i think some of the modules might be calling for the old fonts file. do you have all the modules enabled? let me know, cuz i only enable dual_iso lately.

iNfEk,
i also love doing bracketing and haven't been able to go above the built canons EV range of +/- 3EV because it focuses between each shot, kinda sux that way!

does your bracketed shots with or without ML show up as B##_####? mine show up as B10, 11, 12, 13 _3### and my cameras image count is IMG_0018 as the last shot.

I use a tripod to do the bracketed shots with ML and touch the advanced bracketing option (not set)
set as EXPOSURE, 5+ frames, 1EV, Off, Off and then focus and push the shutter. as indicated it will shoot the bracketed shots but it'll focus in between. BUT as you're aware... you use the standard AEB option and it'll self timer and shoot continuously one after the other.

Use the latest zip file on http://ml.bot-fly.com/ and delete the old 3 files that should be in your root directory. do the update procedure and it should work. mine is working now with sept 23rd zip. 

I also noticed that bracketed images are labeled differently than standard images when the file are created...

for example:

Bracketed RAW files will be

Bxx_xxxx

where as my normal images are IMG_xxxx

I tried removing ML from my SD card and turning on the camera but I just keep getting a blinking green light and can't do anything with the camera. Took the battery out and put it back in and still can't do anything with the camera. Put back ML back on the card and I have to play with the battery in order for the camera to function again. weird.

idk if this has been answered or not... i apologize if it has been.

is there a reason why ML with the EOS-M doesn't expand the auto bracketed shots like the 5D2 and similar cameras that run ML? If it does... how do I get it to work in a similar fashion?

Thanks in advance!

never mind... I did find how to do it... it's slightly different.

because I found it... I think there might be a bug or a way to improve on it.

I access the menu with the sept22 build and turn the feature on for "Advanced Bracketing" then I tap the screen instead of using just the set button. this brings up the options (duh... LOL). Funny thing here is different menu options bring up their respected options with the set button sometimes or touch vs this which requires the touch of the menu to bring it up.

I set any bracketing type both exposure or DOF and set the # of frames I want (i.e. 5-9) in 1EV increments with self timer (2 second) turned on...  (0-+--++)

The camera auto focuses and then starts the self timer (for two seconds) and the first frame is taken.... usually... the second, third, forth...etc. goes after that but instead, the camera refocuses and then takes the next frame AFTER the two second self timer goes off again... so basically the self timer and focus gets redone in between each shot even though "2-second delay) and ISO shift" is turned off.

furthermore... I notice that some of the shots don't come out with different exposures but rather the same repeatedly. other times... I notice that when the number of bracketed shots are set (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...etc. all the way to 15) I don't always get that set amount of shots specified. sometimes I get less. for example. I set 9 shots and I'll get 3 or 4 sometimes with different exposures and other times with the same exposure.

idk if this has been answered or not... i apologize if it has been.

extract the zip file, copy the contents to you memory card, copy the posted .fir file to the card, update your firmware with that .fir file
oh, if your card is 64gb or greater then you need to run EOSCard i believe
check out http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install
if you can understand it, kudos

Thanks,


I got that much. However when I tried with the zip on that site most recently posted AND the .fir file that's also listed there I wasn't successful. Ill try again. I did however get it working with another file I downloaded from another place ([EOSM]FullbackADTGui.zip). Ill give this one another go.

I'm a newbie to the forum here and just received my EOS-M today. I use ML with my 5D2 and love it. My camera unfortunately came with 2.02 firmware.

I've been reading this forum and am getting quite confused.

I have tried to do the procedure that's posted a few places in different threads that indicate I need 3 files but one of those 3 files cannot be obtained through the link posted (all the same) the .fir file

due to the confusion what is the simplest way to get magic lantern to work. I really only want to take advantage of the additional AEB frames that ML allows for this camera.

Sorry if this is repetitive but reading through this entire thread I'm more confused.

http://ml.bot-fly.com found build and firmware here but when trying to load them I cannot and update procedure says extract all files for some reason?

I must be doing something wrong... please help. I love ML on my 5D2 and want to use it on my M ASAP!
