Title: EOS M ** Alpha 1 ** [FIXED][DOWNLOAD]
Post by: coutts on November 23, 2012, 12:36:28 AM
The EOS M port starts now! g3gg0 successfully dumped the firmware and set the bootflag, so we're all set to begin porting :)


--> More updates coming soon

Update 11/25/2012:
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33161628/ML/Pictures/EOSM_Hello.jpg)

:)




Update 12/10/2012:
Alpha1 release! Let me know what bugs you notice. Almost everything that is going to work on the M is enabled now, minus audio stuff (need more work on that). Some features won't ever work though. ie: Trap Focus - because the M doesn't send focus confirmation when in manual focus.

Update 12/10/2012 #2:
- Fixed installer (thanks Alex), no more unsafe operations (ie: try to set bootflag while in live view).



Install Procedure
Refer to Unified install page:
http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install (http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/Install)


Warning: I'm not responsible for anything that might happen. This is an EXPERIMENTAL build. Please report bugs in this thread.

I think it depends on the boot process maybe rather than on the firmware, a part from that, like you, I hope for it to work on other model too.

From Roger Cicala's review (http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2012/10/eos-m-first-impressions): the EOS-M is "a firmware update and a price drop away from being a great camera".

Now we can take care of the first part :)

I'm agree with Roger, and if ML can fix autofocusing speed (by the way I had bad hangs after enabling autofocus in ML on 600D) I'm really tempted, a price drop will be perfect! (canon, are you reading?)

BTW menu works and can be walked. Need to figure out how to work with the small amount of buttons we have (until later when we unlock how to use the touch screen). up/down/left/right can walk the menu, play/set either toggle a setting or open a sub menu. haven't enabled any features yet.

Suggestion:
- long SET press: open ML menu
- L/R/U/D/wheel: navigate (like it's now)
- PLAY: open submenu
- REC: see thru the menu (e.g. for white balance)

What does REC do in photo mode?
Title: Re: EOS M

good work Coutts!

do allow other developpers working on the EOS M, why not adding a dump feature and providing a .FIR that enable the bootflag ?

REC doesn't send an event to gui task unless in movie mode, I tried.

I'm not sure how to implement long press but could be a good idea. the center button acts like Q in shooting mode / video mode, and set button in canon menu.

too early to even give even a rough estimation if this specific feature is possible.
we are a) checking what needs to be ported and b) what users would love to see on M.
so we take this as info, but cant give you any answer.

Found a memory address that changes rapidly as i swipe my finger across the screen, so, this is the start of implementing touch buttons to ML!!

0x4D868 --> represents pin-point area on screen (x and y pixels) being touched (some mapping of high/low to represent left/right/top/bottom of screen)
0x4D810 --> value=0x11100 when screen isn't being touched, value=0x11101 when 1 finger is held touching the screen
            --> value=0x11102 with 2 fingers touching the screen
            --> value=0x11103 with 3 fingers
            --> value=0x1104 with 4 fingers! Note: only the LSB seems to be used here, other bits seem to change sometimes. but the rightmost bit always changes to match how many fingers are touching the screen.


the first address, 0x4D868 seems to map the screen like this:

top left corner of the screen = 0x0000000
top right corner = 0x00002CF
bottom right corner = 0x1DF02CF
bottom left corner = 0x1DF0000

so, lower 3 bits represent the X coordinates, from 0 to 719 (720px wide)
middle bit is always 0
upper 3 bits represent the Y coordinates, from 0 to 479 (480px tall)


Looks like touch screens won't be hard :)



also, I found something related to audio levels, these 2 addresses change with ambient noise, so they may represent audio levels:
0x3F240
0x3F244

A nice feat would be to swipe U/D/L/R for iso, sound, aperture, WB...

A way to implement settings that aren't easily available through the knobs in liveview. (I don't know how easy it is fiddle with the settings on this camera but this could be a solution)

Maybe designing a touch menu for ML, Android/IOS style :D

Is the autofocus really slow then?

Hi Guys,

Not sure if you have a welcome section, if so I will post in it next :)

The Eos M has not been enabled for tethering from Canon.  Is this something that Magic Lantern could enable? (obviously if it is succesfully ported etc)

Cheers

Title: Re: EOS M
Post by: jimijam on November 27, 2012, 03:23:08 PM
Pinch-to-zoom is already enabled in playback mode (actually, it seems to be the only way to zoom in on the photo - I find it a little irritating and would definitely like to be able to double-tap the screen to 100% zoom). I don't think I've found pinch being used anywhere else. You could possibly use it to perform the 5x or 10x zoom, but you'd have difficulty doing it without stuffing up your current af-point.

The android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.remoterelease) does not work for the eos-m (I presume it uses the tethering API).

Changing Av/Tv/ISO/exposure-comp/af-point using touch-only is very easy already. Altering the audio-recording level is a bit finnicky (or is this something the video guys set once and never really touch again?) and also it would be nice to "touch to focus" (like on a smartphone) - at the moment it's either "touch to set af point" (you then need to hit the shutter to af of course) or "touch to focus and take a photo" - nothing in-between.

Would be nice to have a way to lock/unlock the af-point to its current position as it's very very easy to touch the screen accidentally and muck up your selected point. A good option here would be if the video-record button could toggle it.... that button is currently unused in green-box or stills mode.

Could you unblock the software remote control options ?
All the EOS cameras can be operated with Canon's software SDK,
but the EOS M camera has these operations blocked in the firmware.

can't believe EOS M porting is so fast! Just donated $10 to express my excite!

As I take astronomy photos, without ML on EOS M, there are so many limitation to use it even the body provide very ideal weight and good picture quality compare to my ML installed 60D

intervometer and time lapse is so important for astro photo so i will wait!

ah. let me see if I'm going to be free to join ML developing later in December (le me working with embedded system)

lots of homework this week, so no updates for now. This weekend I'll release a dumper to allow others to develop if they wish. Maybe an early alpha soon, but I want to get some more features working so it's actually worth testing.


Small update:
Yesterday I think I found a way to block touch events, so I can disable the touch screen while in the ML menu. This way touching the screen won't interact with screen elements underneath the menu. In future releases I want to implement a touch menu for ML. Alex has talked in the past about possibly doing an iPhone-style interface with icons, which could be completely possible. I also enabled ptp support for it, for usb debugging with ptpcam (check ram values on the fly, send/receive files to/from the camera, etc). I have high hopes for this camera, I can't wait to see what it can do!

Also, some bitrate news:
The bitrate hack works! Using my class10 UHS-1 card I was able to record at ~130-150mbps without the card buffering out. This was done at qscale-14. I couldn't go any higher without it buffering out. Soon maybe I'll see what the 7D cache hack can do to these numbers.

FPS override is in it's infant state now. Still need to do some more tweaking before it works. Intervalometer seems to be working out of the box, no further fixes required. Kelvin white balance works. All vram features like focus peaking, zebras, magic zoom, histogram, waveform, vectorscope, etc are working (except ghost overlay, not sure yet). Movie logging works. Bulb exposure mode works (with manual focus selected).

That's about where we're at now. Not bad for <1 week of work

Should improve a LOT. Especially at high ISO.

This is on the 7D, but it should be representative (or even better!):

Could someone please explain to me,
what is the high bitrate hack, and if it so greatly increases video quality
why has canon not included it in their firmware ?
Is there any downsides to it ?

Basically you are recording more data per second. The more data you have, the higher the video quality. It does improve video quality considerably when quite a high bitrate is used.

Either a marketing thing or for the reasons below.

You require a faster memory card, otherwise the camera won't keep up and the recording stops. This is why we always advise to try some tests on your own memory cards before setting a high bitrate for an important shot. You won't know when the recording will stop otherwise (remember that the 4gb file limit is reached faster too). Audio also impacts the bitrate - you need to disable audio to achieve the highest bitrate.

I have a T4i, not an EOS-M, but they are similar hardware.  The T4i continues beyond the 4GB file by seamlessly starting a new file, recording up to 29:59 non-stop.  Does the EOS-M have this feature as well?

first attempt to interface with the touch screen. this is rough, sort of my first shot for an implementation. I'm sure it can be improved, but I'm just happy to see it recognizing left/right swipes now (with some glitches, but working for the most part!).

So, I think this is a big step forward for ML and future cameras.

Audio out through the HDMI cable would be great, my EOS-M does not output audio via HDMI.  My Canon Vixia HF10 Camcorder does audio out via HDMI and is very useful for us.  Thank you.

The face detection autofocus is useless.  I like to film with the 22mm lens at the largest aperture (2.0) for low light and as a result I am always getting my model's faces out of focus with manual focus since the DOF is so shallow, and if I use the autofocus it hunts and changes constantly.  The servo option turned on seems to make it worse or just add lens noise to the problem.   Suggestions welcome.  I love my two EOS-M's otherwise.

Hi coutts thanks for your work so far!

Trying to install Alpha1, using win7 (64bit):

1) After unzipping the .zip file, the "__MACOSX" and "ML" folders are in green font when displayed in explorer, indicating the folder and contents are encrypted. Not sure what's going on there, but OK..

2) When copying the files over to card (using laptop's built-in card reader and a 64GB SDXC card), explorer warns it can't keep the files encrypted, do I want to decrypt (yes). Files copy over successfully after that - the EOSM106.fir (37KB) and autoexec.bin (278KB) are in root folder.

3) When attempting to flash the fw I get "Firmware update program" "Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again." The power LED continually flashes until I press the power button and it stops blinking (but error message keeps showing). Have to yank the battery to turn it off.

(Camera works fine afterwards but ML's not installed).

Will try and find another (SD) card and see if same issue..

Edit:
"Download removed for now, installer is NOT SAFE, bricking possible. Stay tuned for updates." - OK I'll just leave that alone for a while....

Hey Coutts,

New here, but wanted to ask you how camera safe these alpha versions are?  I understand that the ML firmware itself is already developed, but when booted on new devices, what are the challenges you have been facing as far as stability?

Normally I'd wait because I am new to ML, but I am also an Industrial Design student and have a little experience with human factors on interface design and wanted to jump in and see if I couldn't join the "mind pool" and see if I could help with the progression of this product.

However, I can't help with writing firmware, so it would be incredibly naive of me to jump in during this stage to tackle something that is better off handled after stability has been reached.


Anyways, thanks for your hard work.  Looks like you've already taken on a skill-set that will land you a sweet little career after college.  Take care.


Michael

Consider it very very untested. As in prior to posting, run on 1, maybe 2 cameras. There are some built-in stability tests that run loops of operations, and a great deal of the code has been adapted from long-standing and well tested features but a good amount of it is just days and weeks old, including a brand new touch-screen input.

That being said, we always need people to test.

no need to thank me  ;)

As far as stability goes I obviously can't guarantee anything, but it's pretty stable. It passed the 15 minute stress test, and then lasted 1.5 hours on another stress test without issues (ran it until the battery died). I think it's pretty good for a first alpha.

It all depends if the SET or INFO buttons send both a PRESS and UNPRESS event (to decide whether it was a long or a short press), otherwise we're kinda screwed (on the 1100D I had to use the exposure comp. button for example)

Looking pretty damn good so far! *thumbs up*

Need some way to disable the ML info from top/bottom of LV screen but still have the other overlays (peaking/zebra/etc) showing (unless I'm missing something obvious?) as it (visually) interferes with canon's on-screen buttons which you need to access a reasonable amount.

2-finger press to bring up ML menu isn't too bad but it does move the af-point (of course). Minor issue. Shame about the movie-record button!

Screen-tap to access the ML sub-menus works well.

I abandoned the hardcore method of x/y coordinates to just using a gui_main_task event. we can detect 2 fingers touch/untouch, and maybe do more.


In regard to long hold set / another button to open/close menu: I don't know if this would be the best method, because what if you need to get into the menu quickly? then the only other quick way to close the menu would be to use the shutter button.

Currently, 2 fingers tapped anywhere on screen will open/close the menu and 1 finger tapped anywhere opens/closes submenus in the ML menu. This is the most efficient method I could think of, and we really don't have any buttons (also reason that ML menu is disabled during recording: can't see most button events).

Just pushed a new commit:
https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/b2c2890f595f1912cb76396d7905f0fa9719cec9

I finally fixed it so that ML only draws the top/bottom bars when the canon on screen elements are cleared. This also makes all ML overlays only draw when the canon gui is hidden, perfect! One bug to fix still: even though canon UI is hidden, moving the scroll wheel makes canon UI pop back up. Need to find a way to disable that.

I'm not familiar with working with a hack, so I hope you guys don't mind a couple questions. And please excuse my programming ignorance.

- What limitations do we have with interacting with Canons UI
- What limitations do we have with altering Canons UI
- Can we place controls on the main UI that have ML functions
- Are touch controls for x,y coordinates looking likely, and are visual cues for those functions also likely
- Are layers possible for touch controls, and can layers be given priorities
- Is there a way to assign the ML menus a variable [for lack of better words] so that when the ML menu is opened, all the buttons and scroll wheels function within that same variable essentially creating and isolated system for button assignments?


Also, is the ML menu open to alterations?

Also, is the ML menu open to alterations?

1) none really, ML can replace strings in the menu and we can hijack dialogs.
2) can't do much more than replace strings AFAIK, but it could have changed
3) First 2 basically answer this
4) x/y coordinates are available for 2 fingers (can read coordinates for both fingers in real time). problem is syncing a task with it. I abandoned that route and just stuck with the gui events sent for touches.
5) Sure, but this has to be written from the ground up. feel free to give it a try :)
6) the problem is we can't always see button presses. it's especially bad on the M with the lack of buttons, so we're basically doing the best we can right now.

Still tracking down how the whole AF system works, it's pretty low level stuff so I wouldn't expect any advances on the M autofocus for a while (months, years?!?). For now I'm more concentrated on getting the port fine-tuned for stable release status.

Interesting.. I don't own the 18-55mm STM so i didn't know this was an issue. Do you have the EF adapter? Can you verify if this happens with any other lenses? Check the lens contacts to make sure they're clean of dirt / contaminants (just in case that's the issue).

to get myself familiar with the internals of magic lantern and hopefully at some point contributing to development, I tried to build ML form source (unified branch), on Mac with Mountain Lion and dependencies installed, but the build-notes I found on the web seemed to me a bit out of date. Well, I could successfully compile it (just "make", no build target specified), for some platforms even an autoexec.bin got created, but not for the EOS M. So what are the buildsteps required to build ML for canon EOS M from source ?

call "make EOSM", or "make 6D", or "make 5D2", etc. running make alone builds all platforms. what's the error?

Calling make alone builds all stable platforms, and the EOSM port is far from stable ;)

ok, make EOSM works, next problem:

make installer -C installer/EOSM.106/

python ../../../dumper/build_fir.py -r ../../../dumper/5D300113.FIR updater.bin EOSM106.fir
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '../../../dumper/build_fir.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory


according to some discussions on google group I should be able to wget from somewhere a prebuilt  .fir, but I did not found anywhere a link to such a .fir.

where can I get it ?

I think I got it: I do not necessarily need to "make installer -c ...", I only have to "make EOSM" and then just overwrite on the SD card the autoexec.bin with the new one.

The reason I wanna mess around with source code is to try to connect the EOS M via ptp (if possible) with an arduino hardware (which controls also other peripherals) and from there to have access to ML commands and vice versa. But I need first to get more familiar with all things involved, so it might take a while until I am getting there ...

Why don't we use the on-screen "Q" quick menu button to open ML since we have a button for that on the dial already?  It's a cleaner function behaviorally than the 2 finger tap, in my opinion.

Edit:  Alternatively, is it also possible to use the pinch-to-zoom function during live-view [not playback] and open ML very much in the same way you open an album on an iPad?  Expanding from a pinch function with a threshold for "snaping" open.  I think the Q button is still cleaner, but the pinch could be another method that is still fairly intuitive for opening

Yep your first firmware flash must be done on a <=32gb card in order to set the flag inside the camera. After that's done you can use any sized card (e.g 64gb) provided you've also prepared that card using the tool (forgot name). But yeh... need to beg/borrow/steal a smaller card for the first flash.

touching the screen sends the same GUI event no matter where you touch it, the only difference is if you use 1 or 2 fingers to tap. Plus, the 2 finger tap anywhere is for fast access, then you're not hunting for a button that you hid off the screen because you have the ML overlays showing and canon ones hidden.

Post by: buglamp on December 21, 2012, 11:36:09 PM
Live View Zoom - in the preferences section can be activated via half press of the shutter button when in manual focus.

Focus Peaking in ML - could it be activated the same way?

Reasoning being that the focus peaking seams to be the fastest way to focus compared to zooming but it uses a lot of cpu.  Also what if Global Draw is disabled, does everything still render offscreen or could the entire ML HUD and overlays be shown and start rendering on shutter half press?

If we could halfpress to fuzz up the scene in the areas we want in focus then commit with full press it would be excellent

Thanks, it works for me now. Everything looks pretty good. Here's what I think can be improve:

1) halfpress shutter for magic zoom (not Liveview zoom) just like it was with the 5D.

2) The canon display for exposure, record time, and battery appears when making adjustments and it seems redundant with the ML display. I don't supposed we can turn off Canon display but perhaps we can have a simple screen layout without the ML info.

In terms of pulling up the ML menu, I like the idea suggested with hitting menu twice but I also wouldn't mind sacrificing the the exposure lock (*) or shooting mode button for ML menu (or both so we can have a button for shortcuts). The two finger tap is not bad though, I notice I can stick my thumb diagonally across the screen with pretty much my palm acting as a second finger to pull the menu up pretty quickly. Everything else looks pretty solid, can't wait until the audio functions are working. Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Hey!

Over the xmas break, i had a chance to use ML on my EOS-M.  First of all, very easy to install, and uninstall.  Thanks for that.  I took some extra long exposures, HDR shots, and used the intervalometre.  I love the zebra'as and focus peeking.  It was fantastic.  But I had to remove it.  In normal operation some times the shutter will not release, and remains inoperative. You must turn off the camera, take our the battery, wait a while, then MAYBE it might work again. I know the EOS-M is slow, but after i did this a number of times, those moments i wanted to capture were long gone.  It now lives on my cards for times when i might want to use it, but generally now remains uninstalled.

There is no option to turn off exposure simulation in EOS M. I've found a solution to overcome that problem, instead of using manual i use aperture priority and set flash sync fixed at 1/200.

I was shooting a timelapse using FPS override and it left these nasty vertical line over the entire frame, particularly noticeable when it got darker. I don't remember my exact setting but I'm pretty sure I was using low ISO like 100 or 200 so it's not just noise. I think I was doing 0.25 FPS and 0.15 FPS. Anyone else experience this or know why this might be happening? I'll upload footage later tonight.

I just wanted to add my voice as another new EOS M owner who - while I read every review that mentioned the slow AF speed - still went ahead and made a purchase.

I'm a novice camera owner. I've had a series of compact camera, had a foray into DSLRs with the Canon 300D (Digital Rebel in the USA) and have decided that my perfect camera is small, has interchangeable lenses and takes pictures like a DSLR.

The EOS M has taken amazing picture after amazing picture. The quality of the output is astonishing. Almost any creative shot I can image, it's been able to take with very little intervention from me. This is an amazing piece of kit. BUT I have small, fast-moving children. So the slow AF is going to become a big deal, I reckon.

After googling firmware updates that I hoped would fix the AF speed, I stumbled across ML and this forum.

My #1 request is that the team take a look at the AF speed. If there's any help I can provide to facilitate (money, beer, UI design, etc...), please just let me know.

Unfortunately this isn't a very feasible request; it's not as simple as enabling movie mode on the 50d, or enabling some hidden "switch", someone would need to write a whole new focusing algorithm and learn how canon's current one works. For this, I don't even have a clue where to start. So, short answer: don't expect this to happen (probably ever, or for a long long time).




Some bad news today: it looks like display filters, and anything that requires syncing from state objects won't work on the EOSM. This means anamorphic, and defishing, and the (more efficient) new method to sync magic zoom. Even if I adopted the 5d2 method for display filters, we still can't sync them properly so it's not really worth figuring out right now.


Unfortunate.. I had higher hopes for this camera.

Great news! I think enough people complained that they paid $800+ for a camera that can hardly focus (lately I just manual focus.. it's far more reliable than the autofocus).

Couldn't tell you how many times I'd go to take a photo of a group of people, and stand there for a good 15-20 seconds waiting for the focus to stop hunting (in decently lit situations too).

I don't have a huge beef with the AF, but focus peaking has really saved the camera.  I'm lucky enough to have some Leica M Mount and Canon M39 lenses that work really well and help keep the camera small. 

This reminds me...I'd like to make a donation to the cause, I find a number of links to PayPal from Googling, but it's not clear which one supports your efforts.  If you could provide a link it'd be greatly appreciated.

One thing I noticed with the EOS M is that if I leave the battery in, it sometimes drains it which was not an issue with my 5D. I do pop the battery out after each use. One of my batteries recently stopped working altogether. It won't hold a charge anymore and it was not left in the camera when it stopped working. I don't know if this is an affect of ML at all but I thought I point it out anyway in case there's a bug.

It is, but I haven't messed with that feature yet myself. 

I have a couple of questions of my own.  Are the Audio & Focus menus missing because they are not ready for the M yet?  And when will they be ready.  Also, when will the next Alpha build go out?  Thanks for all the quick work in porting ML for the M so far.

1%, I did a bit of searching but I don't really understand what af prop adjustment is or what to do to fix the shut down bug.

As for timelapse, the intervolameter works flawlessly but fps override has vertical steaks with lowlight like with the example  I previously posted, not sure why that is.

The first post mention audio is not ready and things like trap focus may never work.
Title: Re: EOS M ** Alpha 1 ** [FIXED][DOWNLOAD]
Post by: 1% on March 02, 2013, 07:29:14 PM
I bet 5d3,m,650d, 6D all have the "streaks". I've got some of the why on it and will probably post pics in the future.


Basically when fps override too high, the image falls over to the right. Set it just right and you can see (and sometimes reconstruct) the diagonal image, purple color and all. When its too low the buffer is pushed the other way and you get streaks/distortion from missing vertical data. Shows up in raw, lv, PTP and everything so its an actual sensor sampling timing problem.

Making the 2nd timer actually change or finding its location will be key. I don't know why the engio writes have no effect when I find the correct fps table. It does some kind of funky mode switching with the tables that is probably wrong on the new cameras.

If this is fixed you get like 40fps in "full hd" and 80fps in 60P.

For the shutdown bug, devs with the camera will probably have to figure it out. Not present on 6D and probably 5d3.

Would it be possible to move the focus point by touching the screen when the lens is in MF mode through Magic Lantern?

Currently I use the M with AF set to *, AF + MF, and FlexiZone single. With Magic Zoom set to AF point at 2:1 this works awesome on USM and the 22 STM kit lens since they are all full time manual focus. A very spontaneous camera setup this way. Unfortunately lenses that aren't full time manual focus like my 50 1.8 and 35 f2 this doesn't work since the lens communicates to the camera it is MF the points are no longer moveable.

Just loaded ML on my EOS M. It seems to have loaded ok and can see the overlay.
I tried the trash button to bring up the ML menu but no luck
I know this seems simple. how do I open the ML menu? can't find it anywhere

Set custom function 6 to 2: ISO Speed then when the ISO menu pops up touch the escape icon

tap 2 fingers on the screen at the same time ;)

1 finger tap is same as Q, to open submenus.

Coutts, I've pushed a fix for movie restart. Can you check it too?

Hi,

is there a procedure to disable ML on startup? Holding the SET button doesn't work as with some other cameras.

Is there a way to auto-focus every few images, instead of every image using the intervalometer? I either need that ability or the ability to send commands over PTP. Otherwise I'll have to purchase another camera.

I'd appreciate any information you guys can offer.

You can try with PicoC scripting; no idea how well it works on the M. You'll have to compile ML yourself.

Re-run the .fir and switch the top dial when asked. Then do a low level format of the card

Hi guys,
Thanx for all your hard efforts. I think my problem seems to be unique so I decided to have it written here. I have EOS M with 1.06 firmware and ML installed on a 64GB card. I am trying to get a constant timelapse but the camera becomes unresponsive after 2 or 3 days. The camera mentioned a shoot malloc when I was trying to format the card (keeping the ML)

Is it the same problem with the shutterbug that is being discussed in various topics or is it something new?
would installing 2.02 fix that?
Would changing the card to 32GB fix that?

I am running a test with the same features but on a 32GB card I would let you know the results in a few days but if there is anyone who has already tried it can save my time and would be appreciated

John: Thanks for the list but I didn't see the EOS M on the list?  I havn't gotten the camera yet, but they are now pretty inexpensive,  just trying to make sure I can use ML, like I do on my 550, for time lapse.
Thanks,
Gary
