Does anyone ever pay a little attention on the photo shooting things instead of the movie? I really don't understand why everybody is talking about movie and movie. But we really need to improve the photo shooting features very eagerly.

1% (and all the other great people at ML), can you have the display at the bottom of the screen where it shows aperture, shutter, ISO, etc indicate which item is active for adjusting with the wheel/arrows? I never know if it is on aperture or shutter when i spin the wheel to make changes and it seems like i always have the wrong one. When i press the right arrow it switches between them, but it would be a lot better if it somehow made an indication of which one is ready for adjustment. Maybe make the active value brighter or bigger so we know? can you also make it toggle between aperture, shutter and ISO for adjustments?

I even don't understand why ML uses a independent information display screen instead of just using canon's stock interface. It would be best if we can directly display the focus peaking of magic room box on the canon information display interface.

It still doesn't work with 2.02? I have to make a new bin but first want to fix installer boot process to handle 6D/M

Please also consider improve the magic zoom function as early as possible. The focus peaking is quick to use but not as reliable as magic room when comes to accuracy. If we don't have a good magic room function, it could be meaningless to use ML for normal photo taking.

MZ is at least in sync in most modes, but not much different.

Its ugly at idle because its always 720P sized. Other cameras ugly mode is only 60FPS and all modes are like crop mode minus the crop.

Err, not quite understand the statement. Just want to know if it's possible to use the magic zoom with higher resolution according to the magnification factor?

Hi guys, any news about the magic zoom function improvement? I heard a new patch was just released.

I don't see much meaning in crop mode video. The crop result of a 22mm lens is definitely far different from a full 50mm f/1.4 lens effect. Especially in terms of field depth.

And also we are really eager to see eyefi card support since the 5d2 ml has supported it.

I know there are many people who are focusing on video and want make their camera to be a top tier video shooter. But can we also spend some time to improve the photo functions such as the magic room since this is a camera after all?

Zebras, focus peaking and Global Draw overlays are all working for me without need to do the on/off trick. I just need to do the on/off trick for shutter release type ML functions.

What is that trick?

Currently I use the liveview auto zoom to help MF give the magic room is not clear enough. But the half press trigger method is really a little annoying as it prevent immediate shutter sometime. I noticed that we can also use the exposure lock key to zoom. So can we only use this key to trigger this function?

What version is your firmware? I'm on 2.0.2

I see two power saving options:

LCD Auto Off: With minimum setting 15 sec.

and Camera auto off: With minimum setting at 0 Sec.  < After turning off LCD, this is how long the camera waits until it turns itself off.

TL;DR - RTFM

I understand what you mean. But what I want is not auto turn off the whole camera but just the LCD and sensor, and disable the touch screen afterwards. Currently the touch screen still work after the screen off. That's why I suggest this function.

BTW is there actually any difference between the camera auto turn off LCD and the ML auto turn off LCD? Does the former also turn off the sensor?

My bad. Set the turn camera off to 0 Sec.

Sorry I didn't get your point as I know the minimum auto turn LCD off time is 5 second.

This is really strange behavior. My EOS-M doesn't turn on when I touch it after it's turned off...

Check your power saving options. I suspect your LCD auto off is faster than your camera auto off. I usually set them to  the same value.

Well I Tried to set both of them auto off after 30 sec. But the screen still turn on after it was touched.......

BTW, still wondering is it possible to disable the touch screen after it was turned off and only turn it on by hard keys. It could help avoid unintended touch between body and screen when hanging the camera on the neck.

@1% -- I AM GIVING YOU A STANDING OVATION.  WELL DONE!  THANK YOU

@Canon eos m - GREAT INSTRUCTIONS, thank you. 

Who cares about the AF issues when you have vintage glass and focus peaking/MZ, and zoom on half shutter...This literally fixes every issue i had with this camera.  WELL, WELL DONE.

Focus peaking is very good. But the magic zoom still need to be improved. I hope it can enlarge the focus area as clear as the liveview full screen room and auto hide after releasing the shutter. The liveview auto zoom on shutter function is also very good. But it is not very suitable for composition of pictures and the shutter also has some obvious delay after the view is zoomed. So it will be best to improve the magic zoom.

I did not set the card up properly. So ML didn't boot and the camera needed to be flashed every time I want to use ML.

Then I tried again from scratch and then I found out that I didn't set my sdcard up properly.

My camera has been boot flagged since Alpla 1.

Thanks very much! I also got it work now!

I figured out why my M behaved like that. I forgot to check EOS_DEVELOP in EOSCard.

Shame on me haha.

So what does that mean?

Its full screen if/when the display filter syncs.

So it's impossible to change that? I know the Sony nex has that function as default and my another canon ixus camera also has it.

The current magic room is a good feature for MF lenses. But it still has some shortages. Once it was triggered by the half shutter, it won't disappear after releasing the shutter until half pressing it again. That is kind of a little annoying. But most importantly is that the enlarged image is just a simple magnification of the focus box area and the definition is very low, which is different from the liveview room effect. Is that possible to improve this function to make it more usable?

Just for the record the combo is running stable on my EOSM - intervalometer and all that. Will try video raw on photo mode today.

1% you really are a superhero. The Canon guys need to take a lesson or two from A1ex, you and other ML developers. Thank you for all the GOOD work.

Can you make it work after reboot without reflash?

Er, seems I was happy too early. The eyefi card doesn't work again after some time use. I found that the 5d3 ml actually works with eyefi card now. Can we also get that feature?

I managed boot the camera with the 2.0 ML but has the same problem after reboot. I have to update the firmware again to make it work. However the good news is that my eye-fi card works again! At least now we can play with the new ML for some time. Thanks very much and we are waiting for a stable update.

Its usable now, needs a few more stubs and of course the installer.

I'm on 2.0.2 now and can't go back... still same issues with display filter but MZ is good except for crop mode.. canon really did fix the focusing.

Hope we can use it this weekend

Dose anyone use tapatalk to follow this topic? Why it recently says I don't have the permission necessary to get notifications from this topic?

Besides, any news about the 2.0 version?

I have taken more than 200 photos today by my EOS M fireware 2.0 with the FD 50mm f/1.4 but unfortunately more than 20% of them are not accurately focused. It is really very hard to focus fast and accurately with the MF lense. We need ML for the 2.0 firmware so bad!
