Greetings NH,

I'm new to the world of ML too, but will add my understanding of how I've found things...

I use my 550d with ML and I use it as before ML was put on my SD cards,
whenever I wish to use a feature of ML I simply press the trash can button
and select it from there. It appears they run parallel when shooting in Manual
mode...

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Francis,

Thank you for your reply - I will check this out today. Is this how
others will likely carry out their time-lapse recording?
I was confused as I have seen stunning footage
recorded within other ML time-lapse pieces.

Thanks again,

Matt

Hi everyone,

New to the world of Magic Lantern and really looking to get into it!

I'm having some trouble at the moment - I can't find an answer by searching or days of googling, perhaps I'm not being specific enough, alas...

I want to create a time-lapse of me driving at night, complete with light streaking past my car. My settings on my camera (550D) are:

Manual, ISO 400, F4.5, 4 seconds.

I set the intervalometer to:

Take picture every 5 seconds.

Silent picture - Simple, Hi-Res = 2x1

Firstly, my shutter speed seems to be displaying at 1/25 within Magic Lantern - how come this appears to be the slowest setting? Does this mean I need to use 'Bulb Timer' setting?

And then there is the question of image quality - even at ISO 400 there shouldnt be as much grain as is possible - I can't include an image just yet, cant see how to, but will when I figure it out.

I'm hoping that this is just beginners bumps, but I'd massively appreciate if anyone can give me a hand so that I can get high quality images from the intervalometer/ silent picture features from ML.

Big love,

Matt
