So what? Nobody is forcing you to use ML, you are free to buy the EOS M2

You are also free to grab a C compiler and fix those things you are waiting for. Complaining will not help.

It's not complaining, it's a reasonable request. And the developer also committed to improve those features.

The eos m 2 is out today, equipped with WIFI features. But we are still stuck with the ML alpha build here. So honestly, can we get the eye-fi  card fix for the M or make the shooting features even more usable? Such as the magic room function and the not perfect live view auto room function? We have been waiting for them for a very long time.

I can add eyefi tricks but no clue if they work... they work on 650D no issues?

Wat is this!

Someone check this please with shutter bug and without shutter bug.

How to check? And what about the eysfi card support?

Beside, the latest build still didn't improve the live view auto room function. And I found that the live view will be triggered to auto room even by LCD touch shutter, which shouldn't involve half shutter process. Can we figure out a work around for it?

The shutter button don't work when i use rokinon fisheye lens with the EOS M adaptor. It is a manual lens and why isn't EOS M won't take a photo with Manual lens

You may have turn the camera out of P Tv Av and M modes.

Not at all. Just wish the developer could figure out the reason and solve it.

@maxotics I don't use raw video so class 10 card is already enough for me. And I also tried on another class 4 non wifi SanDisk card but the problem remains. I think it's still a firmware and software problem instead of a card problem because it doesn't involve much read and writing process when I just try to release the shutter.

Hi Haomuch, what SD card are you using?  Thanks!

An 8GB class 10 wifi SD card. Produced by ez share.

1% the 18-55 shutter problem still exist for the 7 Oct build

But also noticed that nether the magic zoom nor the live view  auto zoom function was improved in the latest version. Hope we can see a really reliable manual focus function in the future.

Yes the September 26th version killed the shuttle bug. I am very happy with that since I am kind of tried with the boker effect of big aperture fixed focal length lens recently and have come back to the simple but fast 18-55 kit. I like to take more photos of better composition and ideas with that auto focus lens later.

I just met several shutter problem with my 18-55 today and it became worse compared to earlier build. Hope this could be solved soon.

Beside, any news about the live view auto room function improvement?

Of course this is only meaningful after the vsync solved.

Well I don't think there is enough CPU for focus peaking + magic zoom. Maybe the digic peaking.

Well maybe I didn't make myself clear. My idea is that before we half press the shutter it's focus peaking. When we manual adjusted the lens close to the focus point and half pressed the shutter, the magic zoom is triggered and focus peaking is disabled. So we can continue micro adjust the focus. After we took the shoot and release the shutter, the magic zoom exist and the camera comes back to focus peaking. It's a little different from the current switch method.

Because vsync is pretty bad on EOSM.... but the other suggestions do make sense... its really bad using MZ or 10x zoom with the half shutter method (I hate it).

I also guess it's very hard to get the magic room working perfectly but I believe you can figure it out some day. I don't know if it's possible to add the trigger delay option but currently I think it could be the only work around.

BTW, even though I also hate to use the10x room function as a work around, I can actually accept to trigger the magic zoom box with half shutter press if it's not set to be always on. But I just want it only appear after the shutter half pressed and auto disappear after release the button. Just as I said before, it could help us almost use the focus peaking and then the magic zoom together. Currently these two functions can only work alone.

I have been using ML from the 1.0.6 firmware and now on 2.0.2. I had both the 18-55 and the 22. Both work for me although the 18-55 does have shutter problem for several times but a reboot simply solve it. Now I refresh to the latest ML and found some new interesting staff. Thanks very much for your work 1% as well as other contributors.

But unfortunately the magic zoom is still basically unusable and the live view auto zoom has not been improved. Which is very very annoying for me because this is a photo camera first but we can't even get a perfect way to use manual lenses on it. I don't know why it's so hard to improve these two functions. Even though the magic zoom still need some work to find out the sync method, we can at least improve the auto zoom by simply add an option to only trigger it after half pressed the shutter for a certain 0.x second. Therefore we don't need to go through the auto zoomed view every time before taking the shoot. I am very eager to see some change to that.

Also, I think it could be much better to auto trigger the magic zoom box only when half pressed and disable it when release the button. So that we can see the focus peaking before half press without being disturbed by the magic zoom function.

Just a few photos and it goes to dead when apply the effects every time for different photos.

Well I know you guys have already been stuck with the shutter problem. But unfortunately I met another bug again today. The camera gets dead when trying to apply creative effects to existed photos and can only reload the battery to save it. Tried for many times and always performs the same. Sorry for lack of dm log as I don't know how to get it. You guys may just have a try on your camera.

Seems every body is still talking about video staff. Makes me doubt if I really bought a photo camera. Anyway, I just wonder if 1% are still interested in working on the magic zoom function or improving the live view auto zoom function. Thanks again.

@1%
Maybe we can trigger the auto zoom function only by the * key so that we can take immediate shutter without half press delay. Currently both key will trigger the function.

Hello 1% I know you are busy with many other features development and may not be able to improve the magic zoom function so quickly. Therefore I have a little suggestion as a work around for the manual focus. Currently I am using the automatic zoom when half shutter in the liveview tweak function in order to precisely focus. It could be a very good substitution of the magic room function. However as I posted before this function currently works in a kind of unstable way. In many situation the liveview get automatic zoom right after the shutter half pressed. And that process just obviously delays the shutter time, which makes it difficult to capture some quick moments. So I am wondering if we can have the option to trigger that function after a certain period when half pressed the shutter and allow immediate shutter if directly pressed down it. I believe it could make this function even more useful and handy.

Of course we finally want to see an improved magic room feature since it doesn't change the view range.

The shutter can't be released without AF lens on under HDR and handle night shooting modes for example. Just like I said, it can only shoot under the first four M, Av, Tv, and P modes.

Hi today I just found that the eos m can only use manual lens with M, Av, Tv, and P modes. The shutter can't be released under other mode even it is already set to release without lenses. I just wondering if we can break this limit and allow the shutter to release under all modes?

Apparently you've managed to find and disable the exposure sim menu. Enable it and it will adjust for expo comp again.

Thanks very much for the tips. I found the exposure sim option in the ML menu and enabled it to get the real time exposure again. But I can't find the setting in the canon stock setting. Anyone know how to find it?

I don't know if it's related to the ML but yesterday I found my eos m can't show the real time exposure results when I adjust the exposure compensation. I can only see the results after taking the photo. Anyone has any idea?

They can't even provide a usable magic room focus function currently. So I think you may need to wait for a very long time.
