is it possible to use an older magic lantern build where automatic movie restart is not yet disabled together with the eosm106.fir? or are the version of ml and the eosm106.fir codependent? I neeeed the automatic movie restart... nothing else of ML   ;(

thank you!

Hi guys,

first of all, thank you for your responses that helped me a lot...!!!

I am the guy who wants to use the EOS M with automatic movie restart function.... but as somebody pointed out (thank you!) this does not work with newer versons of ML... Is it possible to use an older version where this function is not disabled with the EOS M yet?
If yes, could you point me towards a downloadlocation?
That woul really be great!

Thank you,
all the best to you helpful guys!!!!!

Hey guys,

I bought 5 EOS M to record classical concerts... but with me, the automatic movie restart stopps after about 20min. recording time.
I use a Sandisk 64GB memory card. Could anybody help me with that issue?? I have 2 weeks, and then it should work... and I am losing hope right now, as I tried everything to prevent the video from stopping...

Best regards,
Kevin

Hey guys,

I bought the M, installed ML (very exciting for me being a Canon & ML newbie)...

now I see a EFIC Chip temperature and am wondering which temperatures it should have. Mine says after about 2minutes of liveview ~108°C. That seems pretty high to me and so I am wondering, if ML will switch the camera off if it might fail due to temperature rising.

What temperatures are normal??

Please give me a hint, as I don't want to kill my brandnew camera...

Thank you!
Kevin

Hi guys,

thank you so much for your responses!! We are using 5 cameras, so we will be able to cut from here to there... We plan to use AC-Power adapters to keep them running aaaall concert long
I will soon buy the equipment needed and will try ML the very first time (being a long time Pentax User, I wish you start hacking my K-5

Thank you so mcuh!

Hey guys,


I have few more questions, before I buy 5 EOS M cameras to do video work...

- old FD lenses with China adapters will work with manual exposure and manual focus?
- will it work with automatic exposure too?
- will movie restart function work (so I can record up to 29.xx minutes?
- the simple AF-Help/color flickering while manual focusing?
- Recording on Class 10 SDXC, 64GB cards...?
- setting the same WhiteBalance and colour modes on all cameras?
- Does it have Live HDMI-output in what resolution while recording??

If you could answer me these questions I would be really happy and very thankful!! (which will definetely result in donation to ML!)
Thank you,
Kevin

So by that, you mean that 70Mb/s are too low? So quality will not be very good for professional video productions?

"There is no focus confirmation" ... focus peaking with these false colour flickering will work, right?

Does the movie restart function mean that it will restart the video after 29.xx minutes?? Or does it have to restart the video after the 4GB file size limit? (so basically, what will be the longest video duration possible w.o. frame loss (it is essential for classic concert-recordings no to loose too much time in these breaks... )

i don't get what you mean with the shutter tuning thing for LCD screens...

Thank you,
Kevin

Hi guys,

with great interest I am reading this thread, and I read nearly all pages of it, sometimes I had difficulties to understand, but am quite amazed by the possibilities given with ML (especially because I am a long time Pentax - user and miss many of these possibilites ;(...

Trying to capture video on a professional level, I want to buy 4+ Canon M Cameras, with various lenses, and record 'concerts' 'music videos' etc. So I need to have great video quality, long video clip duration, and sync.-possibilites, external monitor-possibilites... (also Using a DIY Camera Crane with 4m range)... (basically I want to use the M, as it is quite cheap and veery light for 'DSLR-video-quality')

I have a few questions (if this is not the right place to ask these, I am sorry & pleas direct me to the right position ... Thank you!)

1.  What is the longest video duration with no single frame missing in 1080p,25fps?
2.  Is it possible to use a "China-Full manual" Mount adapter for 15bucks from the bay if I want to only use ''manual ooold glass" or Samyang 85 1.4 with no AF-contacts and so on... (M42 lenses?) (I want to only use kit lens & old manual glass, as the Focus throw is longer than with modern zoom and AF-lenses, so manual focusing is a lot easier while recording video...)
3.  Is it possible to synchronize the 4 (or more cameras) with a sort of wireless audio transmitter (as Audio is recorded separately) that can be plugged in the audio or other external sockets in the EOS M somewhere??
4. Is it possible to have an auto movie restart function where camera restarts video after the 29minutes...  (I know there generally is in ML, but I don't know if it is working on the EOS M).
5. Is there Liveview-output via HDMI and what is the highest resolution while recording 1080p being transferred to an external screen?

If this might work out, I will be very thankful to you helpers and contribute to the ML-research group

Thanks in advance for answers!
