It's been looked into previously and was deemed not possible. The part of memory where styles are stored would be very dangerous to write to.

Already exists and works great. Set your exposure as normal, enable exposure lock in the ML menus. As you adjust T or A values the opposite will adjust inversely. You might notice moments when changing one and the other does not adjust. This is because of rounding errors due to Canon apertures being divided into 1/8 stops, not true 1/3 stops.

Format the card in your computer.
#30
Sounds like an incomplete shutdown. Wait for the card read/write led to flash after you open the card door before removing.

Turn off the power saving sleep mode under the Canon menus.
#32
Advanced bracketing should be used in M only.

You create the eye sensor, and someone here might take a look at it.

Canon already did. It is on 550D and the 500D. In ML it is called the LCD sensor. It can be used to trigger the shutter, amongst other things including follow focus as you are requesting.
#34
Check the bitrate option under the ML Movie tab. Make sure it is set to 1.0x.
#35
I had that error as well a few months back. I installed via MacPorts to get that command ('port install truncate'). I also had to edit makefile.src to remove the following option flag, I think it was 'truncate -r ....' which I replaced with 'truncate'

I've had a few other stumblings compiling on a mac. Let me know if you run into anything else.
#36
Don't have any experience with anything that long (longest was 3 weeks on AC), but it seems like there wouldn't be any problem as long as it wasn't in liveview and your power supply never gets interrupted. My question would be do you have enough storage for 16months? What is your interval going to be?

I can't imagine not being able to use my 5d2 for 16months. By then there might be a mk 3. I would totally devote my 550D.
#37
Maybe scrax (who made the Mac gui that it sounds like you are using) can help you out. The raw2dng that comes with ML only converts raws to DNGs via command line.

Search for dngs? Maybe they were output to some strange folder.
#38
Nope, no focus confirmation since the chip is not connected. Behaves just like a fully manual non chipped lens.
#39
Sounds like it would be possible in theory since ML can already set MA values, at least on cameras that already have AFMA. As you suspect, AF is not possible while DOF preview button is held down.

You would have to manually determine the MA value for each aperture of each lens and have them stored in some sort of configuration file but I'm not sure how you would do that since something like the DotTune AFMA calibration tool would only run with the lens wide open. You'd just have to guess at MA values.

Have you run into this issue very much in practice? It seems like the increased DoF from stopping down should cover any minor shift in the focal plane unless you are working at macro distances. If it is so extreme that it is noticeable, you might just have a bad apple.

Keep 2 cards, 1 with and 1 without.
#41
There should be a clear overlays option as well somewhere.

Because he posted the bmp screenshot which only includes overlays, not the actual image.

You can check to see if the link is made by doing the following

Obviosly you have to scroll a good ways up to see the line.

Next check the file /etc/paths by opening in a text editor to see if '/usr/bin' is in there. If it isn't add it as the top line. Be sure to save as plain text.
#45
Here is what I did, and have redone multiple times:

First start with this
Francis-Danforths-MacBook-Pro:~ danforthf$ sudo rm /usr/bin/cr2hdr
Password:
Francis-Danforths-MacBook-Pro:~ danforthf$ cd magic-lantern/modules/dual_iso/
Francis-Danforths-MacBook-Pro:dual_iso danforthf$ make clean
[ RM ]  dual_iso.o dual_iso.mo *.o *.d
[ RM ]  cr2hdr
Francis-Danforths-MacBook-Pro:dual_iso danforthf$


This basically resets you to scratch.


Then -->


I don't know what else to tell you guys. The hard part is done. Both of you have compiled the source. Maybe google 'making symbolic links in OSX' or '/usr/bin Mac' or something like that.

I tried but I have the same error.. :-[

You don't need to change anything in your makefile.user. You've got it built. Now the only problem is making the link.

Try typing out the whole path when you are making the link.

sudo rm /usr/bin/cr2hdr <--to get rid of the old link
sudo ln -s /Users/Saverio/magic-lantern/modules/dual_iso/cr2hdr /usr/bin/cr2hdr

It's working for me with those exact same steps.
#47
Delete it with the rm command. You don't have to use sudo (which switches to the admin/root account to perform a command) if you are already logged in as the admin.

To delete type
rm /usr/bin/cr2hdr

Then link again. If it says you don't have permission then add the sudo to the beginning of it.

Yes.
#49
That screenshot doesn't show the full path but I'm assuming you removed the Windows files and put these in the same place. First in your makefile.user you have gcc version =4.7.4 instead of 4.7.3 but that probably isn't your only problem. Did you download the toolchain from the page I linked to? If so why use an older version? The current download links on that main page are 2013q2. That probably isn't a problem either.

I'm not sure what to tell you but if your first impulse when it didn't work was to try the Windows version instead, you're probably not ready for this. Just download this binary and then make the symbolic link again. You probably should delete the one you've possibly already made.

Edit: Actually the 4.7.4 line probably is most of your problem. Change that to 4.7.3 and download the current toolchain. In my version they are all unix executables, none of them are links.
#50
You downloaded the windows version of the toolchain. That is why they are all .exes
