Hi, just arrived and started; interested in photography only. Maybe i am overlooking it but:

Understood Level Indicator is working on some models, but not on 5d2, would be nice though.
A countdown display in Bulb mode would be nice as well.

No clue how to do it, just sugesting.
Regards
R.

Thanks a1ex, i think i mastered it now... so far... 

"Make sure you have a RAW video module loaded and active when in movie mode LV."

Bloody hell, i think this was the problem! I put LV/Movie func + photo and movie in Canon menu active.
Now i can see a hist in LV. It is in the left corner down. Is in LV no zebra shown?

"Make sure you have a RAW video module loaded and active when in movie mode LV."

I never will use video, but have MLV_REC running since i understand this is required.

"Also, for camera display capture, look at the screenshot option in the debug menu.  This generates screenshots like the ones I created for the raw based exposure feedback tutorial."

AHA that makes sense. Reckon i can find them with a card reader?! Thanks.

I see for example: D10.1 in hist  and -3.9EV in the middle.
The embedded jpg hist differs completely!

Hi Walter Schulz, first of all it is not me not believing you! It is me struggling to get this working.

I try to remember the graphic that pop ups direct after clicking,  and compare the histogram from embedded JPEG. They differ.

I am happy to sent a photo. I only posses 1 camera so i have to find someone to help.
You need this 2 stages photographed or is more required?
And i have no clue how to upload...

A clean install.
Compared the hist. in quickview with the one in "backview" they show a different graphic.
All the settings are as shown in http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12096.0 and incl. the tips above.

In the hist are sometimes E or D10.5 shown. But not the word RAW though

Well i have RAW histogram now when taken a photo. But not during LV, pushing Q or INFO doesn't change that.

When i push INFO a white "expSim" with a line drawn through it, turns up.

  Finally got my install.

I notice i need to use the one and only CF card that i used to install the very  first time.
A different one will not work.
Is this common?

Hi again, i am strugling with reinstalling ML. This is what i've done:

* cleared all canon settings
* uninstalled ML by formatting in Canon menu while press Q. as read in http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=4724.msg27699

* format CF in camera
* ML SETTINGS folder : ettr.cfg + magic.cfg where left over, deleted them by laptop.
* put the ML files in CF root
* start 5d2- nothing happens except Canon menu is working well

Used another CF with another cardreader, same results.

I reckon autoexec isn't working... Could the problem be caused by the cardreader? Due circumstances i have used 3 different cardreaders till now...

"If it still doesn't work, can you take a short video showing the histogram settings and then taking a photo."
i will try that first, when i can figure out how to take a video. Since i am really only interested in stills.

- I have image review always set on long time exposing.

- Pressing INFO popups a line with same info as written under the preview image. And a white bordered rectangle is shown for max 1 sec. I suppose there is where the histogram should appear. But it is empty, just the white border with the rest of the photo in it.

- Raw recording module is loaded and active I guess: the  bullet is green and it says OK

I will  delete the entire contents of my card, and copy a freshly extracted nightly build zip to it. I will report after, but not sure when due circumstances.

Thanks for looking into this! 

Unloaded raw_rec v1.0 and loaded mlv_rec.mo  v2.0 , but makes no difference.

thanks Audionut,
i did:
loaded raw_rec v1.0 = ok (restarted twice)
OVERLAY = histogram/use raw histogram/ full histogram (Was already active.)

I'm afraid i am still missing something, pushed all the buttons while in LV, no RAW histogram pops up nore in Photo mode Live View, nore in the Quick Image review.

BTW i am only interested in taking photos.

Thanks a1ex. 

I am puzzled now. The main reason why i am trying to get ML working is the raw histogram feature. I had no clue ML is also showing an jpg based histogram as well. Fooled because of the difference with the Canon histogram display and that AETTR was working. Now i understand i still have been watching the jpg display.

However; now i understand RAW hist. is only seen in LV. Although i have the same settings as shown in OVERLAY pics on  http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12096.0 it doesn't come up. Only the horizontal info at the bottom is shown on my 5d2. What am i missing??

searched on "display raw histogram"  (Sorry, no matches were found)

    Hi how is it possible to review the ML histogram of previous made raw photos?
Quote from:Audionut
No, not currently.  There is a thread about in the feature request section IIRC.

Hi i am not sure if you guys know but i noticed pushing the Q while review previously photos pops up the histogram. It looks like the ML histogram.

I have no clue what you mean by that,  which forum rule did i exactly violate?

Could somebody please react on my issue? 

Yes, LV button is working again. It was disabled by software, no hardware problem, happily  .

"Have you tried to reset all Canon settings (including C.Fn) and ML set to default, too?"
not yet.... (hate to go through the menu again to re-custom 

Do you think this could solve the problem of  exposure  portrait photos vertical in the display in stead of horizontal.
Auto rotating not working is really annoying.

All my customed settings were changed after updating ML. So rechanged them.

Only auto rotating of vertical images doesnot work anymore although selected in 5d2 menu . What now?

Report results.

did like told. Vers 29 jan is now on.
LV button still does not react.

Tried to update the 15 jan with the 29 jan on 5d2.
Can't.
LV button doesnot react, dustbin  does not react.
Camera still seems to be working, but takes longer to start.

Should u use the very same CF card as you used to install?

o

  Is this suposed to be an answer on my question???

Yes. No. No.

Hi, before i saw a message how to install ML on card and on camera.  I remember something like put in M- mode, and use full  battery, but can't find this info no more.
Did install method change?
Is it possible to put ML on the cf card when the camera is connected to an laptop? Instead of using a card reader?
