By this I mean whether it is possible to somehow have properly exposed frames, when dealing with changing lightning?
Also if I want to go at about 1fps - what can be done to darken the scene except setting the aperture to max value (f22) and overriding the ISO to 25?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

First of all - I'm not saying it's because of ML at all, I'm posting this because somebody may know what it happened.
I have T3i (600d), Sandisk 32gb at 45mb/s, Canon firmware 1.0.2, ML 2.3, Canon stock battery (whatever came in the box).
I was playing with the FPS override, recorded about 40min earlier today, I've started another one but the settings were not good so I decided not to do it.
I turned off the camera but the little LED was blinking, I tried to turn it on but it didn't work, off - on didn't work (I double checked), removed the card - nothing, then I removed the battery and it  booted (with the battery inserted again lol).
Does anyone know why it happened, I got the camera 2 weeks ago, so I'm sure there are more than a few things I don't understand and may be doing wrong.

I think I've read (about) it somewhere but can't seem to find it now...
Is it possible to use ML in the viewfinder in terms of overriding the shutter speed and the ISO?
If not - is it technically possible for a T3i (600D), meaning should I expect it in future releases?

First of all:
Hello everybody,

I'm new here - new to the DSLR world as well (just bought a Canon T3i a week ago).
I don't have experience with cameras and shooting but I have a couple of years of experience freelancing in post-production, so the field is not entirely new to me.

Now to the question:
Does anybody have any experience using M42 lenses with ML?
Can you suggest should I get an adapter with AF chip and whether it will do any good with ML?
I have a Helios 44 and a Jupiter 135mm lenses, both are USSR made M42 old school lenses.
I have an ordinary adapter as well - both work but I do not get all the benefits of the DSLR or ML.
I guess the feature that I would like the most to be present is Magic Focus.
Just to clarify my level of noobness - I'm aware the AF is not Auto Focus and that mechanized features from the Canon kit lens would not be present in the M42 lenses
My understanding is that the camera will confirm that I'm in focus (just like using manual focus with the kit lens) - but will it work with ML?
Another issues is the color shift it is way colder than it looks in Live view - not entirely sure what to make of it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
