Hi, I just installed the Dec 7 build and tested the intervolometer script with default setting.  looks to be working great.  This is a great added feature.  I appreciate this work and would love to test any specific feature (any excuse to use my camera and try something new).

One thing, this build seems to default with movie mode and live view on anamorphic crop.  This may be my fault by not resetting things before updating.  even with a config reset it default to this setting.  I am sure It is probably something I have done and carried over from the old build.

My crash log states june28, not sure where/how I have that. Its not in my build folder. Might explain the crashing. Will go back to june25 and test again.
Is Autofocus usable? When I have autofosus on the camera does not always perform as expected and the raw video is littered with green pixels.  They are removed with focus pixel filter, bad pixel filter, and chroma3x3 all on.  But quality is noticeably less.

New build for 100D. Same goes like here:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9741.msg218622#msg218622

This takes my to EOS M.  The latest 100D I find is June26? Is that right?

The file for EOS M should work with 100D as well, or am I missing a link somewhere?

I tried the new build (crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets) Built on 2019-06-28
The camera never went continuous with 2.5K and eventually started crashing constantly.  I went back to Jun14 and everything works again.
I really have to "warm up" the SD card for several minutes and failed continuous, but eventually I get continuous recording with 2.5K.
Is it expected to have very noisy video, or do I need to mind my exposure and MLV post?

I have a beginner question.  I have played around mostly with video on this camera but I just tried to use a external flash trigger and I could not get the flash to fire. Works perfectly fine on my other camera.  Is there a limitation on this camera, and if so is there a fix within magic lantern?

5 updates!
,sorry hadn't noticed. They don't always come so quickly :) and was busy testing my "latest" b where I started playing around. I am getting good results so I see about testing June 28.

I will add... I get a LOT of noise, vertical stripes when shooting 2.5k @400 iso. Is that normal or to be expected?

I have been testing the raw crop modes. On the latest crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Jun14.100D101

I have a few issues:
First I have a little trouble understanding the menus.  I set the crop mode but don't get the resolution I want.
I was able to get a nearly continuous recording at [email protected], 12bits lossless.
However I have not been able to duplicate the setting.

Trying to figure things out I have found that if preview is set to framing (which I thought was recommended) then things go buggy. If set to real time things seem better but without full frame view of course.
Sometimes also the crop menu goes gray and i cant change things. Sometimes i can change crop modes but then can not change resolution in the raw settings. A camera reset seems to help.

I have also found that my 100MB/s card will only sustain 20MB/s or so for the first few minutes then it goes up to around 40MB/s (the theoretical max if I am not mistaken).

After a few more attempts I have found after warming up I can sustain 2528x1090 ,9bit.

So I am just reporting my experience now.  If anyone can verify or clarify any of the above that would be appreciated.

I apologize if any of this is already covered.  I have not had a lot of play/test time with the camera, but I have been shooting video with it for a few months now and am just finding the time to realize the benefit of raw and the MLVapp (which seems to be pretty fantastic after a handful of test video.

One question: is there no possibility to get say 2592x1152 with a 2x3 binning?

I have a small question about FPS adjustments.  When I shoot say 50 fps i can adjust shutter from 1/64 to 1/4000, but if I start lowering the fps at some point I loose the ability to adjust shutter speed.  The is quite restrictive if I want to shoot a slow (timelapse) video in daylight, and additionally shooting anything moving is problematic.  I find this surprising but hey its a hack and I take what i can get.  Or have I missed something. Would someone mind (briefly) explaining why this is?

There should be a message at the bottom of your screen when in the crop_rec menu that says:

Try that. I think pressing the Menu button twice will also clear it up. Basically you need to refresh LiveView manually with these bleeding edge builds.

Tried refreshing, but that did not help.  I get display problems with all crop modes exept mvl1080 and mlv720.

I think I have a bug;
I just installed "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Feb08.100D101"
I enabled crop_rec and selected 3x3 720p.  everything is fine until the camera sleeps.  when i half press the shutter the camera wakes and the live view is covered 1/3 from the bottom with what look like white zebra bar.

Just started with ML.  I can seem to get focus peaking.  I enabled the feature, but what am I doing wrong.  Should I try the experimental build?

Is it possible, and what would it take to get trap focus working

This cam is fun to use, easy to go with and a very good choice for going handheld /street photography with a not-so-bulky lens. Very, very good price-performance ratio IMO! (Mint condition: 165€, Germany)

I would go and check ergonomics first. Grip might be an issue for not-so-medium hand sizes.

ergonomics is a compromise, but compact is a plus in this case.
650d is a close 2nd choice
165€ German  would be a no brainer, but cheapest i have seen is 350€ Germany in used condition!
battery can be charged and I rarely make extended shoots

Hi,  I tested a 600d with magic lantern and am sold on magic lantern but decided to rethink the 600d.  I think the 100d will be my choice.  being that it seems to be in perpetual alpha, i would like to know it this is suitable for a daily driver as long as i don't need raw or UHD.  Is it capable of good HD video and the usual photo perks like intervalometer, focus peaking, etc, etc?
Most of the discussion is all around the raw bits which i don't think will be of interest to me other than to test and play around.
I am looking for a dedicated magic lantern, cheap hobby video device that i can use with manual adapted lenses, and and cool photo features.  Is the 100d the right choice even though its alpha?
thanks

Hi, first post here....
I am currently on a 40D and since ML has not been available I am considering getting a 600D to play around with ML and as a video recorder for family videos.  Do you think this is a wise choice?  I have considered all options and even though the camera is quite old I can get a reasonable deal and as a second camera for ML/video it seems to me the best bang for buck available. 
Opinions/suggestions?
