yeah, I also suspect it was a hardware issue. It was the bump that definitely triggered it, I was just a bit concerned that it was ML that caused the camera to hang after the initial bump... especially since on reboot ML settings were flushed. Might be unrelated though.

camera is fine now (phew.)

can't find anything on the internet about this issue, so I'm just crossing my fingers that it was a one time thing that never happens again, and I'll try to avoid moving my tripod while recording in the future...

Hello all,

I was on a shoot today filming with the 5Dm2 and the latest version of magic lantern. About 6 minutes into a clip, I bumped the tripod/camera slightly on the floor, which was apparently enough to stop recording. The screen went black, and was getting some flashing on the number of images remaining (top panel.) Turning off/on had no effect (the top panel remained on), so I popped out the battery and put it back in.

upon turning on, there was a flicker apparent in live view, which lasted for about 5 minutes.

yet, the most disconcerting thing was that the file I recorded just flat-out disappeared. No corrupt file on the card, no gap in file names... it's as if I never recorded something I know I did. In addition, my magic lantern settings appeared to be flushed (ML was still on the card, but no focus peaks as I had them set.)

Is there any way to get this back, or is the footage gone? I apologize if this is not an issue related to ML (not sure... had to take out the battery when shooting B-roll previously on the camera, pretty sure it was ML.)

Thanks!

Hi,

I am a professional documentary filmmaker, and can't thank you all enough for your great work in creating Magic Lantern. I have filmed across the word with the 60D and 5Dm2, and have come to rely especially on the audio meters and focus peaks. Really helps in fast-paced, unpredictable situations.

I want to put in a word for the 6D, as I believe there is going to be a large number of people who switch over from 60D/7D to full frame when it comes out. It's clearly aimed at a video market, and the addition of magic lantern to its full frame sensor would make it the best video DSLR out there (timecode+5dm3 sensor is just fantastic for $2k.) Thank you so much for everything!
