Magic Lantern Installation & Updating Guide
Canon EOS 550D/Rebel T2i/Kiss X4
1.0.9

This tutorial is based off my memory of the first time I installed ML (and how I put ML on any new card).
The original tutorial I followed can be found here: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install

--Quick-Links

--What's HOT!

--Before We Begin (Important Notes)

Please read!! (If you don't read this and you come back later saying your camera won't turn on, then ...)


--Updating Canons Firmware

If your 550Ds firmware version is not 1.0.9 you will need to update it (this has nothing to do with the Magic Lantern firmware version, this is the Canon firmware).

Checking the version:
Put your camera in "M" and switch it on (or switch it on first then put it to M, either way).
Press the "menu" button on your camera (top left).
Press the left arrow until you come to the 2nd last menu, this should be a spanner looking item with 3 dots.
The bottom label should say "Firmware Ver." followed by some numbers.
If your numbers are anything but "1.0.9" you will need to upgrade (or downgrade) to 1.0.9.
(A downgrade would not be necessary as of yet as there is no newer firmware released by Canon).

Updating the firmware: (if your firmware is not 1.0.9)
Canon provides a tutorial for this. Go to:
http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eosdigital7/firmware.html (http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eosdigital7/firmware.html)
and follow the instructions.
If you can't access the link (if it is region blocked or similar) go to google (http://www.duckduckgo.com) and search "Canon 550D firmware" and look for a link that comes from a .canon. site.

When you're updated to 1.0.9 you can continue to the next step.

--The First Install (first-time installation - for a camera that has never had ML on it)

This process should only be performed once (for each camera, if you have used ML before on the camera you are using then jump below to "The Second Install".).
The original tutorial can be found here: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install

(http://a1ex.magiclantern.fm/bleeding-edge/new-installer.png)

Installation:
Format the card from the camera.
Make sure you are running Canon firmware 1.0.9.
Copy ML files on the card and run Firmware Update.
After installation, copy your ROM files (ML/LOGS on the card) to a safe place.

--The Second Install (installing Magic Lantern on other cards - for a camera that has run ML before)

Card Set-Up:
Get your new (or old) SD card and insert it into your camera.
Format the card in camera using a low level format (this will erase all content on the SD card).
Download EOSCard (windows/mac) or make_bootable.sh (linux). [links above]
... (brb)...

--Updating Magic Lantern (getting the latest features and fixes - for a camera that is running ML)

Updating ML is a simple process.
First go to builds.magiclantern.fm (http://builds.magiclantern.fm/#/) and download the latest build by clicking on the drop-down box and selecting "550D.109".
Turn your camera off, take out the SD card, and insert it into your computers SD card reader.
Delete the "autoexec.bin" file and the "ML" folder off of the SD card.
Now all you have to do is copy the new "autoexec.bin" file and the "ML" folder from your download across to the card, overwriting the old files.
(The download comes in a .zip folder, these can usually just be opened normally, otherwise you may have to 'extract' the files, this is usually done simply by right clicking and selecting extract.)
Put the card back in the camera and turn it on.

If a feature you previously used in ML is not functioning as normal, either revert to the older nightly build you had on your camera, or go back to the download page and click "Show Older Builds" and choose one from yesterday or the day before.
The majority of times the nightly builds are stable and it is rare that features break, if they do they are usually fixed within a couple of days (if not a day).

If the nightly builds page is not working for you, try again the next day.

If builds say that they have failed, click "Show Older Builds" and choose the most recent build that has not failed.

--Uninstalling Magic Lantern

Booting Without ML  (is a simple process).
If you want to boot your camera without ML, all you have to do is hold down the "SET" button while switching your camera "ON".

Un-installing ML (is a simple process).
It is not enough to simply delete ML off of your SD card, this will leave the bootflag on your card set and can potentially brick your camera (when booting from a card that has the bootflag set but no 'autoexec.bin' file).
If you want to completely un-install ML, all you have to do is turn your camera on, press the "MENU" button, find "Format" in the 'first tool' menu.
In format, see that "Low level format" is ticked by pressing the "delete" button, and select ok.
Be warned, formatting erases (deletes) everything on your card including all your pictures and videos, make sure you have taken them off your card first.

--FAQs (such as: I can't seeee raw recording in movie menu, heeeeeelp plzzzzzz!!!)

For all general Magic Lantern FAQs see this link: magiclantern.fm/faq.html (http://www.magiclantern.fm/faq.html)

--What is "ML"?
It is an abbreviation for "Magic Lantern"

--How do I install ML on other cameras? (Such as my Somy 72m, Nicone a001, Olympics 7z1, etc)
For starters the camera has to be a supported Canon EOS camera. (ML does not run on Sony, Nikon, Pentax, Barbie cameras, etc etc)
The process for most cameras (particularly the cameras that were originally supported under the version 2.3 of ML) is generally the same,
however you must make sure your cameras firmware matches the firmware that ML requires,
and that if you do need to update your cameras firmware to match that you use the Canon firmware that matches your camera.
For relevant instructions to your camera you should find the specific cameras thread in the camera specific discussion board (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?board=34.0).

--Explain the boot flag thingy again!?
There are two bootflags; the Canon Camera bootflag, and the SD card bootflag.
The Camera bootflag only gets set once. When you buy your camera it is set to 0 (off), when installing ML for the first time (using ML's .fir file) it sets the bootflag to 1 (on). This allows SD cards which have the bootflag set to run the "autoexec.bin" file when the camera is turned on.
The SD bootflag is removed when formatting the card. The SD card comes without a bootflag. The bootflag is written into the card header (something like that, I don't know the technicalities) into a specific location (using a separate program that can write a Canon/ML bootflag). There are many different bootflags that can be written into an SD card that are not compatible with Canon cameras, so the result will be that ML does not run.
To set the bootflag on the SD card one needs "EOScard" (see links above).

--How does I Raw recording?!?!!1!
Provided you have followed this tutorial all the way (that is including the update to the nightly builds), you must then go into the ML menu,
then into the "modules" menu, there you can enable "raw_rec" or "mlv_rec" to record raw video. Then after restarting your camera you should find raw recording in the movie menu.
raw_rec: is the old original raw video recording format
mlv_rec: is the new raw video recording format which can contain more metadata
Sometimes better performance is achieved from the old format, the only way to truly know is to experiment yourself with it.

--I can only record video up to "1728x1156" resolution.
I can only agree with this statement. That is a limitation of the 550D.
See this google docs link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQ2MOkAZTFHdFFIcFp1d0R5TzVPTVJXOEVyUndteGc&usp=drive_web#gid=5 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQ2MOkAZTFHdFFIcFp1d0R5TzVPTVJXOEVyUndteGc&usp=drive_web#gid=5)

--My pictures/raws come out looking interlaced (they have lots of lines through them).
You have enabled "dual_iso", go into the modules menu and turn it off.

--My video is all flashy (every 2nd frame is bright).
You have enabled HDR video, go into the movie menu and turn it off.
HDR video is not raw recording (although can be used in conjunction with raw recording, but not in the case that you are after).

--The latest build is not working correctly for me.
See "Updating Magic Lantern" above.

--How to Contribute (and help progress of the 550D port of ML)

Register Maps (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14656) need your support! A clean database is being made of the register maps and they need to be convert from the wikia (http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Register_Map/550D).
550D has its own register map page (http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Register_Map/550D) and this needs to be converted into the new format (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14656).

Hi all,

My 550D is arriving in the mail today and after I briefly play with it in "stock" form, I'm putting ML in it ASAP.  I don't see much activity in discussing ML with the 550D here, apart from the tutorials above.  Hopefully, if I run into questions, there is still enough interest in this model that I can draw upon the collective expertise of the community!  Thanks in advance!!

Post by: Kraj81 on October 10, 2014, 08:08:14 PM
Hello,

So I have a 550D as well with the updated canon firmware and the updated ML nightly build however I noticed that ever since I installed ML my camera would automatically either stop recording or shuts off. It's been happening a lot tonight after the update. I'd have to turn the switch back to the off position and wait for a minute or two before it turns back on. I also removed the battery and did the same steps again several times. Should I uninstall ML, reformat the SD card and restore everything to factory default and start all over again? It's really aggravating and I would love to start practicing with this camera before I buy a better model or something.

Updated ML by "Copied new version over old version"? Or update as in "Deleted AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML directory and copied extracted nightly contents"?
If first, try second and report results.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Kraj81 on October 10, 2014, 08:29:38 PM
Hello Walter,

I "Deleted AUTOEXEC.BIN and ML directory and copied extracted nightly contents". I started recording then I got the "Movie recording has been stopped automatically" again. I hit the record button and filmed for about 30 seconds then stopped. Camera then went completely blank until I kept pressing buttons and the red light started flashing and I heard the shutter noise (i think that's what it is or sound like) then it came back on. I'm using a Dane Elec SD class 10 32GB card if that makes any difference.

Just to make sure: You recorded in Canon's H.264 (MOV) at the time the error occured?
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Kraj81 on October 10, 2014, 08:45:05 PM
I believe so, I haven't made any changes other than updated the Canon firmware, set the movie exposure to Manual, turn of the Auto power off and it is set to record in 1920x1080 and the only changes I made in ML was turning on Cropmarks and plug in an external mic. Forgive, I'm still learning the terms and features of this camera and ML. I'm one of those that used this device to take pictures at random without messing with the settings and now I'm trying to learn how to shoot film.

Just checked and saw the Bit Rate is at the 1.0 default setting if that is what you were asking about.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i

Thanks for your input. I don't own a 550D.
I think it's about time for a second 550D user to jump in if your problems are reproducable.

First I'd like to apologise for not completing all the tutorials yet.

I have had this problem before, and I believe other people have also. I can't remember if there were 2 solutions but the solution to my problem doing the same;

For me it would stop because the buffer would fill quite quickly. The way I fixed this was to completely format the card in the computer, then I did a low level format in the camera. Then you have to do "the second install" on the card, which I have not completed, however there is a tutorial on it here http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install
What you need to do is grab the program EOScard (which I have included in the quick links up the top), run that on the card, so that the bootable flag is enabled, and then copy the new ML nightlies across. If your nightlies are a few days old now grab newer ones.
But yeah, it seemed to be for me some sort of card problem where there was probably remnants of other files spread across the card so it couldn't write neatly and quickly.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Kraj81 on October 12, 2014, 03:30:22 PM
So for clarification, run the EOScard program after the reformat on the PC before reinstalling the ML?

Reformat on PC _AND_ALSO_ low level format in camera, in that order both before EOScard.

EOScard sets the bootflag on the card, telling the camera that autoexec.bin is on the card, formatting removes the flag, so running the format after the EOScard would remove the flag which you need (that wasn't meant to sound patronising, I was just elaborating (which this will soon be in my unfinished tutorials)).

ALSO _important_, if you have run EOScard (if you have set the bootflag on the sd card) NEVER insert it into the camera without having "autoexec.bin" (and the ML folder) on the card. Because if it's not on the card the camera will still try to boot off the card which could damage or brick your camera.
If you do happen to, turn your camera off and remove the battery, then take the SD card out (switching the camera off by the power usually does nothing, so you need to remove the battery to turn the power off).

Well, I've completed the reformat and reinstall of the software and I was able to record for 30 seconds without any issues. I'll try to record longer tomorrow and post any updates.

Thanks again for the assistance.

I've flashed your ROM and got some greenish screen :P
Autofocus doesn't seem to work, shutter count didn't change (or maybe you also have 80K clicks like me?), otherwise camera seems to work normally.

Reflashed back. Screen color back to normal, autofocus still not working. Maybe that's how the kit lens is supposed to work?!

I've got the 50mm 1.8/f lens attached at the moment, and it was also the last lens used to take photos.
(EF50mm f/1.8 II)
Shutter count is at: 4K = 2844+ 1457

Also there was a ROM0.BIN, is that anything needed? It was the exact same size.

Post by: a1ex on October 22, 2014, 03:33:08 PM
ROM0 is not connected on 550D (ROM backup code is generic, one size fits all).

It's probably my kit lens defective (the motor only works in one direction, on any camera). Didn't try the lens before reflashing (it collects dust on the shelf). I don't have any other AF lens to try (my 50/1.8 is broken, only works in MF).

You must be formatting with keep ML. To be sure format in computer then again in canon. But I don't know why you would not want to keep such a useful thing as ML.

Hi, I'm trying to disable the automatic gain control on my T2i so I can get cleaner audio recording with an external microphone. I understand Magic Lantern provides this feature.

I attempted to install Magic Lantern for the first time. I reset camera settings, updated my Canon firmware (1.0.9) and formatted my memory card. I downloaded the latest nightly build and pasted the unzipped files to the root of my SDHC 16GB memory card using a USB card reader on a Mac.

The contents of the SD card look like this:
autoexec.bin
DCIM
MISC
ML

When I attempt to update firmware in the camera, I receive an error: "Memory card containing firmware is required to update."

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Post by: Mallard on November 21, 2014, 06:34:30 AM
So I formated my SDHC card and downloaded the Stable (outdated) version of Magic Lantern. I was able to get it installed successfully.

I'm a bit confused about the "boot flag". What does it do? How do I determine if the boot flag is enabled or not? Can I format my SDHC card now or do I need to keep the Magic Lantern files on there? Thanks.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on November 21, 2014, 06:59:02 AM
The cam's bootflag has to be set or ML won't run.
If you format your card you will loose ML. Because ML is run from the card. See User Guide section above.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Datadogie on November 21, 2014, 05:40:50 PM
If ML is working the bootflag is working. What it does is first time you run ML Firmware upgrade is add a line to Canons firmware telling it to read the autoexec file on the card. So the program runs from the card not the camera.

Edit  I just downloaded the latest and I can't see the fir file.

Found it.

I'm experiencing the same issue not finding the 550D.fir file and with the only one I managed to find in an old link, I get the message that "the file cannot be found" on the card. Another thing though is that I'm not able to update the Canon firmware even though it's already 1.0.9. I've tried everything and no luck. I'm not sure wether there's a problem with the camera or there's something I'm missing.
Anyone has any idea?

Still the same message "Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and relaid the battery again".
I've tried a couple of SDHC 32Gb cards (Verbatim) and a 1Gb SD card with the same result. I cleared all settings on the camera and formatted (even tried with "low") and I end up with the same result.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I get the same error message when I try to update the firmware with the Canon 109.

Any idea?

Is your cam running Canon's firmware 1.0.9?
(If not: Format the card using a cardreader. Insert into cam. Format it there. Back into cardreader. Copy Canon's firmware file to card. Insert card into cam and run firmware update.)

Format the card using a cardreader. Insert into cam. Format it there. Back into cardreader. Copy extracted *nightly* build contents to card (Autoexec.bin + ML directory). Extract the files linked by ItsMeLenny. Copy 550D-109.fir to card's root.

Insert card into cam and run firmware update.

Hello everyone! I'm new here, i've just bought a 550D, i usually take photos, a few videos on occasion only.
I have to film something for longer than 12minutes, and i was told Magic Lantern is the way to do it. I installed it without a problem (the stable release, then updated to the latest nightly firmware, but my recordings still stop at the 12-13 minute mark.
On the stable firmware it just stopped by itself, on the latest nightly it stopped with saying "recording stopped automatically" or something like that, and that notice was on the screen until i pressed menu or shutter button. Is it not possible to record more than 12 minutes? Isn't there an "automatically start record again" function?

P.S. I'm using a 32 GB Kingston Class 10 UHS-1 (SDA10/32)

Yes there is:

http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/userguide#movie_restart (http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/userguide#movie_restart)

Movie Restart

While this setting is on, movie recording will restart automatically, unless you stop it. There will be a few seconds skipped during restarting.

You can turn the bitrate down to record up to 30mins.

Hi All! 
I use very often my 550D always with magic lantern.  8)

I have a bug on the last build (10/07)
it incorrectly display the Time indicator [ In movie tweaks ] it is set on remain 4GB
When ON the Time Indicator is just over the GB remain ( top right of the screen )
In ELAPSED Mode it RUN OK
IN REMAIN CAR and 4GB
and it show very strange numbers that changes incoherently
after time it stabilize but show 44min on a 4GB count down..
after it show red reverse also strange numbers

First I thought about VBR mode but I am in CBR 1.0x so I dont know why it dont show a consistent TIME REMAIN

I've tried with full hd and 720p it dont change anything.

Best and Long life to ML !    :)


EDIT : Sorry it appear that even in CBR filming a black scene (with lens cover) change dramatically the movie size so the countdonwn is false.
With real life filming time seems correct

CBR 1.0X will still have a varying bitrate, depending on detail and noise. It just won't vary as much as a higher setting.

Hi,
I installed latest Oct FW for 550D
But cannot find RAW VIDEO.

Is this option deleted from latest FW ?
Pls help.... thanks
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: pilgrim on December 19, 2014, 11:35:37 PM
First : Go to menu "Module"
2nd : activate the "raw_rec.mo" this module which will make the the camera can record in raw, but I prefer the "mlv_rec" (please find the explanation on the other thread.
3rd : switch off the camera
4th : switch on the camera, and on the menu "Movie" will appear the sub menu "RAW video", press the Q to adjust as you want.

Due to the capability of 550D writing on SD card, it can not do HD.
Other possibility : make lower the "FPS" and record in HD, very useful for time lapse, or record in lower than HD and then up-res.

Good luck !

So sorry for missing a step in between and thanks pilgrim and others for reminding me.
Now ML is working properly on my 550D so I am heading to RAW video again and I activate in Module the thing said in this FAQ.

However, when I go to Movie and shoot, it stops after 4 or 5 seconds and nothing recorded on my 550D/SD card.

I already tried several low resolution and still no luck. What could be the cause ?
My SD card is Class 10 already.

Post by: dmilligan on December 22, 2014, 03:37:35 AM
That's not an error. Your card (and the camera itself for that matter) simply can't keep up with the absolutely huge data rates required for RAW video.

Make one recording then notice what the bottom of the screen says when you're in the RAW video menu on the 'resolution' option.

Just installed the latest Nightly Build for the 550D. I keep getting this message: "1 skipped" , even when there isn't a frame skipped. Is this a (known) bug ?

Furthermore I do actually have more skipped/corrupt frames than with the older version of nightly build (installed about a year ago). :(

Hey guys, I use ML for 2 years now and I simply adore the stable version.
It saved me a lot of money on additional equipment, and it just works amazing.


But I also noticed for a while now that there are nightly builds. I most commonly take pics, but from time to time I also record some nightclub footage. I know what nightly stands for as I'm a developer, but I'm not so good with DSLR SW/FW...

Will I notice anything new on these new builds? Are they worth flashing? I don't really understand the changelog, but I see that it does affect the 600D (same stuff as T2i but the screen)...

Thanks

Hi! I've successfully installed and updated ML on 5D2/5D3 and I think I'm quite familiar with the procedure, but now trying to install ML on T2i for my son to have a play with :) and run into a problem.
When going to update the firmware, T2i finds the .fir file fine, displays "Loading" and then the display goes blank, that's it, the only thing is happening I get intermittent red light showing activity, but nothing happens? Tried few times, waited several minutes, no joy? The only thing to get out of that state is to take the battery out.

Anyone experienced something similar?

Thanks

Nowadays the Nightlies are more stable than the Stable 2.3 version.
And Stable 2.3 version isn't really recommended.

Hi, in my 550d failed to install version 2.3. Only works an old version of magic lanter dating back to July 2008 (magiclantern-2011Jul08.550D.fw109.alex), but is a bit limited compared to the latest versions, does not have the HDR video. If I try to install on sd card the new stable or even an older version as: magiclantern-2011Oct21.550D.60D.600D.50D.zip, the camera shows update firmware but then shows a black screen and the red LED that flashes, that forces me to remove the battery to reset. Led is blinking as if I had to update the firmware canon, but it is already factory 1.0.9.
Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks in advance
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on March 07, 2015, 10:12:42 PM
Blinking LED indicates firmware mismatch. ML detects checksum and the existence of subversions slightly different but running under the same version number is quite common. Go to http://pel.hu/eoscard and download firmware 1.0.9 and run firmware installation from a clean card (formatted in cam).

Hi Guys, bit of a novice with the 550D, so please bear with me, I noticed that the fps could be changed to 60fps, dose this mean the 55D can shoot in slow motion when played back at 25fps normal speed. Ive tried and it doesn't seem to work, is it because im shooting in 1920x1080, am I changing the settings wrong or its it simply because it is not meant to do this. Im using a 32gb SDHC class 10 card and editing in fcp7. Everything else is great from what I can work out so far, DSLRS are qiute new to me and only just got used to the Canon firmware, so please forgive me if I seem a bit dense.
Thanks guys appreciate these forums.

Yes it is because you are shooting at 1920x1080. The camera has both PAL and NTSC modes (I'm assuming your PAL because you're changing it to 25fps).

PALNTSC
1920x108025 fps29.97 fps
1920x1080 24p23.976 fps23.976 fps
1280x72050 fps59.94 fps
640x48050 fps59.94 fps

So you can only get "60 fps" in 1280x720 or 640x480.
The numbers aren't completely round because of NTSC television, NTSC to match the frequency divides the number by 1.001.
This would result for 24 to equal 23.976023976.
What canon actually does is times the number by 0.999 which rounds it to 23.976.

So you can do "slow mo" going from NTSC 1280x720 and changing it to 25fps or 24fps in post, but it may not be as slow as you think.

Post by: ShootMeAlready on April 04, 2015, 08:37:50 PM
Anybody played around with Af+facial AF lock?  I point my camera at the TV when a show is on and I am surprised at how fast it locks onto to new faces as the shot changes.
I also have a 70D, and what it does is not only lock onto the face but also adjusts focus when in servo mode.

So it occurs to me that the 550D/600D could have a psuedo servo mode added if they only Af every so many seconds (lets say every 1/10th of a second), then it would behave
more like my 70D.  So I would like to ask the question, is there any way to get the 550D/600D to have a psuedo servo mode? One where you can adjust the AF rate to as  fast as it can go?
This psuedo servo mode should just be a call to AF, just like pressing the AF button.

Before I ask to add this to code, I guess the first question to ask is can anyone do this presently?

And  for those who say why bother with this?  This is a rather cool video feature, because it would allow you to point and let AF facial recognition jump to each moving prominent face as it records video.

Cheers.

Post by: ItsMeLenny on April 05, 2015, 04:37:34 AM
You may want to ask that question in feature request section of the forum.
If it's a feature from one camera, it can't be ported to another.
So if it is possible it has to be coded from scratch.

I'm not sure what the features of the 70D are, but if they are like the 650D,
(with an autofocus in video mode) they work using a special sensor,
so there's no way to code that as it's a hardware thing.

There has been attempts in the past to make an autofocus in video mode,
it didn't work too well.

It does matter that he follows instructions, it's probably better to say:
"If you follow instructions, it really doesn't matter."

Bottom line: It doesn't matter if you already have the bootflag or not. Just follow the first install instructions.

I tried to install ML on a T2i that was still on firmware version 1.0.6 and while the battery grip was still on (I was in a rush). Obviously it didn't work; the camera still works just fine.

Now, I want to properly update the Canon firmware and then install ML.

Is there anything I should be aware of since I tried installing ML on old firmware? Would it have affected the boot flag? I don't want to hurt the camera.

On a slightly different topic.

I have been successfully using ML for some time now for still images though vid is a little thwort at the moment.

I have been asked to give a short talk on ML by my Camera club and would like to be able to project straight from the camera via a PC.

Does any one know how to do this or what programme I would need to acquire?
Thanks

Hi,

I have some doubts and problems about 550D ML:

- In the installation guide for Canon 550D ML he says that if this is the first time you install ML, ML v2.3 should have the first version. And then download the updates in which only the ML folder is overwritten.
Now, as I know which version I have installed update, install An UPDATE that you install do not see any difference, and is always shown me version 2.3.
Someone clarify this to me, I also say that the 550D ML no resemblance to other Canon cameras is very incomplete ...

- When I turn on the camera always remains frozen me, I have to press any button on the camera to be "un-freeze" it worries me a little ...

- It happens also that by putting the timer on the camera itself when I go to take the shot and just hit the button that opens the shutter and after the second set makes a slight noise that is when taking a picture.
But ... that opens before you oburador ?? this is not happening to me when I had ML installed in the camera. It will be some configuration settings ?.

Regards.

Hello all.  I am not really new to photography but it has been a few decades.  Now I want to get into videography.  You know making Youtube videos so my family can follow my travels. 

It scares the bejesus out of me to make changes to my camera (I do not want to render it useless) but I understand ML is a great tool.   Some of the tech stuff yall say goes over my head.  But last night I fully charged the camera battery.  I am now formatting my SD card.  I actually have two 32G cards dedicated to my camera.  Should I format both and put ML on both?  Or just be prepared to move data alot?

I have printed off the first page of this post.

I cannot recommend the installation instructions you linked.
There is a detailed installation manual included in v2.3 "stable" instead.

To update your cards to Nightly Build after first install I recommend this (has some reduntant steps but works all the time)
- Use cardreader to format your card
- Use cam to format your card again
- Use EOScard/Macboot to make card bootable
- Wipe ML directory, all FIR files and autoexec.bin from card
- Copy extracted nightly build contents to card
- Insert card into cam and startup.

Hmmm.

I ran the v2.3 and it started off seeming to work.  Now I have a black screen.  There is a red light at the bottom right of the computer which goes steady for a few seconds then blinks out for a few seconds.  This leads me to believe it it thinking or working.  But all I see is a black viewing screen.  Do I need to pop the battery and start over?
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: ItsMeLenny on May 18, 2015, 01:35:33 PM
Make sure your camera is running Canon firmware 1.0.9.

Low level format your card in the camera.

Extract the contents of 2.3 to the camera but delete all the .fir files except for 550D-109.fir.

Run the firmware update, and it should do its thing and then be running ML.

However you don't want to run 2.3, so delete everything on the card and put the Nightly build on.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Pirate_Korupt on May 18, 2015, 03:33:03 PM
Camera is running Canon firmware 1.0.8.  I am attempting to change it to 1.0.9.

So now I understand you saying the extraction of 2.3 is the Magic Lantern not the Canon camera firmware upgrade.  I am back to the firmware update procedures.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Pirate_Korupt on May 18, 2015, 03:44:35 PM
I am still getting the "Update file error".  It also says, "Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again".  Time for re-format number 3.

edited for clarity.

You have to update your cameras firmware to 1.0.9 using Canon firmware before you attempt to install Magic Lantern (see first post for links).
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on May 19, 2015, 02:02:55 PM
Format card using cardreader
Format card using cam
Copy Canon's firmware file e8kr7109.fir to card
Use Canon's firmware update menu to update firmware
Format card using cardreader
Format card using cam

There is a very detailed installation instruction coming with v2.3 "stable". Proceed as described there.

19 times is charm.  I know this frustrated yall as much as it did me.  I was following your instructions to a T.  I even went and bought a new 16gb SD card.  It took 6 tries with it.  But it is successful.  My camera now has firmware 1.0.9 on it.  Thank you both for your persistance and help.

Is it possible to use 550D (or any other ML camera) as a security CCTV camera or a car dashboard cam? I have the AC power adapter so it could run forever without the need of a battery.

The only problem is it will stop recording as the card is full..
Can we make it automatically overwrite the first file and make it going on a loop?

Thanks!! :D

Sorry cannot find away to enter a new topic but this is sort of related.

When I set up the camera to take a photo using eithert  AV, TV or Manual -  White Balance, EXP, ISO, aperture the camera then continually hunts through the exposure from min to max available making actually taking the photo impossible.  How do I fix please been unable to find away.  I am currently using nightly build May 25th but this has occurred on previous builds.

Hi  It happens on auto too.  However it appears to be stable on TV AV and P as well as A- dep.   Have upgraded to the June N'Build same result. 
Could it be one of the settings under ML?   Will try revert and if this does not correct delete ML , reformat card and reload ML from scratch.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on June 17, 2015, 12:16:15 PM
Just delete ML directory and Autoexec.bin from card and copy extracted nightly build contents to card.
Reformating card and ML reinstallation will just be for fun because it will not change a single setting.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: [email protected] on June 17, 2015, 05:49:59 PM
Thanks.

 So I have reformatted the card using the PC card now clean.  Reformatted again in camera and loaded Canon firmware then reinstalled Ml and the June Nightly Build.

After a struggle it seems to be behaving its self.  Will let you know how I get on or my Looney bin address  :-\

I am a magic lantern user for over 2 years. Thank you for magic lantern. I saw on 1st April we had a linux booting on some cameras (prbly not the 550d).

There is a guy on youtube that dismantles the camera. I am wondering if it would be possible to change the sd card for a faster one. I have zero information about it yet, and its just an idea. Well if after the dismantling the body, specialist resoldering the sd reader, would it be recognized (probably sth would not be working). What would be the biggest improvement for video recording?

Lets suppose that i would donate this camera for so diy project. What skills should one have to resolder the sd card? if i talk to Canon service guy in Poland, would you have any groundbreaking thing to do to that camera.

I mean, as an extreme example, could i pay to design a powered converter on a pcb can be soldered to camera memory buffer, and make it mount in the buffer place an 80gg 1.8inch intel ssd drive? 1 have one on hand and have no use for it :) Can do crystal speed test or blackmagic speed test.

The camera is not very pricey, and there are a lot of used ones on the market :) Tell me if its worth to waste  time thinking and wrting on forum about it?

Hello,
I'm using Canon 550D for last 2 years. Currently my camera firmaware version is 1.0.9, I tried to load Magic lantern on my camera but unable to do that. This is the procedure I'm following-
1- Downloaded magiclantern-Nightly.2015Jun24.550D109.zip file from magiclantern nightly build page on my PC & unzipped all files in a folder.
2- Formatted the 8GB SD card on PC then put in the camera & again did a low level formatting from 550D. Also cleared all setting to default in camera.
3- Now inserted the SD card in my laptop card reader & copied these contents- 550D-109.fir, autoexec.bin & ML folder to the root directrory of SD card.
4- Fully charge Camera battery
5- Removed SD card from laptop & inserted in camera card slot.
6- Switched ON camera, moved dial to manual mode (M), clicked on Menu, went to settings & Firmware Ver. 1.0.9. clicked set button to update version from SD card.

Now camera goes blank & RED LED is blinking every one second for extended period of time. There is no response from camera so finally I removed the battery & formatted the SD card again.

550D is working on company firmware 1.0.9 normally now but I'm wondering where I did mistake or skipped any step that I am unable to load Magic Lantern on camera.

Any de-zipper should be able to extract FIR from this EXE. It's a so called self-extracting archive (at least on Windows). Windows will extract the file by executing it.

Hello,
I installed yesterday the last Magic Lantern firmware on my Canon EOS 550D, and everything seems to work properly.

However, I want to ask you the following question: I have a 16 GB SD HC card, and it seems that I can save 15 min.

To increase the recording time, what type of SD card you advise me? Are there some which do not work with a Canon EOS 550D and Magic Lantern?

Thank you for your help.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on July 09, 2015, 12:30:15 PM
Eye-Fi won't work at all.
Interface is UHS-I. UHS-II will only give you faster transfer speeds to PC using a cardreader supporting UHS-II.
And maximum write speed in cam is about 21 MByte/s.

AFAIK there is no other limitation.

Recording H.264 will give you just below 30 minutes uninterrupted recording time and about half a second gap during transistion.
RAW/MLV has no such limit. Seamless recording > 30 minutes is implemented in latest nightlies.

I found best way was. Take the Canon USB to A/V cable and headphone extension cable,  cut both in half then splice the appropriate ends together.  Also you need to buy a headphone amp. I use a little Filo amp. ( you can also use this for the microphone)  to boost the audio.

It is not available. I think at one point they tried to add something, but it was practically impossible.
New cameras with autofocus in video have a special image sensor to allow it to do so.

Hello,

I did purchase a micro RODE NTG2 I want to connect my digital camera Canon EOS 550D. I use Magic Lantern, and despite having pushed the settings in the analog gain to + 32dB, I have a very low volume. A few centimeters from the source to record, painfully I reach the first mark in the meter.

I thought I had a microphone problem so I tested with a recorder Tascam DR40 type: it works.

Do some of you have had this problem? And if so, how did you solve?

If iOS has some sort of EOS utility and if the device can take a USB input.
There's the EOS utility for Windows and Mac and it basically streams images like a webcam.
However webcams are usually uncompressed 640x480, the canon camera streams 4:2:2 jpeg at a higher resolution.

Currently using a 128GB Komputerbay 600x class 10 card. No issues at all with the size of the card, speed can be an issue though when I crank up the bitrate. When choosing a card don't look at class alone. Benchmarks is the only way to make sure a card can write fast enough.

There are some web sites delivering quite reliable information about card performance. I would try http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com
Do not mix up results. Those are only valid for the very card tested. Examples:
Lexar 800x CF-card: 32 GB shows 45 MByte/s. 64 GB shows about 70 MByte/s.
Sony's 94 MB/s SD-card performs poorly in EOS cams, 95 MB/s has no problems.

Hi guys, I've been a trying a few times to install Magic Lantern and it just won't work.

When I try to update the firmware to install Magic Lantern, I get this message:
Incorrect firmware version.
Expecting a Canon 550D,
with firmware version 109.
Please reinstall Canon firmware 109,
even if you already have this version.

So I listen, and download the e8kr7109.exe file from Canon and extract it on my SD card so I get the .fir file there.
Now when I try to update the firmware on my camera, it simply says:
Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again.

Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
NF.

So, I used a 8gb card to re-install the Canon firmware and it worked. After that, I used my 64gb card to install Magic Lantern and it seems to work.
Thank you very much!

Everything over the default settings sometimes stops recording after a while. The card warmup feature in ML does help though.

Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Walter Schulz on March 20, 2016, 05:27:58 PM
Some cards perform a little better after heating them up (= higher temperature). For those cards there is a menu item in Movie tab -> RAW video (MLV) -> Card warm-up
You can select different file sizes for warm-up operation. Bigger file size = higher temperature but delay (until camera is up and ready) will be higher, too. Warm-up will happen after camera powered on. So you have to start recording after warm-up or card will consequently get colder.

Benchmark (Debug tab -> Benchmarks -> Card R/W benchmark (5 min)
will tell you if your card is affected. Ever mentioned there are 2 benchmark runs for buffer size 16384k? If the second run shows higher numbers it means your card works better after warming up.

Difference is not that big, most of the time.

I tried shooting 60fps, it work on the camera; however, the resolution I was forced to shoot in (960x216) isn't good enough and when I try playing back the footage in Premiere Pro CC, it wouldn't.

Is there any way to get acceptable slow-motion with the Canon 550d (Sandisk X3M Pro 32g 95m/s)?

I shoot with ML RAW, use MLRawViewer to preview and convert the files to DNG then import the DNGs into Premiere Pro CC.

Is that where the problem is?

MlRawViewer development stopped. Use MLVFS instead.

TK2290, are you using raw or mlv?
If mlv, then +1 to using mlvfs.
If raw, then mlvfs (afaik) won't work.
In which case you might want to consider switching to mlv for future shoots.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i

If shot in RAW then perhaps try using @Danne's MLP which does wonders for literally everything on OS X.

I found it, read through, downloaded and installed and so far everything seems to be working fine. I'm trying to understand everything as I go by and so far I had some test files on my desktop, I loaded them into MLVFS and they all worked in Premier Pro CC. Is there anything I should know before progressing, for example to get the most out of my MLV Raw Footage, should I alter any of the configuration option?

Hey guys,

It's me again and I've now gotten a chance to try shooting 60fps with my 550d (Sandsk X3M Pro 95m/s 32g), I tried the MLVFS workflow and I must say the quality of my footage is much better: However, the first problem I had with shooting slow motion with ML on the camera is still there, the footage after imported into "Premiere Pro CC" looks somewhat skewed and squeezed, I know I don't have the anamorphic feature turned on so I'm troubled as to why this happens. That's basically what I mean by acceptable slow-mo footage.

Anyone having or ever had this problem?

Hi,

So, I tried to get around a problem where my 550D didn’t do anything when I pressed the “Q” button.

I low level formatted the card, copied the ML Directory (build 2016Apr19) to the card, and created the fir file using the v1.0.9 firmware from Canon’s website.

I ran the Firmware Update, and got the green screen at the end.

I reset the camera (assuming that means power down/up).

Now it is just the same as it was before – it doesn’t seem to recognize that ML is there.

I tried rerunning the Firmware update, same result.

Anything I missed?

Must have been something, but I have no idea what it is.

Any Help appreciated,

Bryan.

When I last used Magic Lantern, a few years ago, I used the Shoot menu; "HDR Bracketing" a lot.

Now I need it again, so I loaded the latest nightly download.

However, it seems that the options in the Shoot menu have changed, and I have things like Advanced Bracketing, which has only one option - QAx2EV

Do I need a stable version of the LM Firmware which might still have "HDR Bracketing"??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bryan.

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the 'Q' tip.
So, now I get a sub-menu "Advanced Bracket"

This rolls around to give options; "Bracket Type" with the following options;
  DOF(Aperture)
  Exposure(Tv,Ae)
  Exposure(Flash)

Still no mention of HDR though.

Thanks,

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to know if it's true that recording 1080p is 720p rescaled? I read a comment on reddit saying this that I can't find and it got my curiosity and wanted to verify it.

Maybe this is the case doing normal recording but not in RAW?

Thanks!
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Audionut on July 14, 2016, 03:39:06 AM
Refer to this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cgnRivbUv7nA9PUlCLmLdir3gXdIN3pqzCNAAybepc/edit#gid=5).

Max resolution 1:1 liveview no crop.  This is the resolution that Canon firmware records at.  So to get to 1920x1080 there is some scaling applied.  It is also the maximum resolution with ML raw in normal mode.

Max resolution in crop mode is the maximum resolution that ML raw can record, but only in crop mode.

In either case, the SD card interface in the 550D is limited to 21 MByte/s which limits continuous raw recording to around 960x518 pixels.

IMO waste of money for this cam. SD-Interface built in is compatible with "High Speed" = 25 MByte/s transfer. Only in cardreader (a decent one, of course) you would see good transfer speeds. But there you use mostly "read" and there are other cards performing well reading. See www.cameramemoryspeed.com

"Incorrect firmware version.
Expecting a Canon 550D
with firmware version 109."

Then i formatted the SD card on the camera(low-level).
On the forum i found a link to a dowload of the firmware 1.0.9, but when i try to "upgrade" (in the menu of the camera)  i get an error.
"Firmware update program
Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again."

Did this several times, but it doesn't work.
Can someone help me please??

Hi,

I also found ML only after I have had my camera already updated to 1.1.0 firmware.
But I didn't have any issue downgrading the firmware to 1.0.9 version.
What I did:
1. Format my SD card (low level).
2. Copy 1.0.9 fir onto it and downgrade firmware on camera.
3. Format again (just in case).
4. Copy ML (build from 19.12.2016) and perform firmware upgrade on camera (in a second).
5. Reboot and enjoy.

Big thanks to the ML team.

For info and people who frequently ask questions about SD cards best choise, I just bought a 550D for some bucks this week& and I was confronted to the jungle of SDHC.
After a quick tour with keeping attention on write speeds and not on the stratospheric marketing' read speeds I made my choice on the new Sandisk SDHC Extreme 90 Mb/s series, apparently the cheapest SD UHS1 card who can maintain more than 25Mb/s. I already have an 'Ultra' version but it's stuck @ 15Mb/s (even the new 'Ultra' 80Mb/s series), beside the 'Extrem Pro' series is expensive to use in a camera like that and the 90Mb/s of write speed is useless.
Actually this new 'Extrem' [regular] version can write up to 40Mb/s but I'm not sure that this can be maintained so it could be short for XXD cameras with a faster SD interface.
We can found this card (32Gb version) for $15 on web stores.
But I'm not working for Sandisk (^.^) so maybe we could find equivalents in other makers.. (Even if I did not right now)

After some experiments on the 550D, it looks the function isoless_playback_fix is not working well on last builds (and maybe on olders, I only used builds since February); the screen comes aliased (blury) when 'bright' or 'dark' appears during dual_iso image review. It makes hard to see something on screen ^.^'
Based on 7D & 1100D special conditions I made a test with:
Code: [Select]
if (is_7d || is_1100d || is_550d)(line #437 in dual_iso.c)
It's a bit radical (bypass the function); no more 'bright' or 'dark' indications, but no more screen alteration. Maybe it should be set as it until it will be corrected?

Yes a1ex I remember seen this last year, indeed it would be interesting to see dual-iso 'rendered' in playback. :)
In isoless_playback_fix I did not saw where the problem comes from after a couple of days on this, it's why I put the 550D in the exit condition of the function. :/ I use this short way because I still don't have a lot of free time to dive deeply into the code and make long experimentations, and I saw that 1100D is in the same case. Plus, for the moment I've my eyes in minihizostuff to make it work on 550D with last builds (maybe I will disturb you, later ^.^)', after I will see what I could do more 'unified', everything in its time when you don't have a lot of time. :)

One thing I noticed in testing is, and I only have one test to confirm this, but while it seems the *650D* closes files when it runs out of card space, my 550D does not close the file and leaves a big ugly unclosed hunk of MOV in the folder... not sure if this is Canon firmware or ML though... ideas?

About Continuous AF during video

I've been searching for an answer to this request, I've find many answers but not a definitive one
now that electronic focusing lenses are available.

Is not possible to do a hack to use AI SERVO without having to keep pressing button all the time?

I know that many lenses are hard, slow and noisy, but now I have an electronic focusing lens (10-18mm), very fast and silent, and I think it could be great if the feature was available.

Thank you.

Well, I did get some help from qqluqq to get a ROM dump and he also did most of the work, all I did was to change a few stubs and got it running in the emulator. Here's how we did it: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19417.msg192667#msg192667

Of course the real test is running it on the camera so I posted a test build on my Bitbucket downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/). Please report back with your feedback. If it is working on the camera I'll put in a pull request.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that since this is a test build for the firmware update it doesn't have a .FIR file so make sure to set the camera boot flag before updating your firmware. Basically, you need to install ML in 1.0.9 before running the Canon 1.1.0 firmware update.

Hi everyone!

My first post here :)
I am really impressed by ML for some time now.

I wish to jump into DSLR world, and I'm kind of split between 550D and 600D. The main reason is video mode, and the fact that 550D has ~7x crop mode in 640x480, and 600D more useful (at least in my case) ~3x 1920x1080 FHD mode. Now, I have searched a lot of topics and read some, but they mostly discuss more expensive models like 5D MKIII, 7D etc. The price difference is not that big, but then again, I can get another lens with 550D... and don't really need articulated lcd screen.

So, does ML (with official or nightly build and/or experimental modules) can provide different crop video modes, just like in 600D and higher recording resolutions, just like in 600D - or not?

I have looked at the download pages here:

http://builds.magiclantern.fm/550D-109.html
http://builds.magiclantern.fm/600D-102.html

but the changelogs show only latest commits, not complete list of features. Is there somewhere a page with all the changes/features listed for each model/firmware revision (search failed me again).

Thanks!

I wish to jump into DSLR world, and I'm kind of split between 550D and 600D.

I was going to jump into this thread (I haven't in a long time) to just kind of recap why I really fell in love with the 550d to begin with, and also falling even more in love with it when I put on magic lantern.

I hope I can assist you in your decision between the 550d and the 600d, which I quite frankly would go towards the 550d because there seems to be more development and attraction towards this camera. I'm on the same boat as somebody who can pass on a fancy screen. I think the 550D produces incredible results, even still to this day. Outdated camera? Yes. Great camera overall for anything you want. Especially for learning and development purposes with magic lantern.

I don't have the fanciest set up. Just a kit lens, 24mm, 50mm, and a sigma 17-50mm. I have an 85mm rokinon on it's way soon.

But this image right here is a snippet of what I was able to record with the 550D using 14 bit raw. It was 960x420 or whatever. (ML Raw can give you funky resolutions). With a decent focus, and patience in post, I colored and upscaled the image to 1080p and tada. This. (PS. I use a 21:9 monitor, I believe I used a 2.20:1 ratio when recording, if not 2.35:1)


(https://thumb.ibb.co/njSmV6/550d.png) (https://ibb.co/njSmV6)


So this image right here is 2560 x 1080, from a 960x540 resolution, with an 8 year old camera and a kit lens.

I love it.

The 7D just blows my mind, too.

No, it doesn't.

Just FYI, 550D has an old-style LiveView implementation (same group as 450D/500D/5D2/50D/7D, and much harder to reverse engineer), while 600D has new code (like all D4 starting from 60D and all D5 models). Guess why there's no 10/12-bit raw video build for 550D, but there is one for 600D. In any case, all DIGIC 4 SD models are limited to ~20MB/s SD interface.

@a1ex

Thank you, a1ex!

Yes, I have found raw spreadsheet from a forum post here (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0), I know that raw video is great, but I don't need it right now, because it requires post processing etc.

Anyway, now your answer has brought me to a new question:
So, what does crop_rec module do in reality in ML then? Sorry, I am now more confused about it than before, thought I understand it's function. If I have to guess, it only lowers the resolution (scanned lines from sensor, or pixel readouts), so that camera's CPU can keep up (e.g. for RAW, data flow, as I read some of your other posts). In that case, I get it now. But, maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, thank you, I have already seen these matrix tables and have them bookmarked. But, they did not answer my question, so I had to ask it here (there is a mention of CROP_MODE_HACK for 650D/700D/EOS M, but they are only un-hiding the feature by Canon). Thanks!

...

Btw, I have read some of your posts, just can say that Canon should've hire you looong time ago (but then we probably wouldn't have ML in this form with all the features :D)


@ domo94

Thank you, domo94. Yes, 550D is practically identical to 600D for most ordinary and even moderate/advanced users, and especially beginners. I actually know a lot about both cameras, specs, etc. That is not an issue. But, the video crop feature is really important to me and kind of a deal breaker.


600d it is, oh, well... :( :)

crop_rec does exactly what you expect, but was not yet ported to 550D (follow this thread (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19336) if you want to help with that).

Hello,
I'm new here.
I want to use ML to make longer movies. I wanted to install ML, but i had to update. The only available firmware(@Canon) is 1.1.0. We i try to install ML i get an error;
"Incorrect firmware version.
Expecting a Canon 550D
with firmware version 109."

Then i formatted the SD card on the camera(low-level).
On the forum i found a link to a dowload of the firmware 1.0.9, but when i try to "upgrade" (in the menu of the camera)  i get an error.
"Firmware update program
Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again."

Did this several times, but it doesn't work.
Can someone help me please??

I have the exact same problem.  Low level format the SD card.  Put the 1.0.9 firmware on it.  Get the "Firmware update program
Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again." and have to take the battery out.

Also tried using the EOS utility same thing...

Any help other than "format card, downgrade firmware" would really be appreciated.

Format card, copy Canon firmware file to card (name is e8kr7109.fir) and retry.
If it is not working, try another card with less capacity (<32 GB)

Hum, looks like the page with the link to the Canon firmware updateer isn't working in the Nightly downloads "Useful Links" button. You can find 1.0.9 firmware update on my downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/). Look for "550D Canon Firmware for Testers.zip"

Wow so simple but thankfully it worked... I can't believe it!!!  Used a 2GB card instead of 64GB card.  Thank you wish I had found and read this about 5 hours ago :)

The issue is that EXFAT is case-sensitive, and so is Canon's FIR loading code. Furthermore, FIR files must have 8.3 names on EXFAT (but there's no such restriction on FAT16/32).

Short answer: rename e8kr7109.fir to e8kr7109.FIR (or E8KR7109.FIR or ANY8char.FIR).

Hello,

Does anyone know if ML will be made compatible with the firmware 1.1 ?

I am asking since I do use the 18-135 mm Canon lens so I updated to the new firmware to correct the big.
I do not wish to downgrade to FW 1.09 when  I want to use ML and then upgrade again to the newer version ....

Thanks

I've had a test build posted for a while.

I should probably update it but it would be nice to get some feedback.

Sorry, i've tested it while ago, but forgot to write what i found (in short, it didn't work for me, but other builds also so i presumed error on my side).
(everything is about videos in 10-bit colors)
But i gave it a go again today and results are ....strange.
First video is always OK whatever resolution, framerate or aspect ratio is, but in next videos every even frame is shifted. Only switching the camera off and battery removal resets it, so next first video will be fine, and following are shifted again.

Nevertherless, since now i know this, it greatly extends usability of this ol'hag for me, so thank you for the build :).

Interesting observations about the 10/12bit experiments. I found something similar when testing the 7D:

Quote from: dfort on February 08, 2018, 12:01:06 AM
Try resetting ML to default, either through the menu or delete the SETTINGS folder, turn on only mlv_lite, restart--now if you shoot a video in either mv1080 or zoom modes in 10/12bit it will probably work. Reboot the camera and it will probably record corrupted files. Not sure what is going on with that. It happens to me on the latest as well as the older builds.

BTW--my comment about publishing an update is about porting the 550D to the latest Canon 1.1.0 firmware. Posted a new build on my downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/).

I just saw a Tweet that no one had given test results back concerning the T2i with firmware 1.1.0, well I just installed the 1.1.0 firmware from Canon and then the ML firmware patch. I've got everything setup, but I'm wondering if there's a suite of tests that are expected or just how does ML work in general on the T2i?

Please advise and I'll run through things, also where do these results get posted?

Great--you can post here or on the Porting a Canon firmware update (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19417.msg192667#msg192667) topic. Note that this was started by @qqluqq and I just filled in a few missing pieces. I don't have the camera and so far have only run it in QEMU.

You can start out by using the ML features that you are most familiar with. Let us know if things run pretty much the same as with 1.0.9. What we're looking for is that the firmware update doesn't introduce any new issues. I posted a "550D Canon Firmware for Testers" package on my downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/) in case you find an issue and want to check it out on the previous firmware.

If you feel that it is stable I'll go ahead and submit a pull request.

Hello Daniel,

I have FW 1.10 installed on my 550D.
I uninstalled ML before upgrading the firmware and I do not have the SD card anymore.

I am willing to test your new ML version but I have a question : to use your FW on my camera, shall I just download the file "550D.109_to_110_fw_update.2018Feb08.550D110.zip" (1.8MB, dated 09/02/2018) form your website and install it just like if it was an "official" ML version ?

P.S : sorry for English ...


Thanks



Alex

Yes. This latest 1.1.0 build has the ML-SETUP.FIR so you should be able to install/uninstall ML just like the "official" version.

I'm thinking of just changing the first post to make it look as if 1.1.0 is the official version (not that I've tried it yet) but just as a force upgrade for everybody.
I don't see a point in there being two branches, and I don't see a point in using old firmware.
Thoughts?

Fair call :P

But yeah basically what I meant, that I would test it first.

Do I have to disable the bootflag first in camera to do the canon firmware update?

You don't have to but it would be good to do that in order to test it as if this was a new ML install. The test build I posted includes the ML-SETUP.FIR which is needed to set the camera and card bootflags.

Hello,

Just some quick comments about the 1.1.0 build.

I installed the firmware from scratch and mwy lens is the Canon 18-135mmm.


So far, I took some pictures in *.jpg and RAW.
I ran the intervallometer on ML, took some pics with dualSIO and with the bracketing module.
I did not shoot any videos.

So far, everything seems to work perfectly.

Well that is good news. Looks like it is time to submit a pull request for 1.1.0.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: dfort on February 19, 2018, 05:18:45 PM
Pull request for 550D.110 (https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-requests/905/update-to-550d110/diff) is up. Test build available on my downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/). Look for 550D.109_to_110_fw_update. There is also a "550D Canon Firmware for Testers.zip" so you don't have to go searching for the files to update and downgrade your firmware.

Need users to run the tests on camera. Load the selftest module and run the "Stubs API test" and load the lua module to run the "Script API tests" then there's the bench module to run the benchmark tests. Note that if any test fails it would be great if it can also be run on the 1.0.9 firmware to see if it is something that was introduced with the firmware update.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: volex on February 20, 2018, 10:52:45 PM
Good evening,

I ran a few of te tests on my camera (firmware 1.10 installed fron scratch) :
* "Stubs API test" finished with no problems
* Quick test (around 15 mins) within the lua module : semmed to hang a couple of times but the tests did continue when I rotated the wheel => maybe I have not been patient enough or ...
Finally tests seemed to finish
* I ran the card and the Memory "benchmarks" without any issues

But I couldn't figure out how to run the "Script API tests" !!!    I couldn't find it, Sorry....


Kind regards,


Alex

Activate the lua module, restart the camera and look in the new scripts menu. You'll find it there.

But it failed (or I have not been patient enough).

@volex - Wow, thanks for the test. I've had some tests get stuck on other cameras, it made a difference if the test was started in movie or photo mode, LiveView or not and even Manual or AV mode so if you could try running the test again but starting with a different mode and see if it completes properly.

Of course there's also the possibility that we missed updating a stub and that's why the test failed. To find out if that's the case:

Quote from: dfort on February 19, 2018, 05:18:45 PM
Note that if any test fails it would be great if it can also be run on the 1.0.9 firmware to see if it is something that was introduced with the firmware update.

No pressure, appreciate any test results and comments about how well (or not so well) the firmware update is working.

BTW -- You have an EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens which isn't affected by the fixes in the Canon firmware update but the newer version of that lens is affected:

Quote from: Canon
Firmware Version 1.1.0 incorporates the following fixes:

Corrects a phenomenon in which when using the camera with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens, even if lens aberration correction is set to "Enable", correction will not be applied.

[EDIT] Noticed that there weren't any downloads of my latest build and that the assert log is showing that you are using a 2018-02-09 build. That error seems to be pointing to a QEMU file which shouldn't be possible. I just re-compiled and uploaded a new build. Please try that one before trying a regression to 1.0.9 test.

Hi,

I upgraded to the latest 1.10 ML FWby copy/pasting the new unzipped files onto my SD card (I read that's the way to do it).

For information, I took about 700 pictures by using the motion detection trigger option => worked fine
I shot some photos last night using different settings => worked fine as well


About the tests,  I ran them again but I have the impression the "Stubs API test" crashd this time (it got stuck), I ran it 3 times with the same result.
Same thing happened with the LUA test.


I copy hee below the *.log files.

@volex -- So 1.1.0 is working fine on but the tests won't complete?

Have you tried running those same tests with 1.0.9? If they complete on 1.0.9 then there is probably a wrong stub or something that we need to track down. However, if the tests fail in the same spot in 1.0.9 then whatever the problem is it was already there and it should be tracked down and fixed in 1.0.9.

What Walter is telling you to do is that when you post a long block of code if you click the "#" icon on the formatting tools you will get a pair of "code" tags. Paste your log in between the code tags:

Hello,

Yes, that's right.
The camera works just fine but the tests won't complete.

I downgraded the Canon FW to 1.09 and I installed the latest ML FW (same SD card as before).

Again; the tests won't complete.
I even have the impression that it stoppped earlier i the process.
Maybe my camera is slightly defective ?

It would be nice if somebody would run the tests onto another 550D (with the 1.09 FW or the 1.10FW) to ompare the outcome.

I attach the results here below.

@volex - Thanks for the test, this really helps.

So whatever the problem is, it wasn't because of my 1.1.0 pull request (https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-requests/905/update-to-550d110/diff). Note that some test failures on the 550D were expected and your camera is probably fine.

Hi Daniel,

Glad to hear that some errors were expected and that the tests were useful.

Let me know if you need me to run additional tests (don't hesitate to send me a PM), I will be happy to help.


Best regards,



Alex

Hi,

I switched back to FW 1.10.
I will continue to use it and report any bugs.

So far the following features have been working fine : raw and *.jpg pictures, intervallometer, Dual Iso, bracketing, Liveview shots, ...

Hi!

First-time poster, here.

I updated my firmware for my T2i to version 1.10 and was unable to install ML.  I received a message requesting that I install 1.09.

From what I've gathered from this thread, some people have been able to use ML with this version.  Am I doing something wrong?  Has something changed?

Thanks!

ML builds have to match camera type and firmware version. You won't get ML for 1.0.9 starting up in a cam running Canon firmware 1.1.0.
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: dfort on April 05, 2018, 03:11:15 PM
@Protozoid - In order to use ML on a T2i running Canon's current 1.1.0 firmware try using the build posted on my downloads page:

https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/

I don't link directly to the file because I update it periodically. So far it has had about 50 downloads and reports are that it works the same as the 1.0.9 version. If you want to learn more about ML firmware updates read: Porting a Canon firmware update (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19417.0).

BTW--also on my downloads page is a package called "550D Canon Firmware for Testers.zip" that includes both the Canon 1.1.0 and 1.0.9 firmware updaters. This will allow you to go back and forth between these firmware version.

OK, so, as I was testing dforts 550d110 port, I noticed one strange issue which neither of us have any idea whats going on.

When you start camera in a photo mode, and mode that does not start in live view, the Canon GUI is off, you have to manually press the Disp button everytime you restart camera to show Display, it is like it sets it to off each time you restart.

This is not the case though, because by accident, after camera was off for a bit, I turned it on, and there was the Canon GUI this time.

So I then ran some timed tests to see how long you actually need to wait while camera is off, to successfully start camera with Canon GUI on.

Turns out 2 minutes 45 seconds is how long, and less, it starts with Display off.

One interesting thing is, the battery also has to be in for this 2 minutes and 45 seconds, if its not, you can wait forever and when you go to restart camera, display will start in Off mode.

So, it seems like something is getting stuck running maybe, and it needs 2 minutes 45 seconds to reset and it needs power to do this.

Any ideas to help dfort with his port update????

Oh, FYI, I did compile a version that used the 1 instead of 0 in boot-hack.c to see if starting a limited ML would help, but still same results.

I also tried clearing camera settings in canon menu and deleted magic.cfg to start fresh, no change either.

I've updated firmware to 1.1.0 and wanted to try 10 12 bit depth build, but it seems that there is none. Several week ago someone tried it though, i think @dfort had one?

The 1.1.0 firmware update seems to have some issues. It would be great if you could verify what mk11174 reported.

I just tried the 10/12 bit depth experiment on the 500D and found that it is exhibiting the same behavior as the 7D. Basically, you need to delete/reset the ML settings after every camera shutdown or you'll get the "earthquake" effect. Anyway, I'm getting off topic.

Posted a raw_video_10bit_12bit_LVState-wip.2018Apr15.550D110 build for you to try out.

I have your magiclantern-Nightly.2018Apr10.550D110.zip build and it behaves as mk1174 describes. To be honest i don't remember the last time i used photo mode, so i don't  even remember how it should behave, it displays "screan cleaning" then goes blank and requires either pressing Disp or Live View button (If mk1174 didn't pointed out as a problem, i wouldn't even considered it to be one).

Thank you for the build, going to test it.

Yeah, it is def not how it should behave, already made sure of that by downgrading back to 109 to be sure, and my other models do not behave that way, Display you def come back to the setting it was at, or by default, come back as On, you should not need to press Display button to bring it back everytime you restart camera and you should not have to wait either, 109 works fine, this version will to, once the issue is figured out.

Let's see if we can figure this out. I uploaded a lua_fix build for the 1.1.0 firmware to my downloads page (https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/).

a1ex has been asking for lua_fix tests for all cameras and it looks like the 550D has never gone through these tests (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14828.msg194706#msg194706). Maybe this will turn up something?

Standard Canon 50/1.8
Maybe it was too dark around and also it was pointed to a blank wall.
EDIT: Also it started in MF mode. but after a while it asked to be switched to AF mode, so i did.

That might be it. Could you turn on the lights and check if the focus confirmation works before running the test again?

I put it on hold. It seems everything is working, apart from issue you mentioned and since during video it still shake every other frame (novelty might be that it shakes in different directions :) ), I'm not currently using it.
Also I've received parts for my future EOS M gimbal so I'm working on that.

Also I've received parts for my future EOS M gimbal so I'm working on that.

Cool -- you're getting some remarkable results on the EOSM. Keep it up!

It the same thing as before: 10-bit raw video, first shot OK, following shaking, until taking battery out:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13111.msg197019#msg197019
So 1.09 or 1.10, this stays the same.

Thanks, but i didn't wrote any part of ML, i'm just a user. All credit belongs to developers :).

Got it--that's actually useful information. I was suggesting clearing the ML settings because that also removes the shaking from the first shot. Seems like there is something that isn't being flushed out on shutdown with the Digic 4 cameras.

I do check up on this topic every time there is a new comment.
I will hopefully test the update soon and I will test before and after updating how 10bit video goes.

I need a couple of startup logs to diagnose a malfunctioning 550D, using this build:

https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Experiments/job/startup-log-mpu/

Test conditions:
1) regular startup in M mode, without LiveView
2) same as above, but with the USB cable connected

Did anybody send these through? If not what is the process? Do I need to compile that build myself?

The link explains the process --

Quote
Usage:
  • start the camera;
  • you have 20 seconds to perform some action (e.g. take a picture, open Canon menu, or whatever else you wish to investigate);
  • once the LED stops blinking, you've got a log file on your card.

No need to compile, there's a link for 550D build:

Title: Canon 550d Raw Recording Crashes
Post by: Murkka on June 30, 2018, 05:26:15 PM
I get every time attached error when trying to shoot raw videos. I tried to use lower resos, below the said 21 Mb/s need speed and still I get the error. My card is R/W 45/90 Mb/s and like told the max of the camera card controller should be around 21, so why can I not shoot raw video without error?

I can mostly get the video with mlv app, regardless of the erros. And now when I tested the goodly told 960x540 at 24 fps, frames are dropped too so record stops even automatically. Sad! :(

I can not even use a reso with 16 Mb/s. And in Lantern menus, I can see it green, even about 19 - 20 Mb/s are colored green so shouldn't they work?

E: Adding attachments was impossible. Here they are on my own space: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Arh7px51ORTegysYP2E2RpvVjlws

@Murkka - If you read through the link a1ex pointed out you'll see this:

Please try the lua_fix builds and report back. It might be fixed, but I'm unable to test on this model.

Have you tried that yet? You can download it from this page:

Commit 4cf70155104c appears to fix this issue, too:

You can look up that change and see if the build you are using includes it.

Title: RAW Video Bug Fixed With Lua Fix
Post by: Murkka on July 08, 2018, 03:38:06 PM
I can happily declare that with the Lua Fix there is no error in raw recording with 550D. I used 928x522 reso which resulted (according to ML display) up to 20.1 mb/s bitrate. I recorded about 46 sec test video without any errors. All the time recording there was "Wait a while" quotation text on the upper side of the screen but like said, there was not any meaningful errors. Is it fully normal that that text is diplayed during raw rec?
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: a1ex on July 08, 2018, 04:27:03 PM
"Wait a while" - there's no such string in ML source. Also couldn't find any string that begins with "Wait" and might appear during raw recording.

What are you talking about?
Title: Re: Canon 550D / T2i
Post by: Murkka on July 08, 2018, 08:32:26 PM
It is in my native language which I just translated directly. So I think it is from Canon own text?

How can I access to the menu?

hi,
with regard to the issue in Reply #273, i too am facing this problem. i am using the latest 1.1.0 build. before installing magic lantern, when switching on the camera in photo mode, the normal display appears and the sensor cleaning will occur, which will be indicated in the right lower corner of the display. when shutting down, the sensor cleaning animation alone will be displayed. after installing magic lantern, when i switch on the camera in photo mode, there is no normal display but only the prominent sensor cleaning animation (as in shut down) and then no display, until the display button is pressed.
Also, after the LCD auto off, it can be brought back by pressing the shutter half way. but after installing magic lantern, after the LCD auto off, half pressing the shutter doesn't bring the display back. i have to press the display button to bring it back. This is a bit annoying.
After clicking some shots, i found that an empty white rectangular box appeared in the left top corner over the main display which didn't go away even after restarting the camera.
Hope this helps with troubleshooting the above said problem.
This is my first experience with magic lantern. Thanks.

Hello,
I have installed magiclantern-Nightly.2018Jul04.550D110.zip for firmware 1.1.0 of Canon EOS 550D.
I do not know what tests I can do (or how) to help improve the version (I'm a newbie user).
Can i help somehow?
Thank you.

If you have no coding knowledge, there are plenty of other ways to contribute to the project.

Test, as in really test. As if you were QC working for a software company. Don't just use ML in normal situations and submit problems when things go wrong (and don't just do another ML RAW vs. H264 test, there are more than plenty of those out there). Try to break a feature. Think of as many possible scenarios as you can. Throw everything you can think of at a feature to break it. Try every value of every setting. Try it in extremely unusual scenes or lighting. Write down your results like a scientist doing an expirement. Then share your results, even if nothing went wrong. It's also helpful for devs to know when something actually works. Test for the sake of testing, with specific intention, not for the sake of making your 'budget short film'.

If you notice a problem, figure out how to repeat it and try to isolate it to a specific build (or if you can compile, isolate it to a specific changeset). Looking at the change log on bitbucket is very helpful in doing this (look for commits related to the feature and check those builds first). This requires no coding ability at all, and can save devs a lot of time, b/c they will know exactly where in the code the problem lies. Even I can figure out bugs that would normally be way above my skill level if you tell me exactly the changeset that is causing it, in fact most of the very few patches I've submitted, I've found like this.

This has been reiterated by a1ex time after time, I'm sure he's tired of saying it. It's clear that very few people actually end up reading the 'how to report bugs' links he posts.
