Tragic Lantern / Re: 50D and 40D Raw video
October 20, 2013, 09:31:29 PM
Another quick brain-picking-

I'm recording h264. I can't seem to get ML back to tethering it's white balance to Canon Custom WB- It's stuck on the Kelvin adjustment. This forces me to manually determine my white balance to match my other camera rather than just using my grey card with Custom WB and tweaking (if need be) from there on the kelvin scale.

How do I get back to just tethering to Canon Custom WB?

Thanks.

Tragic Lantern / Shutter Speed w/ FPS Override (h264)
October 14, 2013, 08:41:40 PM
This is just another n00b question which most likely has a very simple answer.

I am recording h264 w/ fps override @ 23.976, ISO 100, f/1.8.

Magic Lantern displays that the shutter speed is 1/48 (the amount I am after, to achieve standard cinematic motion blur) while the analog display on my camera displays 1/80.

Which is the accurate reading, and if ML's is not, how do I get 1/48 or 1/50? Do I use the Canon reading over ML's?

I read the EXIF data from the movie and sure enough it reads that the capture shutterspeed was 1/80. (1/83, to be exact.)

Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Tragic Lantern / Raw Modules...
August 17, 2013, 11:46:43 PM
Hey guys,

So, I don't know how I did it before, but I had raw video recording working smoothly on my 50D with the 2.3 stable release...

I recently formatted all my cards, and when i reinstalled ML the "M" menu and modules were nowhere to be found. After troubleshooting, the closest I got was installing 2.3 to a card, and then overwriting the EOS_DIGITAL/autoexec.bin and ML/modules files on the card with Andy600's latest Tragic Lantern 2.0 build files-

I got my module menus back and raw video capabilities, but ML kept crashing before I could even try to record.

:'(

Can anyone link me to a self-contained build that has working modules/autoexec.bin so i don't have to rearrange a bunch of crap to get raw_rec working?

I'm really looking forward to trying out a new anamorphic lens.

Thanks all.

Aha. Thanks. I didn't realize you could record without loading the modules.

Hi.

I am currently working with Magic Lantern on the 50D. I have some lengthy projects I intend to shoot in h.264, is there a way to record JUST h.264 video on the 50D without recording RAW?

Thanks!

EDIT: **False alarm, thankfully.


I thought I bricked my camera. I succesfully recorded and edited a raw .dng file at 1152 x ~~ continuously in 3:1. Somehow my camera was turning on even though the battery was nearly totally dead- The screen should have displayed the "change the battery pack" dialogue like it normally does once a camera is past a charge able to sustain basic camera functions-

There was no signal running to the viewfinder, but the shutter, when depressed, would make the flash pop up in any dial setting and fire off rapidly.

Scared me for a minute. So, another happy ML user here.
