Hello,
first of all thanks to you developers to do this amazing job!

I'd like to now if you can add to the blues underexposer and the red overexposer a third zebra which is green and shows the right exposure?

The background is that I know camera operators from TV channels who set the zebra to 70% which then indicates if the faces of the protagonists have the right brightness. For TV channels this should be around 70%. Especially if the lighting conditions change you can have a similar exposure with the 70% zebra setting. I really like to work like this. But I also like the overexposure and the underexposure zebra and I don't want to miss them

If it's possible to add this zebra it would be great to have an easy option to activate/deactivate all zebras while filming. Because with 3 zebras it's hard to see the pictures behind ;-)

A lot of talking about zebras... I am interested in your answers.

Oh I did not know that its possible to contol audio with the DISP-button. So This will work only with audio control by ML? Like I said, I used the "normal" 2.3 ML firmware with my 600d and there is no audio-support for 600d. I thought of controlling the canon manual audio control with magic lantern. but now I think I don't need it any more. (sorry: hard to describe, I am not a native english speaker)

Today I came back from a 4 weeks filming session for a documentary.I used the normal 2.3ML without the features you added because I had to be sure that everything works. In this time I had one day to test 0.5 Alpha release of ML for 600d with audio enabled and I really liked it.
Now after having my 4 weeks praxis test I really like to have one feature: controling the mic gain while recording. This feature is essential especially for documentaries. I can't set up my camera befor recording. Everything has to be set while filming. So what's about changing the gain with the wheel while pressing Q? Would be a great feature for the ML-600d-audio version.

...also following things are not working:
starting camera with audio override off, audio monitoring on and headphones connected: display keeps off
audio monitoring without audio override works only if first audio override is activated and afterwards deactivated. then you can monitor the sound without audio override till you are in the magic lantern menu and half press the shutter

Thanks for doing this!
I just tested 0.4. The audio monitoring works but there seems to be a problem with overriding audio and audio metering. When I activate Audio Override the sensitivity metering of the metering is extremely low but the input volume is normal. I have to increase the analog gain to 60db to get red bars in the metering. But audio starts popping at 15db. At 60db audio is much too sensitive and metering seems just right.
I use an external Rode Stereo Video Mic Pro and Headphones for monitoring which are connected to the canon A/V cable via two adapters. My setting for the POutput Volume is 11db.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately I do not have the skills to combine the code or to convert the code to a finished firmware.
I don't wanted to stress you, of course you are doing this stuff in your free time and it needs time...
So good luck!

Hey guys,
thanks for the great work you are doing. Monitoring the sound from 600d is the last option which leads to the perfect cam.
I have one question: I read this topic and all pages and I saw that you gays made a big step forward. But I cant get if you have already a stable monitoring solution. I saw some videos with the audio-menu enabled in the 600d, so is it also possible for me to enable it? What do I have to do? I don't need the other Audio stuff right now (although it would be great to have it later), but monitoring sound would be great right now, because i am starting filming in two weeks.
Where can I donat?
