Another card: LEXAR 64 gb SDXC UHS-i, given for 30Mb/s:

33 Mb/s to ML benchmark

I know SANDISK Extreme Pro 32 and 64 are different (but same commercial 90Mb/s). 64 SD handles higher bitrates.
From old times i was using them with my hacked GH2....

Personaly, Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 Mb (90Mb/s): 40.9Mb/s with ML benchmark

Can you tell us what's ur goal 1% ?

Get a 422 movie file 720p or 1080p ?
With a container or just a bunch of files in a sub directory ? then make a movie from those files on computer.

Would it be real 4.2.2 ?
6D hardware can handle 24x4.26Mb = 102Mb/s ? I presume he can..

Thanks

Flash your cam with canon original 1.1.2 firmware first, then follow steps to get ML working on 1.1.2

I think it's time to update the 1st post with a "101 ML on Canon6D" article....
I just want to remind you the "how big update !!!" the firmware 1.1.3 brings you: a bug fix to a date/time issue (i never had personaly). Great ! Canon, who cares about focus peacking

Steps for ML on Canon 6D with firmware 1.1.2 are:

- Make the SD card bootable using EOScard:
http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/3rd_party_software

- Get ML 2.3 from ML website:
http://bitbucket.org/magiclantern/magic-lantern/downloads/magiclantern-v2.3.550D.60D.600D.50D.500D.5D2.zip

- Get 6d-112.fir from:
http://bit.ly/ZgvGUf

- Get the last autoexec.bin.something renaming it to autoexec.bin
from: https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-6d/downloads
+ 4 .ini files at the end of listing: h264.ini, cbr.ini, vbr.ini, rc.ini

- Place the new autoexec.bin and 6d-112.fir in the homedir of the SD card
- Place the .ini files in ML dir of the SD card

- Put SD card in camera and update firmware while in M mode. Restart.

That's it.

Sure, in LR, allowed corrections are basic (i always use Premiere), but when importing pics/videos from your SD, i like the way LR manage them. Perhaps somewhere some1 wrote an import pluggin for LR wich allow non pic/video files to be imported too. I've googled for a while... noop..

The lens correction is mostly for Premiere but would be cool to apply LR lens corrections to our videos !
LR already knows so much lens...

Thanks to ML, we know have a log file to log ISO, shutter speed...etc of taken movies.

- Does someone know how, when importing photos and movies in lightroom, we could get the .log files too ?
It's sometimes useful to read them later after.

- Anyone has found a (idealy free !!!) lightroom or premiere CS6 plugin to correct lens distortion in movies ?

Thanks all

1%, i don't know where you live but i can ship you a speedlite 90EX for 89€ + shipping.

Tiny, pockectable, perfect fill-in flash and fixes the lack of flash on 5D/6D, i love it !

My local photo shop gets them from splited EOS M packages so the price is low.
Let me know.

From 1%: I have C1 for P mode photos.
C2 for manual & movie.
with auto update.

Yes, tested, it works (settings reset). Having C1 and C2 in photo mode is pretty cool to switch between personal settings.
I always used M mode to record movies to ensure shutter speed is 1/48 and control depth of field with aperture....
Thanks to you i just figure out we can also use C modes in Manual control !!!

Damned, why don't you guys write the Canon manuals !!!!!
Would be crystal clear !

Feature request...

Would it be possible to have, under Photo options, a "reset at start-up" feature ?

This option would be activated only when camera is powered on, NOT when waking up from sleep, and would reset selectable things: white balance, exposition, drive, AF, iso ... all to default/auto or a custom setting ?

I don't know if ML can find out if it's a fresh start or a waking-up.

Could be usefull in my opinion.

gravitatemediagroup: You're perhaps talking of "banding". I had this problem with one of my 5D MarkII. If you see banding in iso <or= 6400 you'd better return the camera. Banding in low light areas is a well known Canon issue. My 6D is not affected this time.

Be sure to use a genuine Canon battery whyle testing banding cause some chinese battery can cause weird stuff sometimes. (As banding is a kind of electronic waved noise)

Malex: I got the 6D after having a 5D Mark II and a Nikon D600. To summup, for this price tag, this is the best full frame camera available right now. D600 is great (focus points, mpixels, headphone jack...etc) but for the video, the 6D, as the 5D mark II&III support MagicLantern, let you change the aperture while recording (no Nikon cam allow this) and in my opinion features as moire/aliasing as the 5D Mark II, no more. 5D MarkIII is an alternative is you want to spend extra $1000.

Add to the 6D body features (low light perfs +++) the power of MagicLantern, you've got a realy great camera. Great for photos great for videos.

Only my opinion.

Hb: i had factory firmware 1.1.2 but ML firmware update didn't work #1st time so i had to update firmware again with Canon's 1.1.2, then ML firmware did update.

Perhaps your firmware version.

On my 6D, I had to apply again the original Canon firmware 1.1.2 before ML can work....
(i was already in 1.1.2, from factory)

Hope that helps

One suggestion

In menu Expo / White balance, at the beginning, it's on AUTO,
then you can scroll from 1500K to 15000K but you can't reset it to AUTO.

Would it be possible after 15000K and before 1500K to have the AUTO choice ?
Like in ISO choice.

Just to be clear, i'm not complaining about issues or ways ML does something or somethingelse,
just testing and reporting weird stuff or bugs. Is this OK ?

I'm just so glad ML already work an Canon 6D !!

ML: Flickering ML menus

I can confirm the 8 seconds ML menus flickering occurs only when LV is on. Either in photo or video.
- When you start the camera and directly enter ML menus with DEL button, no flickering at all.
- Even later, after a few shots, flickering occurs only in LV photo/video modes.
- when in LV, you scroll in ML menus, it doesn't flicker every 8 seconds

You stop scrolling, 8s flickering restart.

A timer issue somewhere ?

ML: SDCard format issue

Last time i tried with a 5D Mark II, when formating the SDCard, a ML process was backuping ML from the card and restoring it just after.

On the 6D, 2 messages and a kind of beep:
Restart your camera
Shoot_malloc err

You can format the card but ML is gone

ML Audio menu

Things that do not work for me:

- Beep, test tones: everything is ok except red light keep on a while
- Sound recorder: recording is OK but playback crashes with this error in log file:
ASSERT: FALSE at ./ASIF/ASIF.c:444, task beep_tasklv:1
- Voice Tags: crash the camera when recording the tag with this error in log file:
ASSERT: FALSE at ./ASIF/ASIF.c:444, task beep_tasklv:0
- Headphone monitoring: already talked before, no sound yet
- Audio meters: Works just fine !

  sorry

A feature we can disabled ?

Bug: ML crash in LV
autoexec.bin.a1exscrlwheelfx kind of fixed the problem. Always the 8seconds gap, but instead of crashing, ML blinks as if it was restarted.

Bug: Central focus point gone
Just noticed this, either with autoexec.bin.a1exscrlwheelfx or autoexec.bin-nokillfflicker, central focus point disapears after ML loads or after focusing.

Bug displaying ML menus on LV

When not in LV, ML menus display normaly
When in LV, ML menus crash after 8 seconds every time
In the down right corner appears a kind of little red wheel and ML menus don't work anymore. You have to exit ML with del button and re-enter in ML menus.

Same thing happend in all modes: M, P... etc
I'm using "autoexec.bin.new icons"

Dlang: i made you an iso of my SD card with ML 2.3 on

Lack: Audio / Headphone Monitoring

On the 5D Mark II, there was a jack 3.5 AV output, you could get headphones monitoring by using the AV cable supplied with camera or SESCOM cable.

On 6D, the AV output uses the USB port and without ML, just plugin the cable disabled the Liveview.
With ML, plugin the cable doesn't disable the Liveview, ML detect the plugged cable "headphones connected" but no sound is coming out on Red and white wires.
