Hey,
I often shoot videos and fotos of the same subject, and I have to switch all of the settings every time (go in menu, change the mode to Photo ExpSim, then change shutter and aperture...).
I know there is the setting preset but I find it a bit inconvenient because when you switch for it if you're still in video mode, the shutter can't go under 1/33th of second, and sometime it gives ma the wrong temperature of color (from yesterday for instance).
So by any chance would there be a way to switch in one click ? That would be a huge time saver, to be honest.
Thank you.
Config presets: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8499.0
Prefs -> Customize Menu (ML's MyMenu)
And a little helper for rebooting: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14828.msg161005#msg161005 (Deactivate all Lua scripts you don't intend to use to speed up reboot.)
If the number of settings you want to switch is fairly small, you could write a Lua script that does the switch.
@redcrit
To illustrate what A1wx says, if you look at my latest Lua script, you will see how simple it is to set different ML menu items.

Also look at my toggler script that cycles around different ML menu configurations.

BTW I'm not a programmer, but Lua has a low entry bar :)
Okay I am gonna check that out, thank you guys.
Well, well, well I am kinda confused, wouldn't there be by any chance some kind of tutorial to follow ? Because I am kinda lost to be honest.
How can I create a lua script that basically change me from photo to video mode and set different shutter speed and aperture ?
EDIT : Oh okay I got it ! Nice, I got it looking in the config files in Prefs, I am gonna try it out.
