Hi!

I've been using magic lantern for a while now, both on 550D and 50D and it is great. Especially RAW on 50D is amazing even with al the problems that it has. I recently discovered dual-iso and what it can do in terms of dynamic range, would be lovely to use it in video mode too but my menu seems to complain: (MOVIE) This feature requires you shooting RAW.

This is even though live view is active, RAW video mode is active,... Works great with stills, just can't seem to be able to get it in RAW video, tried all mode dial positions. What am I doing wrong?
Running on Nightly 2014 oct 07(I know quite old, but still, works stable enough for me)

Also a feature idea/request: One of the main issues besides stability and overheating is syncing audio. It would be great if the camera could output some kind of beep or other syncing signal out of the video out port so matching with an external recorder is less cumbersome. Maybe even with some code referring to the video file. Would this theoretically be possible with the hardware in the 50D?

Overheating issues can be reduced significantly(but not resolved) by using a 'dumb' battery together with a large external battery(Amazon DE: RAVPower 15000mAh with 9V out) on the cheap. Anyone have any further tips to cool the sensor without one of those astro peltier/heatsink mods?

Thanks!

Hi,

I just launched this new website lutbase.net where you can share and download user created LUT's. I've already put up three of mine. You can download them for free. If you have some yourself feel free to upload them as well.

Is there a way to lock the exposure in the video mode? I seem to have some issues with it changing dramatically, like its trying to capture the blown out highlights and under exposed shadows while filming. Also, it seems like the manual aperture doesn't want to work for video mode. If I set it to f22 (using the kit lens) I can hear it swivel in and out but it doesn't stay in f22.   

Tried this?
Go to the ML menu, Expo tab, turn on Exp. Override and then changing the settings in the same tab.
I hope this helps!

A much easier way to install ML for the first time is to simply

• Download the RC3 from the OP, and extract it to a clean (format in camera) SD card.
• Run the firmware update procedure in the Canon menu, the ML fir will set the boot flag when you do this and you should get a green screen. Turn off camera and remove SD card.
• Now update to the latest nightly by deleting all ML files on the card and replacing them with the most recent build.

No need to mess with fonts.dat.
When it comes back, I will need everyone's help to keep it maintained and up to date. I do not have time to test every feature, but if you submit good bug reports and do good testing, it should be easy for me to fix issues and keep this port up to date.

The 1100D port seems to be quite stable atm (I've been just compiling it myself). I haven't had a crash in months, and all of the features I use regularly work as expected. I'm not aware of any enabled feature that doesn't work as advertised, but I also don't use every feature regularly which is why I need your help testing.

It will be back soon, thanks to dmilligan.

Praise the lord for he has spoken!

Hi,

ML for 1100D is dead?

I'm also quite interested in the current state of things regarding development. I hope nanomad sees this.

Wow thinks that would be great!
If you dont mind email me the link

The audio sucks, man I wish I had another proper camera, but here it is: /watch?v=uQHNYSWI6qg

could you possibly explain it to me?
i cant seeem to figure it out 

I will be making a video/tutorial explaining some basic stuff on ML on the 1100D in the near future.

Hello,
I am quite the beginner in this but I have a question that I would greatly appreciate if someone would answer it. If I am not mistaken there is no manual exposure adjustment in the video mode. Would this ever be able to be changed? Is it possible that we one day may have a way to manually adjust exposure? An answer would be awesome.

PS I am willing to test any proto-builds so feel free to email me!

Hey there,
I'm pretty sure you can actually do so. What I did to accomplish this is to go to the ML menu, Expo tab, turn on Exp. Override and then changing the settings in the same tab. I hope this helps!

Hi,

I am very new but bery interested in magic lantern for my 1100d. I admire the work devs have done to enable these awesome features and I am forever gratefull. I really like the idea of recording raw video on these relatively cheap camera's and it is sad that it appears to be too locked out to do on this one. I did come across this chart that looks similar to the one on the raw section of the forum(perhaps a newer/older version) detailing what cameras do raw at what settings and in this chart the 1100d does appear to be working. (http://news.doddleme.com/equipment/magic-lantern-raw-how-canon-cameras-perform/)

I presume this was an error but I am crossing my fingers and hoping someone did manage to get it working somewhat. I would love to help out in any way I can. I don't know any of the C languages so that would be testing only. I read nanomad's posts here and it seems like development towards raw on this camera is pretty much dead, which honestly is sad but understandable. Is this the case?
