hey there

just wondering if it is possible to bulb ramp (for sunset time-lapsing) on Canon 7D with ML. I don't want to purchase any external equipment to do it.
The intervalometer menu doesn't give you Bulb Ramping options.
I have read that you can install a module or something? is that true?

can someone please help me out

thanks matt

hey there

just wondering how does using cropped mode on 7D (zoom) increase RAW video res to 2.5k?

aren't you taking away pixels by cropping? it prob a simple answer but I can't find a answer on google.


thanks matt

hello there

I'm trying to find out more about the exposure preset option in the exposure menu. How do you use this? can you only have 2 presets and toggle between the two?

is there a way to have multiple exposure presets (starting templates i like to think) in ML and conviently name them "light low" "night" "sunset" etc instead of constantly changing heaps of settings.

i know you can save Config files but thats like saving the magic latern's whole state and you have to restart the camera for it to update the settings, instead of just quickly changing a preset on the fly.

i also aware of the Custom1, Custom2, Custom3 on dial but i can't remember every time i go shooting what exposure settings on each custom preset, i would love a option where you could "name" and save these settings and just bring them up.

could someone please help me on this issue

thanks matt

hey there I have the latest ML nightly build on my 7D

the only module i have installed currently is raw_rec, i disabled the mlv_rec as it skip frames earlier when i recorded RAW video. it only lasted for like 3 seconds then it skipped a frame and stopped.

Is there any quick fix or is there a setting I'm missing?    btw I'm shooting 1728x972

ML allows me to record in RAW (using raw_rec) for like 4 seconds and then does the same thing and goes:

early stop (11) this is a bug please report it

is it my CF card i hope not i just spent $150 on it. Its a SanDisk 64GB 90MB/s Extreme Pro CF.

thanks matt

hello there

I've been practicing using ML on my 7D, I initially just installed a ML 7D march 13 nightly release ( didn't really know what I was doing, I just put it on) which i found worked reasonably well, had a few glitches like it would quickly load the original canon firmware GUI now and then instead ML when pressed the trash button.

Anyway, before people start going off at me saying why don't you read the manual and all that jazz, but the fact is I look all through these forums/wikis and it must give great confusion to someone starting out to what actual ML firmware to put on your camera i.e what release alpha release, nightly, stable etc. Because someone tells you to install something in one thread and another person tells you install something in another, plus there is so many topics which one do I read.
Firstly to make things clear does Magic Lantern have a stable release for 7D? i can't find one if so, if i were to install it would I miss out on additional features that people have added in the alphas/nightlys, how do I combat this problem or simply what should i install? Everyone seems to be installing this Pelican's nightly build, should I install that?  can someone please shed some light that would be greatly appreciated. thanks matt

hey there
i have a canon 7d with a rokinon 24mm cine lens, now with this cine lens you change the aperture via the ring on the lens. and you can't control the f-stop from within magic lateen (i think).
anyway i will have my photo ready on the live view properly exposed, then i take a picture and its overexposed. what am i doing wrong here, is it the lens? because you can't control the aperture from the software or is there a live view setting I've got wrong? thanks matt
