240mhz with the new build and the old sd hack is working for me on eos M.
Anyone else have it working?

Stops immediately after a second on my Sandisk Extreme PRO 170 MB/s with 240 MHz

I bought again an EOS M but I can't find a way to work with it, only HD 1080 works, the other setting frtp are freeze, no preview, can't even record.

What Build are you using? Make sure you're not shooting 30 FPS. Disable AF in Canon Menu or on lens. Disable FPS Override.

Danne heres HDMI output when i record 2.8k in this new version, half of the screen is pink stripes

To fix that PINK HDMI screen: in ML tab 3, go to 'customized buttons', Disable x3 Crop Toggle and Focus Aid

At 2.5k frtp (that is a resolution that i use) the result as the same of Nibby99.
At this point i try to change something in Canon Menu as the language (i am italian) and video system from PAL to NTSC, and I also change the resolution of recorded video at 720p or less with strange results.

Don't record 720p as the results are very bad. 1080 or 5K FRTP should work fine with monitors, select 10 bit. With 2.5K HDMI it will have a small box on the left which is normal as this is showing the correct liveview rather than full liveview with a crop. Don't worry about the glitch at the bottom, as long as you can see the correct liveview framing it will be fine. I've been using this mode a lot.

Interesting 
Sounds like a nice Powerbank, especially @70 Grams! These things are game changer for the EOS M. Just wished they made shorter DC Cables.

I use this dummy adapted for the EOS M:

The built-in protective IC of the mini adapter has multiple safety protections to protect the camera from excessive current, overheating and overcharging.

I talk about my monitor settings for the EOS M in this video @9:04

I'm using Dianne's latest June 2021 build. However it doesn't seem to be up on Bitbucket right now.

At this point i will test the "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_raw_only_2021Feb04.EOSM202.zip"

Tap the screen to access quick presets and use 2.5K HDMI Preset. The original 2.5K will cause lots of dropped fames. 5K FRTP or 1080 should be okay too with Danne's latest build. I use the Feelworld F5/F6 Plus and also Portkeys. 2.5K HDMI is my favourite with monitors. 

Great!
FPS override doesn't work too well with all modes unfortunately, especially when using monitors. 2.5K HDMI is a nice mode 👌

try last build in 1080p, and only when sound off it's free of pink frame when sound is on footage get couple of pink frames, not many 3-4 for 4 minutes of footage.

Haven't experienced this in a while.
Make sure you're not shooting 30fps by accident. Also, this could be so in 1080 high fps mode, use normal 1080 instead if so.

Alright, so the previous monitor I used was the Feelworld F6 PLUS which caused the issue mentioned, this time I tested the Feelworld F5. Everything is fine now. Using the F6 again, oddly it's now fine on the Monitor, no graphic issues.

All modes display correctly as on the EOS M Screen. Just dropped frames for the high resolutions as expected. 1080 & 5K FRTP are perfect for monitoring. Thanks a lot!

Yes that's right.
Older builds produce corrupt frames in all modes.
1:1 Real-time Framing is correct, no half purple screen on the monitor.

Newer build, 1080/5K FRTP work with no dropped frames. 1:1 modes are Anamorphic-stretched like the old Anamorphic mode and half of the monitor shows pink on the right side although this is not recorded in the file.

Also Framing is disabled, even when pressing info1 when connected to the monitor to switch between the framings.

Tested the previous Feb build. Got dropped frames in 1080 mode.

2.5K/2.8k look good on the monitor as the EOS M Liveview, no purple frame issues on the monitor.

They look nice and clean, although "INFO1" button for framing when connected to the monitor doesn't work. ML Framing doesn't work in general with monitors.

Yes 1080 & 5K FRTP are working perfectly so far better than the previous build. I don't get dropped frames anymore, not even one in 1080. Previous builds were much more frequent with dropped frames in 1080 and sometimes in 5K FRTP.

I never had an issue with the focus pixels showing up on display but they're not as visible, if at all.

Yeah with the 1:1 modes show produce a half-purple screen, but it's no big deal as they have very frequent dropped frames.

hey Danne, NEW 2021 Jun26 Build tested on the EOS M & Feelworld F6 Plus Monitor. Good news!

Focus pixels are very muted in the middle of the display monitor hard to see which is good.

After recording a sequence of 2-minute clips at 1080 3x3, NO dropped frames at all, ZERO.

5K FRTP Mode works, made sure to record overblown highlights and overexpose for the test. NO dropped frames for 3 minutes and a few other clips

With the other 1:1 modes e.g. 2.5K, 2.8K etc half the screen is pink/purple towards the right side and there is no real-time correct preview, they're all Anamorphic stretch. When recorded, the image is fixed properly on the MLV File and there is no half pink/purple frame on the image. There are dropped frames.

So for 1080/5KFRTP users, it's all good 

On the 5D2, set FPS Override to 24FPS to get 1/48.

How did you add the grain? Also did you use the MLV app film effect thing? Or a lut?

Thank you I added the grain in FCPX that comes with it pre-loaded. I was surprised how well it worked. Yes from memory I did use the MLV App Film Effect loader. I used the Kodak Vis 3 one and set it to about 20%
I used the Alexa LOG C Profile and then enabled Creative Adjustments to bring the LOG Look to Rec 709.

The preset is called "5k anamorphic flv" and allows you to film at 1736x2928/16fps/12bit continuously.   It is a full sensor readout mode meaning that the 1.6x Crop is referenced to the full frame sensor size.  This mode works extremely well with the speed booster giving you only about 1.1x crop w.r.t. full frame - perfect if you like experimenting with fast prime lenses creating beautiful bokeh and shallow depth of field.  In this case, you project the full frame vision onto a 1.6x croped aps-c sensor.  As I said, if I want quality, this is my mode for landscape and portrait videography.  Since there is no aliasing, image quality, even fine detail rendering, is superb - way better than the regular 1736x976/24fps mode. 

Thanks for sharing, I'll try to spend more time with this mode and see what I can pull out of the hat

1x1 pixel is as sharp as it gets. To call anamorphic not sharp isn't true imo. It's smooth, big difference. Anamorphic and 1x1 are the modes I could use for cinematic or even documentary filming.

Maybe the eye can be deceiving haha
It's definitely a cinematic mode and I can call it 'reliable', though often sharpness or clarity feels like it needs to be added in post for the Anamorphic modes, in comparison to say 2.5k/2.8k 1:1 where I don't have to. I'll spend more time with the anamorphic mode as I don't mind the 2x crop and it has a reliable record time.

Yeah I saw that video, I like it a lot
I haven't seen the 5.2K Option with the EOS M though in 1.6x Crop? If it was this resolution, I probably wouldn't mind for 16fps haha. I do like the Anamorphic modes Danne has implemented though for sure, they're not sharp but they don't have to be. I just get more tempted with the 2.8K Raw.

Appreciate it 😎🙌
I call it S16 because of the crop in 2.8K around X3. It has that compressed look.
The zoom was all digital in post haha. But yeah, love this camera and the look it can give. Imagine this 2.8k resolution in aps-c 1.6x crop, would be crazy good.

Yep. 10 bit was enabled for more record time in 2.8K Mode.

ML is so underrated haha..love this camera. Cheers to the Developers 🤘
I'm pretty sure Location helps as well with the overall look just as much as costumes etc...
Having a good eye is also key 😎👍🎥🔥

Probably the closest I've gotten to making the Eos m look like film. This is why we Shoot Magic Lantern, it brings the best out of these budget Canon cams. 😎🙌🎬🔥

Shoot with 10 bit enabled on the 5D2 if you haven't done so already.
