Distance says 0.0

Is there any reason to think that there won't be a port of Magic Lantern for the 6D Mark II eventually. I read somewhere that somebody that the Dual Pixel Autofocus could be an issue, but I'm not a developer so I have no way of judging the likelihood of that statement being correct.

Sadly neither the Tamron 17-50 or the 28-75 report distance All I see on the bottom bar is the MF/AF designation.

I see these FF- and FF+ boxes on my liveview, but can't seem to find any reference in the documentation. What are they for and how can I get rid of them (assuming I don't want to see that information)?

Thanks.

After doing a little more reading I'm not sure this is going to work for me. I have a T4i and Tamron lenses....I don't know if the lenses report focus distance, which I believe is a requirement for the script to work.

On another note, I came across a fascinating article on your website about super resolution. You keep inspiring with all kinds of neat ideas.

I have been interested in trying focus stacking for a while for landscapes and after coming across your blog (which is a wealth of information) I decided to download ML and give it a try. This Focus Bar seems like a great way to approach it, but as I am new I am unfamiliar with Lua and exactly how to download and install this. I have installed the nightly build on my card, what else do I need to do?

Also, as a future thought, particularly for people like myself that are not programmers, an awesome improvement, which I think many people would appreciate, would be to implement the focus stacking and bracketing as a single function. I'm thinking of something like exposure bracketing where you take one picture and ML then figures out how many additional photos are necessary to cover the dynamic range. In this case, you could either take on image, or press the Set button and then have ML take as photos as necessary to achieve optimal front to back sharpness.

At any rate, thanks again for the great blog and development of the focus bar.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the ETTR function adjusts both shutter and ISO. You set the minimum shutter speed in the settings and it determines the optimal settings. How does this compare to setting both shutter and aperture and using Auto ISO from an image quality perspective?

Brand new to Magic Lantern and installed on my t4i. I don't see the ETTR on the Expo menu, but I've seen mentions of it, including a long post where somebody had it running on the t4i. Is it gone....coming back?
