so it would be an improvement.

I see that for what I would like, a remap would be needed, and that it may cause some "bricking" Lets hope a developer finds a nice way to use the creative modes for ML.

Marsu,

For the different C modes it would look like this right?

You are in AV, and have C1, you want to witch to C2, but also want an other ML config. This seems to be difficult as there appear to be possible conflicts and stuff that may have to be reset...

For the soft toggle (bricking camera's) I understans that it may depend on the settings that were in the dial you map to that may cause problems.

So what would be the problem by not remapping a canon function but overwrite/update stuff in the "dummy" dial set?

These dummy settings only have a limited amount of settings possible so we would be able to figure out what may cause problems. If we can change the properties of these function, e.g. from .jpg to raw, from P to M. we would gain a lot of possibilities. If we could then add ML setting we are done...sort off....

It would already be nice if we could change the .jpg setting in RAW for the "dummy"dial options....

To me this seems a bit different to the other 2 (failed) options you referenced.

1%, so a module is not the best way, I take your word for it! However this would also mean that its harder to get into ML, as I see that all developers are swamped in RAW etc.

Nonetheless...

I think using the "dummy" modes for ML would be perfect.

Lets see if I understand you correctly. If you would remap movie mode to e.g. sports, switching to sports would  always switch to movie mode, even after power off and on? This looks like a feature, not a bug ( depending on what you would like to accomplish).

I think it has a lot of potential, you could use the dial to switch between normal movie and RAW movie, that would be a nice user interface improvement.

It would be nice if we could make ML presets (templates)  and map these to dial settings.

e.g.

For Macro, I would like to have:

-RAW
-focus peaking
-AV
-LV on
-Map to "dummy mode" Macro

For HDR

-RAW
-Zebra
-ML advanced bracketing on
-LV on
- map to "dummy HDR" mode

Etc etc.

Marsu,

Thank you for the insightful response..

Me coding myself is likely a no go...  I would love to learn, however i have no coding experience what so ever. I have to little spare time to learn it at the moment. However if someone would like to pick this up I would love to team up and get this to work.

What strikes me is that that for the dial i only use 3 settings... P - AV amd M...   the rest of the dial is unused. If we (the ML community) can get this to work, it would be a great user improvement. I would use it for HDR, but i would be nice if you could use the dial for personal presets.

So below i have made a more detailed setup...   please let me know if this would sill be feasible.



For my application I would like a module that would do the following:

A module with the following settings

--> If dial is set to "HDR" / "macro" / "etc"
--> set image to "raw" / "JPG" / "etc"
--> set exposure to "Manual" / "av" / "etc"
--> enable "advanced bracketing" from ML
--> enable "zebra" or any other useful setting e.g. other module like ETTR?
--> enable LV

If the camera is turned on, and modules are loaded, i would expect this:

Turn dial to HDR,
--> Raw, manual , turn on "advanced bracketing" , turn on Zebra, turn on Live view.

If I press shutter, the HDR set is shot as set in "advanced bracketing"

Turn dial to anything else, and all settings that were enabled are turned off .

So If I set the dial back to "P"
All settings are reverted to the canon settings and "advanced bracketing" is turned off.

So for HDR it would be a nice addition, and i would find it very useful.

If I understand it correctly it would be possible for e.g. the 650d and 700d to use the dial to select HDR, and then deactivating the canon settings and enabling the bracketing settings as selected in ML. That would be nice!

I do not use any of the standard canon settings on the dial, so if i could map focus stacking to the macro dial setting that would be perfect.

So how can we make this a real thing?

On e.g the 650D there is a HDR mode, however the advanced bracketing option in ML is way better, can we remap the dial function to the ML function?

I am professional cameraman at least 15 years (and you?) , and saying - you footage is rubbish... dropped frames ets)
RAW video is only for advanced color correction and grading, nothing more nothing less, not increasing quality and dynamic range that cheapest camera.
BTW - there is no way to record long, usefull, non dropped frames FullHD RAW on 650D due flash card i/o module - you just wasting you time

On some level I mus agree with you. The 650 is not the best model for RAW video. However it is possible to shoot better video in some scenes using raw and proper post. It all depens on the scene and what you do with the material in post. The stock 650D shoots good full HD video, and will be more than sufficient for most users, however playing around with these RAW options is just fun and that is not wasting time for me!.

Additional please keep in mind that this is Alpha software....  we seem to have hit a brick wall in write speed, but who knows... we may find a wat to fix that.

Please use this forum in a constructive way, if you do not like an option provided by the developers...  you don't have to use it.

Hi, sorry if it has already been mentioned but, after installing ML, is there any way of putting the camera completly back to stock? And is it still  possible to use the normal canon menu while ML is installed ?

Thank you all in advance .

This is all well documented in the wiki:
http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install

However, Yes in can be set back to stock, and yes you can ( and should? ) use the canon menu.

I am back grom my holiday, Greath to see the 1.04 progress. I  will be following This forum from next Monday again. I used ml on my travels. And I hope to share some pics ASAP.

Nice nanomad, as soon as it is in the build i Will test it asap.
