Canon 1100D / T3

[Brand Brand]

Maybe somebody did an April's Fools joke and forgot about it?

Good one lol 

[nanomad]

Not enough free memory
And the new boot method doesn't work on the 1100D

I'll probably disable that feature

[a1ex]

It should be rewritten to use memory chunks, see g3gg0's test code. 50D also needs it.

[nanomad]

1100D port is now working again
Next stop: Memory chunks

Thanks man/men, gonna try it in a few hours.

[nanomad]

I'll push a new build then

Looks like it's working

If i got it right, I now can cycle the chunks and use them to store stuff. Right?

[a1ex]

Yep. Add files to first chunk, and when it's full, move to next chunk.

I can confirm that the 21st of April works just fine.
Minor bug, though and I am not sure from when it is, I just noticed while testing today's nightly:
I activated Follow Focus and messed around with the settings and the focus, until it sort of broke. It said "Focus error ", and from that point the autofocus, the autoexposure and the shutter was dead (I couldn't take a picture at all). I turned off the camera (it should be noted that I was in LiveView, so that I could mess with Follow Focus) but the mirror did not come down. I turned it on again, it started in the non LV Canon interface (even though the mirror was still up), I pressed the LV button, it went right into LV as if nothing happened, then I tried to turn LV off to get the mirror back down and it didn't work, so I turned off the camera again, still no mirror action. Now, when I turned the camera back on, the same happened, the Canon interface showed up BUT, when I tried to turn off the camera, the interface was still there (as if it had crashed), so I just took out the battery, put it back on and when I closed the battery lid, the mirror came down. (note: during the testing of autofocus and autoexposure and taking a picture I tried deactivating autofocus from the lens, which is a kitlens with variable aperture - the EF-S 18-15mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II)

Again, I am unsure as to when this became a problem since I always fiddled around with the focus and nothing went wrong before.
I tried to the problem, but it didn't work, the build continued to function without incident.

(No crash logs have been created, only 2 "ROMx.bin"s, of 16 MB each, way before the incient.)

[nanomad]

The focus error is not really an error, more like the lens not responding to focus commands. It happens with a lot of lenses.
The bug you reported, instead, seems a lot more serious.

[KyuR]

Hi everyone!
Is the EF-S lens flickering fixed in this new nightly?
Thanks in advance!!!

[cerbeld]

Hi,

do you have a clue why you can´t control aperture in video mode with the 18-55mm Kit lense? Is it possible to control aperture in fps override mode at for example 2fps with the 50mm prime lense? Would be great for daytime timelapse without ND-filter.

thanks..keep up the good work!

Is it ok, that I always see focus over time rolling (rolling "histogram" look like) in the bottom of screen?
I can't find the way to turn it off. I want to turn it off to save cpu cycles...
In 600D it shows only when trap focus is enabled.

ps: seems that it only appears in 4:3 screen layout.

BTW, there is still bug with aperture control and flicker. And in-camera formatting shows malloc error (auto movie restart don't work too)

[nanomad]

Aperture control is still bugged, the focus stuff is due to the 4:3 layout, not much we can do (and it doesn't really use that much cpu anyway).
The malloc error requrires a new memory management library that I'm polishing up

Hi,

When i use bracketing in ML modus everything is working ok, i always use 7 pictures.
When i dont use ML (pressing SET and turn my 1100D on) the bracketing modus of 7 pictures is still working
I have to manually turn it of in ML modus before going to the normal firmware.


You are doing a great job with this firmware !

[nanomad]

Uhm, what happens if you remove the card?

[Urbexgamma]

Without the card it is taking 1 photo.

[nanomad]

Uhm, so some ML task is running anyway. Time to check the code

[Urbexgamma]

Ok, take the time you need for it

So I'm trying the May 2 nightly, and I can't get Focus Peaking to do anything. It seems that I can't enable GlobalDraw. The options under Overlay/Global Draw are either OFF or LiveView (a previous nightly from February had ON instead of LiveView, I think). Now OFF, I understand. But when I select LiveView, all of the other Overlay entries remain greyed out. If I select one, there's red text saying "GlobalDraw is disabled, check your settings". Well, that's the Global Draw setting right there, right?

Maybe Focus Peaking doesn't work on the T3? Do I have stale settings?

Thanks!

[nanomad]

Go to liveview, hit DISP a bunch of times. ML only works when canon overlay are disabled

[sfmurph]

Ah! That's it. Thanks for that. Is is a bug that the config screen says "check settings"? It appears to grey out the settings when Global Draw can't be activated due to the Canon overlay.

[nanomad]

It probably can be made better. Suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

I'm taking a DSLR Video class and the instructor has recommended we all download Magic Lantern, but my camera is the T3 and, of course, it isn't ready.  Does anyone have an idea when it will be finalized?  We're going into week 3 on Monday, and I just want to know if this is even option, or if I have to join the Nikoners and go without.  I have already tried using the nightly, but, being a noob, it's lost on me.

Thanks,
Lena

It is available through the nightly. Follow the normal install instructions. Waiting for a proper release won't make that process any easier.
