Hi,

I've been reading similar posts, including this one https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=2221.0, but so far haven't been able to get my camera to power on.  I've been using ML for years without any issues, and last time I used it was about a month ago, stored my camera and didn't use it again until 3 days ago.  Now it won't turn on.  The only sign of life is that the led does 2 quick blinks but ONLY if the card with ML is inserted, it won't do anything without a card or with a clean card.  Deleted the ML folder and autoexec.bin and replaced with nightly build, but same result.

If there's any other tools I can try, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've been experimenting with the focus stacking feature and it took me a while to figure out the settings, but I'd been getting consistent results.  Recently I decided to try and do 2:1 magnification stacks with a raynox filter, and was testing the best aperture for this.  All of a sudden, the lens stopped responding to the joystick if the step size is set to 1.  It works if it's set to 2 or 3, and normal autofocus is working, but if I try to shift the focus in step size 1 increments, the focus doesn't move, or it moves erratically.  I need the smallest step size for this magnification, so 2-3 won't cut it.  Could I have overtaxed the motor using focus stacking?  My tests were done in 1 hour sessions, 1 day apart, for about 5 days.

Has this happened to anyone else? 

Cheers,

Leo
