I just noticed in post #248 you managed to up a new autoexec file that fixed the bug for jupiter55. I tried that autoexec on the latest bootloading version but i just get flashing sd light and have to pull the battery to reset.

Just had a thought. I never noticed the 18-55 efm shutter bug when i was loading the firmware via FW menu. Before the bootloading version. Perhaps there is something during bootloading that is causing the problem.

1% Is it just you working on this version of ML?

where can i get the updated modules, im getting v2.0 expected v3.0
ETTR.MO
FILE_MAN.MO
PIC_VIEW.MO
RAW_REC.MO

that sounds like a lot of work. shame the logs we posted cant narrow it down a little.

ive just tried it with everything off including modules and with just the modules loaded and its still not activating the shutter.

lens is fine without ML, ive not tried disabling components one at a time though. Ill try it now.

bummer, its a pita to use that lens having to powercycle just to get shots. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks for all your help 1%

Edit:

I was hoping that the log would show the difference between the shutter not activating and activating when using the cycle/remove lens trick too.

@1%

Were those logs any use for the 18-55 shutter bug?


Thanks

hopefully 1% can figure it out

I couldn't find any pics being taken in the log. You can't power down while logging or it will stop going I think.

@1%

try these two logs

No shutter activation
With shutter activation after quick restart

Hope these help

I tried taking three shots from powering it on with the shutter not activating because of the bug but then powered off and back on before the light flashes. (If the light flashes after powering off, when powering it up the bug persists) I then took three more shots, this time it worked and took pictures. I then went into the ML menu and hit DL to stop the log....

Wait, i just realised, yeah, it may have stopped the log on the powerdown. Ill do two logs. One powered up with the camera not taking shots. then ill do the restart trick, start another log and take shots with it working and paste both logs here. Perhaps cross refrencing them will help that way. Give me two minutes.

Thank you Nick! That worked great except from one link, the Magic Lantern zip does not work, it needs the EOSM1202.FIR file, your link does not have it.

I used this one instead. All worked great!

Another question, whats que Q button on the M? I cant seem to find it to set the settings on the intervalometer module.

Thanks!

highlight it and touch the screen to bring up the second menu

how can i update to version 2? sorry guys newbie here ^_^ tnx

is ML in ver2.0.2 1005 bug free now? and 100% working?

Grab the 2.02 fw from canon, pop it in the root of a SD card and go to FW in menu and update.

ML is still in Alpha. Its still buggy. Its not ready for main stream release as its still being worked on and so is installed at your own risk.

Hope this helps.

Can you post a guide? I´m just worried about the lens focus issue with the 18-55 lens and firmware 2.02

What focus issue?
If you are referring to the shutter bug, i think it only effects the 18-55 ef-m but if you turn the camera on then power off and back on within 2 seconds its fine. Basically, when you first power on the shutter wont activate but doing the quick power cycle it fixes it.
Ive posted a new log for 1% to see if anything can be cross referenced from the before and after powercycle. Cross your fingers.

IMHO bootloaded ML on 2.02 is fantastic, focus peaking is an absolute godsend and i dont know why canon didnt include this as part of the stock FW. Also having the ability to up the bitrate on video capture as well as being able to use one picture style for photos and it auto change to another for video is brilliant!

edit:

upped to mega

UpDaterM.fir (392 KB)

Bump again for this... there is no way for us to install ML without it. That site seems to have bit the dust.

which file is it? ill put a link up to it for a few days from my server until its updated

Ive made a new DM.LOG for you to have a look at to see if you can see anything that may help with the shutter bug with the 18-55mm efm lens.

I started the log, powered off the camera for 10 seconds, powered up, activated the shutter three times, powered off and back on again within 2 seconds, activate the shutter three more times this time with it actually taking shots and powered down. Hopefully it might indicate where the problem is.

DM.LOG

Hope it helps

I just tried it and it works now. But how can we avoid this? what is happening when we do this lens off and on with the camera powered on?
BTW, I am back one version of ML. The one "without" the headphone tab top left.

gary

So with your camera off you powered it up, then connected the lens and then you could shoot. What happens when you power off then back on again? Does the shutter activate still or do you have take the lens off and put it back on to get it to work? If so then id rather just power off and back on within a second to be able to use this lens for now until a fix is found.

I too had the no shutter issue with the 18-55, but may have a fix. I uninstalled ML with the lens on and fired the shutter with no ML installed but still on the card. Then installed ML with that lens on the camera. The shutter worked. I switched lenses, shutter worked. Put the 18-55 M back on, still worked.

Try that and see if it helps.

This didnt work for me.

Do any other IS lenses have similar issues? I have nothing with IS to check.


Here is a bin that doesn't use the malloc memory area, still the same?

Yeah still no shutter activation using 18-55

Can this be fixed do you think? Would a complete removal, format and reinstall cure this?

Thanks 1%

Post a DM log of it not working, try to take a pic several times while logging it.


Modules are opt-in now.

@1% hope this helps sort the shutter bug

Great work on this guys. ML is amazing. However, is there a fix for the 18-55 ef-m lens shutter bug, its a pita having to keep turning the camera on and off just to get a shot, i even missed a few because of it. Im running the latest firmware with the bootloading ML if that helps.

Thanks.
