   Are You guys Sure that it is some component of the Cam' that is Heating the

Card & Battery ?  I would think that it might be the Battery that is is getting hot &

Heating the Card & Cam ~ Trying the Grip or a Battery Replacement Adapter might

Answer & Solve this issue ~

   I would also be Less concerned about what the Heat might do to the Card or

Battery (they are replaceable), & More concerned about what that Heat is doing to the Cam' ~

      Hey Walter

   Thanks for that >

"XC = extended capacity = bigger than 32 GByte."

   Big Old Dummy Me Knew That but My Attention

was apparently @Ease or maybe Out Of Funds ~

   It is My understanding that SDXC Cards are Backward Compatible but since the

Older Devices lack all of the Contacts of the XC You will not get any Speed Advantage ~

   It is also My understanding that using a Micro SD in an SD Equipped Cam Via an

Adapter will result in Slower Write Speeds / Transfer Rate ~

   So are You saying that to You, Magic Lantern is simply a Fancy Piece of Software that adds some Techiness to Our Cam's &

Not An Amazingly Versatile Photographic Tool that allows Us to Capture/Create Images with Our Canons that We would otherwise

not be able to do if ML did not exist ~

   & For the record > I don't see anywhere that I said I "regret that" I "did not film ... videos at a higher bit rate"

I did say > certainly there are some Vid's that would possibly have been better if they had been recorded @ a Higher Bit Depth ~

& that Should seem to imply that I have already Imagined what they might look like had they been Recorded @ 10 or 12Bit & still

I would feel comfortable saying that it was not absolutely necessary because I did in fact Get The Shot I Wanted ~

   & Technically Speaking > 8Bit can record 16,777,216 colors & the Vast Majority of Human Eyes can only Discern 10,000,000 ~

& Also > The Term 12-bit RAW does not refer to "bit Rate" it refers to "bit Depth" ~

   I would suggest that if the project interests You enough to spend the time each day shooting it &

You have the storage capacity then by all means Capture the 90Hrs ~ Maybe You'll never find a need for

all of it but You will have the files & will afford Yourself the ability make that decision @ some point down

the road > You'll never be able to go back & shoot it later ~

   You could always turn the Whole 90Hrs into a TimeLapse ~

   "Everyone who watches even my earliest RAW videos from that time, is blown away by their quality."

   I Get That ~ I am in no way saying that Raw is bad, Just Seldom Necessary ~

Everyone who views any of My Canon 2k H264 videos from the past 11yrs, seems to love them & certainly there are some Vid's that would possibly have better if they had been recorded @ a Higher Bit Depth ~

But to Me, Quality in Videography & Photography is about the Story & Artistic Value of the Image ~

      @ IDA_ML

   It appears as though You missed My Point > I was not defending Low Res Raw, I was saying that if You feel the need to shoot Low Res just so that You can end up with a more reasonably sized Raw File, is the Trade Off Worth It ~ Being able to Record Raw @ 2k or 2.5k or 3k or 4k or 5.5k definitely has some advantages but to Down Res just to Shoot Raw makes No Sense to Me ~
   & With that being said I will also state that probably 99% of what I like to Video comes out Just Fine using Canons Wonderful H264 ~ Again > Only time I see the need for Raw is if the scene has some crazy high contrast or some Color Grading Fancy Dancing is Desired ~
#8
   IMHO RAW is Highly Overrated > Really only helpful if the scene is extremely contrasty or if You are wanting to do some extreme color grading or You just like to Feel Like You are In Control ~
   It seems especially silly if You need to shoot @ Lower Res for some reason ~ Low Res is Low Res & Upscaling just produces a High Res version of a Low Res Original Image ~

                     @ Aoraki

   You can simply create a New Folder on Your Card & Move Your Existing

autoexec.bin

ML Folder

ML-SETUP.FIR

Into that Folder & then add the New Build Counterparts onto the Cards Root Level ~

Or if You choose not to keep the OldBuild on the Card, Just Erase & Replace ~

" Apparently there is no active developer that has 70D, otherwise they would have tried it "

   It certainly does appear that ML interest in the 70D has waned dramatically, which is

why I was pleasantly surprised when You posted that You would Give It A Look ~

   If You can't get a RomDump from some User that has already FirmedUp their 70D by

end of week / after Christmas, I guess I'll take the dive ~

       Have You acquired a Rom Dump for the 113 FirmedUp 70D from anyone yet or

is it looking like it is going to be up to Me ~

      @Ida_ML

   You mention over on the EOSM thread that You like to use 2.5Sec for Interval & 0.4Sec for ShutterSpeed

for some T'L's, How/Where do You make these Settings on SL1 when in Movie Mode ~

                 @ Dane & Ida_ML & TWeEMBC

   Today > a New & Diff' Day ~ Having a bit more time today I decided to get brave & give the

Interval Script another attempt ~ This time I loaded the 7Dec19 Build on 1 of My newer SanDisk

Ex'Pro 95mb/s 128GB SDs & opted to disable AF & Stab' on the EOS 18-200 that is currently on

the SL1 just to eliminate any extra work for the Cam' ~

   Set Interval to 4sec, Delay to 4sec & RunTime to 28sec ~

1st attempt @ Triggering via ShutterHalfPress produced only 10X Zoom ~

Attempt to Trigger via Vid' Rec' Button (Just thought I'd give a try) produced "RAW Detect Error" ~

so then (for some reason) I Took Pic' via Full Shutter & then again Attempted to Trigger via Vid' Rec'

Button & this time a seemingly Continuous Rec' occurred ~

   A bit Puzzled & Perplexed I went back into ML Menu & decided (maybe by accident) to see what

would happen if I just clicked via "Set Button" with "Run HalfShutter trigger" HighLighted & Voila, an

Interval Sequence Began & completed ~ Have not yet viewed results as My MLV stuff is on another OS

& will have to wait 'til later ~ But @Least for now it seems to be working ~

   Additionally > I also tested with Lens AF & Stab' back on & it still seems OK ~

             @Dunpil

       Since You have already taken the plunge to 1.1.3 You should attempt to Grab the ROM Dump

that Alex has requested so as to see if there is anything He can resolve from it ~

   The only Times that I use the 70D anymore is when I need a Cam' with ML Abilities so I suspect being without it

for a Short Time would not be a major issue as long as it appears that a Solution could be forthcoming. If I conjure

up the Nerve to do the FirmUp, I'll only be doing it for ML Test purposes & will then also attempt to acquire & provide

a ROM Dump ~ RSVP Alex ~

Certainly seems odd that Canon would come up with a FirmUp for a Cam that is so far in the rear view mirror ~

Would it be correct to assume that this would most likely "Break" ML ?

       When using FPS OverRide for Low Frame Rates (8 - 18) is there a way to Control &Or Just Know what the Shutter Speed will be ~

                     @ DFort & WeEIMC

"when inserting a card that has ML for another camera on it the M50 just goes into a coma"

           Should work if You simply "Hide" ML in a "HidingPlace" Folder/Directoy ~
