Robmac, if you press the trashbin key in a photo mode (let's say in P mode), you can access the magic lantern menu, right? But if you press the trashbin button in video mode, it doesnt work, right?

I am already working on it (small update for a1ex, I didn't have much time lately so, my progess are pretty slow... I am able to compile magic lantern, so update should come pretty soon regarding the trashbin key).

Thanks! Will look into that! I will keep you updated...

a1ex, I have knowledge in C# and Python programming. I also know a bit of C++... More especially, I more familiar with the Arduino plateform, the Rapsberry Pi plateform (Linux in general) and Windows 10 app programming. If you think I might be of some help (I am willing to learn! ; Could you refer me to some page about the Magic Lantern developpement? The information is pretty much everywhere : hard to find/understand? I don't know where to start...) I could jump into the code the debug it. If you think that I would not be of any help with my level of knowledege, I am willing to stay to test the new builds as another developper (hopefully?) could jump into the code?

On another note, I did very extensive testing (I don't have any other idea of what to test or combinaison of thing to test) and I didn't find any other bug except from the one who I already reported. (I did NOT test the modules and HDMI out). So, I can pretty safely say that the February 12 build is probably bug free EXCEPT from what I already posted in my previous posts.

Finally, do you have any request of thing for me to do/test? I read that a walkthrought video would be usefull. Is it still the case?

Btw... Is it normal that the Expo menu isn't there? The focus menu also miss some function compare to (let's say) Magic Lantern on a T5i?

The menu in the photo manual mode is the the standard one from Canon. Magic Lantern isn't suppose to add stuff like the time, ... ?

In brief, the February 12 build isn't complete, right?

First, for the zebras, the focus peaking and the false color... My bad, THEY WORK! The only problem is that they are not working while using the Magic Zoom! Is it normal?

Secondly, ML menu in video mode: select Debug ->
EV13: p=        4c  *o=             0/             0/            0  a=        0
EV14: p=        61  *o=  1010006/65006098/15500301  a=        e
EV15: P=        61  *o=  3010006/65006098/15500101  a=        e

Third, for some function, the font size is too small (probably the effect of the low res screen on the 1200d). For exemple, the camera temperature and the bit rate viewer are unreadeble (they are like tinny dots.).

Fourth, the camera is jumping between the Magic Lantern menu and the original Canon menu (in live view) while changing setting like the shutter speed using the dial.

Finally, I am gonna make heavy testing to see if some function are not ''compatible'' with each other like the focus peaking and the magic zoom

    - Histogram : OK!
    - Waveform : OK!
    - Vectorscope : OK!

2. Movie :
    - Bit Rate (CBR) : OK! (Tested up to 2x at 6400 ISO, don't know if it will go higher!)
    - REC key : OK!
    - Gradual Exposure : OK!
    - FPS override : OK!
    - HDR video : OK!
    - Vignetting : OK!
    - Image Fine-tuning : OK!
    - Creative Effects : OK!

    - DOF Settings : OK!

5. Display :
    - LV DIGIC peaking : OK!
    - LV saturation : OK!
    - LV display gain : OK!
    - Clear overlays : OK!
    - Advanced settings : OK! (I didn't test HDMI out...)

6. Prefs :
    - Everything seems to be fine!

7. Modules :
    - I didn't test any module...

8. Debug :
    - OK!

9. Help :
    - NOT OK! (The help files aren't on the SD card...)

All test were done at 100 ISO and 6400 ISO using the Technicolor Cinestyle with a manual m42 lens (adapted to Canon Ef) AND a second round of testing was done with an Canon Ef 50 mm STM and everything worked just fine.

First problem! I can't acess the Magic Lantern menu in video mode (work just fine in Program, Manual, Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority!)! Is it normal?

Second problem! Each time I change the shutter speed using the dial, the menu seems to jump to the normal Canon menu than goes back to the magic lantern menu. Is it normal?

If there is any question, I will gladly answer them

a1ex, I confirm that the installer is working! I just install Magic Lantern on my camera. Will start extensive testing as per the preceding instruction
