EOS M graphical glitches after MAGIC LANTERN UNINSTALLED

Disease · August 25, 2018, 03:16:39 PM

Hi I have a problem because I bought a camera to run some tests and now I want to return it but after uninstalling magic lantern it still appears that some strange remnants of the graphics overlay still appears on screen sometimes. I saved the log files when I installed it as instructed. What can I do to get it back to exactly how it was from the factory?

Thanks.

May I ask how you uninstalled ML? Do you have backups of your ROM files created during first install?

What graphics? How did you uninstall? Screenshots of the issues?

I saved the log files.

I uninstalled it how you are supposed to by loading firmware then waiting.

See the blue bars at the top and bottom of the screen when it shows the picture preview? Isn't that a glitch?

Unable to indentify the blue bars you are talking about. Can you snapshot a frame and highlight the problem area for us?

Set your cam to still photo mode. You're in movie mode. Or if that isn't helping follow Walters suggestion.

There are long lines across the image when it appears on the screen of the camera at the top and bottom they are very obviously there. Take another look.

They do not appear in stills mode.

Are they meant to be there? Or was it magic lantern that glitched out ?

There are no blue bars in your video.
Go to Canon menu and change photo aspect ratio from 16:9 to 3:2.
RTFM, esp. p108.

On the monitor of the camera not on my video, the video is being shot on my phone. Can you see what is happening in the video? It is a video of my camera made with my phone and after I take a pic the camera previews the photo and while the photo is on screen there is a line along the top and bottom.

In the case of the [4:3], [16:9], and [1:1] aspect ratios, the aspect-ratio lines will appear during image playback, but the lines are not actually drawn on the image.
