Has anyone started looking deeper into the 1.2.1 yet?
Any ideas on how hard/easy it will be get the alpha to work with it?

"hold all calls, I am going in "

I am surprised that the discovery of low fps raw video aka DNG burst mode has not generated more forumactivity?
Is there a thread I am blissfully unaware of?

(...)you should be able to upgrade and downgrade.

If Canon likes us, we'll be able to update ML to work with the new firmware.

Fingers crossed

well, we're all waiting patiently

What are the main deciding factors in moving from alpha to full release / What decides which features are considered safe?
Statistics of dev testing and/or user feedback?

Does the latest nightly build have all the features listed @ http://nanomad.magiclantern.fm/feats.html enabled?


Keep up the good work

many people don't know where to start at compiling a bin file or have the confidence in case they get it wrong (myself included if I'm honest)

+1
I would love to try the DoTtune implementation, but as far as I understand, this feature is not included in the Alpha3.
Could anyone be persuaded to compile a version with DoTtune and share it?
Edit: the vanilla alpha3 works to some extend, and I must say that the gradual exposure change is amazing!
Another feature that canon should ahve thought about long ago

Still, if anyone would care to share their different versions I'd be more than happy to test a few more features.
In case I get impatient, how would one go about compiling a a 5D ML with the DotTune feature enabled?

Just wanted to get a little more ease of mind before installing alpha 3 - am I right in assuming that no 5D mkIII's (that we know of) have been bricked by ML?

overheating?
is there a problem?

Not in particular in relation to ML, was just wondering if tweaking video settings with ML had a history of worsening the occasional overheating that some 7D video shooters are talking about.

If you have heard no serious mention of this alleged issue here, maybe it really is a non-issue

Any rough ETA on 6D alpha1?

Is there a separate thread dealing with overheating issues of 7D video? (both concerning native settings and ML tweaks to bitrate etc)

The way it works is that when you switch to live view, it will display in one PP and when you hit record, it will switch to another PP. I haven't found any issues with it, though apparently, it kept turning this feature off more and more lately.
One caveat though: This is an alpha build, and it's not meant for production use. I've had my camera suddenly shut down for no reason that I can reproduce. Though it only happened maybe only two or three times in the past few months.

oh.. I thought I'd actually get to use LV with one PP and save with another PP WHILE shooting
Yea, I realize that this build might not be that stable, but I have a backup-body to save the day if ML decides to reboot.

How do you mean? they already works with ML.
The only problem I'm having that I can't seem to put my finger on is that when you put M in one of the custom modes, HDR would sometimes not expose properly.

What I meant was that I'd love for the ML srettings tobe relative to the Custom recall modes - is that implemented?

One more thing, I'd love to see an implementation of the custom modes (C1,C2,C3) for ML

I don't think anyone has compiled such a list. But I think the only feature missing from the 2.3 ML would be:

• HDR Video
• That line reading thingy that you can use to make slit scan video
• FPS override
• ISO 25600

g3gg0 mentioned the audio thingy that hasn't been properly figured out for recording high bitrate video

Anything else?

wow, that is really nice!
Could someoe try the function that allows you to save with one PP while using another one for LV just to make sure that it isn't buggy?
I have one of my first paid gigs plus a wedding for my brother in law, and this ML update gave me the final push towards the 7D over another 60D

Thanks for all your great work! ML made my 60D SO much better and with this new release, I can finally jump on a 7D now that the prices are coming way down.
A few things:
Can someone point me towards a full list of working features on the 7D alpha2 compared to the "official" 2.3 release?
