The current version on my github is usable on 500D. I expect it to work for other "rebel" model (550D, 600D, 650D, 700D,..), but I cannot be sure before some test is done. I may buy a 550D some day, when I have money and find a good deal.
Options of the module*Smooth changes:whether we want changes to be progressive or not
*Allow jumps: wether we allow jump changes in expo when huge expo changes are required (e.g instant change from dark to daylight).
Other demo videos 500D * Small expo changes, low light, using the canon's expo lock button to change expo only when desired, f2.3:
*Medium expo changes f2,5:
*Extreme expo changes, with jumps enabled f1.8:
Magic lantern testing build with this module(As it requires a small modification to core you have to update magic lantern completly)
USE AT YOUR OWN RISKS
*500D.111: tested on my camera
https://own-mailbox.com/magiclantern-Nightly.2017Dec01.500D111.zip*550D.109: not tested yet.
https://own-mailbox.com/magiclantern-Nightly.2017Dec01.550D109.zipTodo*For cameras with FRAME_ISO and FRAME-SHUTTER override, take advantage of this to make the system, smoother, a lot faster and more reliable.
*Make the module work for raw video mode.
Usability*Taking the expo at the beginning of the scene and lock it:
perfect*Scene with few and progressive light changes:
very good. Example: daylight selfy youtube video during sunset, dawn, or cloud passing-by.
*Scene with big light changes:
Could be better, but good for amateur shots (*) and will be better in the futur for cameras with FRAME_ISO override.
(*)Anyways I think only amateur shots would involve this kind of huge changes in light in the same shot.
Next?My next module will focus on focus in video mode.
