My M is always with me... 

Here is : http://www.filedropper.com/eosm_1

- 1080p25 stby
- 1080p25 rec
- 720p50 stby
- 720p50 rec

If you need something else, tell me.

Thank you a1ex,

I think there's no need for "simulREC"... Or maybe just to trick the M with a fake (unusable) H.264 rec and get 3x3 sampling in 1080p mode.

For the redraw issue i can try and report here, thank you.

You're welcome.

Great tool and working offline ! I've copied the 2 files to my phone and tablet and it's working with Chrome ! 

[What are nightly builds?]

Sorry for you, but :

What are nightly builds?

- Nightly builds are binaries compiled from the latest source code, automatically, whenever there are any changes to the main branch (unified).
- It's pretty close to a rolling release, and that's all we've got for now - there are no plans for a stable release in the near future.
- However, the nightly builds can now be considered somewhat stable, and if something important breaks, it's usually fixed quickly if you report the issue.

What are the disadvantages of nightly builds?

- You may be running untested code. New developments now happen in branches, and what ends up in the nightly builds is usually tested by the developers on at least 2 or 3 camera models. However, we no longer have the time and resources to test every new feature on every camera model.
- Some features may not work as expected - please report bugs here.
- No documentation - the only help for new features is a small line of text, and ML source code.
- No guarantees - if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

There is something i don't understand about RAW with EOS M... (and have searched the forum  )

This document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQ2MOkAZTFHdFFIcFp1d0R5TzVPTVJXOEVyUndteGc#gid=5 says that EOS M "can record FullHD only when also recording H.264"

So do i need to set it to 720p in the Canon menu to work correctly ? I've not seen any difference in the results when tryed both 1080p and 720p mode.
Is the Canon menu setting make any difference in RAW recording ?

And about FPS : It's mandatory to use FPS override to get something another than LV approx 30 fps, right ?

Another question (maybe bug ?) :

In photo mode, when i set M mode and use AETTR (configured in HalfS DblClick) the "ETTR..." symbol in LV never disappear. But, if i set Av mode, it's ok, it disappear (as usual) after the mesurement is done.

Read the doc : http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0

EOS M max write speed is around 40 MB/sec.

Thank you !

a) the max SD card write speed is about 21MB/s
b) the max selectable resolution in crop mode is 2512x1080

a) Yes, max 21 MB/s with a fast card exFAT formatted   
b) No, max selectable crop is 2496x1080

Nice tool, thank you !

Maybe can you add 60D ? 

Yes, 10 bits

Understood, but ML will not give you RAW through HDMI so there's no difference...

I am not able to compile this stuff myself so a link to the would be great.

No need to compile, just download the modules from the 1st post and place it in the "modules" folder of your card et voilà !

And pleeeeeaaaaase RTFM !!!

Hi Pauline and welcome here ! It's a pleasure to see a woman in this forum.

There are no stupid questions... 

- Put your camera to M and manual ISO.
- Enable ETTR and set it to SET trigger. (i prefer HalfS DblClick)
- Compose your scene and press SET (or HalfS DblClick) WHILE pointing your scene.
- The camera go to liveview and do AETTR.
- When the camera return to viewfinder view take your picture.

That's all !

I didn't find any topic related to aviation photography neither planespotting

I love planes too !  ;-)
ML used here (Focus patterns for AF tracking) : http://www.vertigopix.ch/photo/reportages/air-14/

Welcome here,

Christian

Or maybe a Swiss cheese fondue ?   

One scenario I can think of where it would be useful is when shooting H.264 with Cinestyle. I know you can use a workaround i.e. enable MLV, expose with raw metering, disable MLV and record but if it's possible for raw metering anytime it would be good to have the option.

Great idea !

@BennTech

You're "Just Arrived" here and start screaming...
Maybe you can also quietly talk about your concerns without thinking that ML want to f*ck you. (as you wrote)

Here is the proof :

some of which are once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities

Are you storing all your pictures on your SD card or are you thinking that ML will kill your entire job and erase your backups ?

Cool, relax, have a break, have a KitKat... 

@dmilligan,

You're right, my mistake... ;-)

and when a new version exist, go to mlvfs base directory and type

Code Select Expand

git pull

after this

Code Select Expand

make clean
make


And you can copy the new version to /usr/bin (you need to kill the process before updating)

How to kill 

Code Select Expand

ps -e | grep mlvfs
sudo kill <process number>


@mario1000

Open Terminal Emulator and type :

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

git clone https://bitbucket.org/dmilligan/mlvfs

cd mlvfs
cd mlvfs   (yes, 2 times !)

make clean
make

sudo cp mlvfs /usr/bin

Create the fuse.conf file and add the 'user_allow_other' value into it

Code Select Expand

echo "user_allow_other" | sudo tee -a /etc/fuse.conf


If everything is ok, you can create 2 folders (eg. mlv-in and mlv-out)

Code Select Expand

mkdir /home/<YOUR_NAME_HERE>/mlv-in
mkdir /home/<YOUR_NAME_HERE>/mlv-out


and now, you can launch mlvfs !

Code Select Expand

mlvfs -f /home/<YOUR_NAME_HERE>/mlv-out --mlv_dir=/home/<YOUR_NAME_HERE>/mlv-in -o allow_other

Don't close the terminal, open a browser and type : 'http://127.0.0.1:8000'

Magic as a lantern ! 

No and i think that this will never happen...

it's the entire source tree.

In "platform" you can get the autoexec.bin and in "modules" you gan get ...modules !
