Camera-specific Development / Re: 7D ML backporting from TL

« on: December 21, 2013, 09:55:34 PM »

Wow. Lot of things happened here...  Cool.

For those who are using any TL versions:
The "official" nightly build contains the ML from the main repo.
None of the changes of 1% merged back to here until now so don't start to complain about it.
If you are using any TL build then keep using it.
These nightly builds are for people who want to check the state of the main 7D ML.
Backport TL changes to the main repo is a time consuming task but I prefer to keep 7D ML up to date.
Any help appreciated.
If you want a stable ML on your 7D you can help testing different functions and compare these functions in TL and ML.
What the developers need mostly is feedback.

Camera-specific Development / Canon 7D Mark I

« on: December 20, 2013, 02:57:02 PM »

Nightly compiled, you may try it: http://builds.magiclantern.fm/

Thank you!

Installation:
1) Format the card from the camera.
2) Make sure you are running Canon firmware 2.0.3.
3) Copy ML files on the card and run Firmware Update.

Uninstallation:
1) Run Firmware Update from your ML card.
2) Follow the on-screen instructions.

Doesn't putting it back just mean making a mercurial changeset that moves the 7D.203 sub dir up one level out of the "unmaintained" folder, and edits the Makefile.platform.map so that 7D.203 is not in the unmainained list? And then making a pull request for that so a1ex can merge it? Or do you see something else is needed?

Done.

Hey Alex,

Nobody wants to stay away from the main ML development.
As I and g3gg0 said it in your commit's comments the 7D platform was not outdated at all.
I proposed that I maintain the 7D platform but you never put it back.
I have no right to put it back to the main repo and you stated you don't merge nothing but patches.
So what can we do?
People want nightly builds and if you remove them then they will find the way how can they get them back.
Don't get me wrong but you are overreacting this a little bit.
If 7D TL brings solutions I will backport it to the main ML source.

pel is currently trying to get 7D to work with 2.0.5, but this would take some time.

https://bitbucket.org/Pelican/7d205

I shared the code that I've made for the new 2.0.5 platform because I'm not at home so I cannot test it myself...

* also anyone have a backup of 2.0.3 unmodified/stock fir? Canon pulled it off their site already.

I have a collection of Canon EOS firmwares on the bottom of the EOScard page.

(I hope my site will alive from now... they still not finished working on it.)

no joke, and with a lot other Lenses too (Canon 50/1.4, Canon 18-135(old), Canon 10-22)
occuring today with tragiclantern-Tragic.2013Nov14.7D203 in Ai-Servo using single AF-point
and one year ago on 21.10.2012 (I guess with alpha2)

Could you describe how do you reproduce the bug?

111

Tragic Lantern / Re: 7D Raw Thread

« on: December 14, 2013, 01:43:46 PM »

Couldn't reproduce the bug in AI Servo mode, either.
Have you tried "One Shot"?

Ciao
Walter

No. But I've never used One Shot mode on my camera (I had this bug in AI Servo).

EDIT:

Could you reproduce the bug with the 100L and the 10-22 and Britom's build 29SEP2013 in One Shot mode?

112

Tragic Lantern / Re: 7D Raw Thread

« on: December 14, 2013, 12:42:15 PM »

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the bug...

What I tried:
- I used Britom's build 29SEP2013 (which EOScard automatically downloads*)
- lenses: 28-80L, 10-22, 100L, 300/2.8L
- AF modes: spot AF, 19 point AF
- AI servo

I can change the lens in any order but the focus is still working in both AF mode.


*: I've changed my host and they messed up my site, so it's not working right now.

They stated it at every firmware upgrade, but that was not true.

I've just downgraded my camera from 2.0.5 to 2.0.3. There is no restriction at all.

Tragic Lantern / Re: 7D Raw Thread

« on: December 13, 2013, 10:01:11 AM »

Unfortunately nobody could reproduce the bug and it is totally unpredictable.
The symptom is the AF goes crazy, like not focusing to the target but hunting on the whole focus range and stops at the nearest point (even if the focus hunting is off). Sometimes the change of the AF mode helps but sometimes you have to remove ML completely (and also remove battery) to get back the working AF.
That's the main reason why I'm not using ML in my photography, I lost some nice action because this bug so when I go to the field I always turn off ML.

The autofocus problem is a known issue but it's not connected to TL all the 7D ML versions can cause that.

I've commented them out.

Code: [Select]

/*
NSTUB(0xff0372b4, PD_RemoteRelease)         // pel: 2.0.3 stub points to the middle of the "NotifyPrcmRecStartFromSlave %d" code... probably wrong

I've upgraded my 7D to fw 2.0.5
My third party batteries are still working so there is no big harm in it (like Canon did with 5D3 and 6D).
Dumped the ROM and made a new stubs.S for the new fw version.

Tragic Lantern / Re: 7D Raw Thread

According to several sites announcing 2.0.5, once upgraded, downgrading is not possible.

They stated it at every firmware upgrade, but that was not true.

I don't know if it is appropriate to say it here, but after upgrade to 7D's latest firmware 2.0.5 from Canon, I was no longer able to boot into ML, the camera was just dead. I had to  pull the battery for 10 seconds to revive that thing (without ML card in it). I deleted the ML directory and autoexec.bin from the root directory, but still could not boot with the camera, so the only solution is to format the card before put it into the camera, but I have loads of photos and movies in the card which I don't want to delete for now.

Any remedy? I am not sure downflash the camera to earlier versions would help.

So prewarning: if you want to keep ML on 7D, don't flash to Canon's firmware 2.0.5.

That is the normal behavior. Nothing unexpected.

Thanks Walter.
I'm using a mac and I don't have NTFS as a format option.
MS-DOS(FAT) I tried... no luck.
Camera still displays:
"Firmware update program
        Update file
     cannot be found.
  Please check the memory
    card and reload the
  battery and try again."

Interesting.
The same happened with an 5D MKII a month ago...

I personally, without any supporting evidence, think that this pink frame issue is caused by hardware. If you remember the news that 7D will sometimes mess up two pictures into one when 7D comes out, I believe that is the reason. It might be caused by CPU or DMA chanel is not coping fast enough. So, if it is hardware, the issue will be innate, and there is no way to be fixed by software.

I bought my 7D on the first day and never had noticed that messed up pictures...
After you read m1ke's post even strange what you think...

Well actually that's not correct to use figures in that way. At the moment there have been only 24 votes and that is not ALL of ML users is it?

EDIT: At the current count there is apparently 938 ML members.

Really?
