Great!

  in +
  in -
would be better name than
  vol +
  vol -
which are confusing

and would also make relation with
  out +
  out -

Oh... a1ex thanks for this very good news!


Clear Overlays was hidden from my ML menu and I didn't see it!
Yes I have to read the user guide more completely...


Any recommendation to use this feature (external display with video projector) for live performance?

No way to do that with Magic Lantern ?

Hi,

I'd like to use the hdmi external display on a Video-Projector during a performance.
So I need only the image, not with the Magic Lantern textual menus...
Is there a way to manage that?


Thanks for your help
Paul

I am sorry but I still don't understand...
Is there a tutorial where I can clear my mind about it without bothering you here asking questions?

OK
By "remapped movie mode" you mean video mode with Magic Lantern ?

I just found something weird... I don't know if that's related specially to the 600D Audio release or if it would have been the same with others Canon devices:
I was recording a movie with external mic + earphones: OK.
I took a photo during video shooting: OK.
But when video came back after the photo:
- 1° the sound was saturated (levels up in red),
- 2° No more audio monitoring (but the movie was still recording),
- 3° I had to shut down the Canon (On/Off or releasing battery) to be able to use ML or Canon menu again.

Effectively when I read the .mov after the sound level jumps high (saturation)

OK thanks

In Pal, when do you think we get the little strobe effect for the filmed moving subject:
after 1/100 or as soon as it's indicated in Red?

(in their example 1/200 was shown strobed. And in my ML 1/200 is in Blue)

Thanks for the link, but I am still a little confused...

I am shooting in Pal means 25fps

I  get these values:
Red values: 1/33 and 1/42
Green value 1/50 (I thought it should be the more natural shutter speed...)
Blue values: 1/64 -> 1/200
Red values: 1/260 -> 1/4200

So for what I understand;
- Red means unsynchronized shutter speed (=don't shoot)
- Green means synchronized speed but use a tripod
- Blue means synchronized speed and safe without tripod

Am I right?
I don't know if I have to use "FPS override"...

Hi,

I see in ML userguide for Green color:

Shutter speed: in movie mode, values that maintain a certain amount of filmic motion blur (180 degree shutter) are displayed in green.

- If I shoot with a tripod with Green color values, the filmic motion blur shouldn't appear or are we speaking of a blur caused by the moving filmed subject?
- With shutter speed indicated in Red I suppose it's too critical to shoot, in any condition? (I get Red values for a 1/30...)


Thanks for your help

Does it occur with the cable unplugged?

No, for what I have tried: only plugged and in video mode

Can you provide a bit of context? You talked about EOS Utilty...what does it have to do with video mode?

It's just because I was in video mode when I connected the USB cable and launched Eos Utility. That's all.
After a1ex found that the blinking red line was caused by focus peaking.
I tried to focus peaking with Manual (and other photo modes I think) : no problem.
The problem (red line) occurs only in video mode...

Oops... as I am quite new with ML + DSLR video shooting should I feel ashamed of my attempt?
(means focus peaking shouldn't be used in video mode)

Seems to occur only on Video mode with Focus peaking on

Yes you are right:
if I disable focus peaking I don't get this red line...
Is it a bug ?

Hi,

here is the red blinking horizontal line I see on the screen:
http://cjoint.com/data/0IBqEdHDzEp.htm

Is it normal or is there a problem?


I have a 600D and Magic Lantern 2.3 installed
I installed Eos Utility and upgraded it to 2.11.4 as the install CD version wasn't compatible with my Mac opération system (Lion 10.7.4)

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I am new to DSLR Video/Photography (just got a 600D) and starting using Magic Lantern too, so please forgive me for this naive question...

I am going to shoot next saturday movie + pictures that should be used in Black & White. But sometimes in color too.
So I am thinking of shooting in color Raw and do after the B&W process in Photoshop.

I am looking for the best quality for the shooting

I see in ML WiKi http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/UserGuide#waveform

Tip: if you shoot RAW, use the UniWB method to get a good approximation of RAW RGB histogram. To setup UniWB, do a custom white balance on a completely overexposed image (100% white), set the picture style to Neutral 0,-4,-4,0 and disable Peripheral Illumination Correction.

Does it mean that I have to create a user preset from Canon menu like that?

Am I right?

I didn't find any UniWB600D.cr2 file for my 600D here:
http://www.guillermoluijk.com/tutorial/uniwb/index_en.htm

So perhaps before playing with UniWB method, I should wait a little:

New users who are still finding their way around the camera are advised to wait before trying to tackle UniWB.

Well, I am half way and about to renounce.
Just shoot with Picture style: Auto, make a real white (grey) balance before shooting, and record jpg+raw pictures...

What do yo think?
Thanks for your help

PAul

Thanks.

But just to ask more precisely, do you think that it's better to adjust recording levels:
  - using DISP shortcut (step by 9db - jumps from 15 to 24db...)
  - "Analog Volumes" from ML Audio menu (step by 5db)
I suppose we interfere on the very same parameter (analog gain) with both, no?

Playback isn't set up to work through headphones.

Would be great to control taken shots!

Hi,

first of all thank you very much for your great work. It's so helpful.

I tried it on my new 600D. Sorry but I can't compare as I don't have any 550D or other DSLR. And I am new to Magic Lantern too...

I have 2 points to mention:

1° As expected I get audio monitoring in my headphones during recording, but I don't get any sound in them during playback:
only the Canon speakers are playing the audio tracks even if my headphones are plugged (and recognized by ML)
Not sure if I have misunderstood something (I suppose!) or if that's a bug...

2° I am not sure to have best settings in ML for recording/monitoring for my Rode VideoMic Pro (output impedance = 200 Ohms)

- My Rode settings: +20db increased signal level + High Pass Filter on
- Magic Lantern settings:
Analog Volumes: 0db
Digital Gain: 0db
Output volume: 0db

In fact my settings are only controlled by using the button DISP. shortcut for analog gain (horizontal) to set "Input vol" at +15db or +24db
I see better modulation at 24db but I get some more hiss too (in my headphones but not recorded)...
Also I supposed that these settings should be seen after on menu "Analog Volumes" but it's still set to 0db

Do you think am I wrong in my way of managing the settings or I could get better results with another approach?

Thanks for your help

Sorry guys for my question as I can help your development only with PayPal...

I was going to buy a 600D but as there is no audio monitoring during recording I'd go back to 550D but your post gave me hope...
So... when do you think that a quite stable version could be released?
