Canon 650D [OLD]

You need to enable the bootflag in your camera. And the only way to do that is with a firmware update. Which i dont think has been released publicly. So if you have it from the first release then you can run ml if not then you need to wait more. I wish i had it!

yea i think its better to wait for public release

[MarlonSenanayake]

There are some specific steps to make our camera bootable frist before you can even boot Magic Lantern. Please read the original post. You will see that there is a small print hinting on how you might make your camera bootflag enabled. This is somewhat risky and should be done carefully.

That ZIP file is okay. It worked well on those of us who had already enabled the bootflag on our camera before. It is indeed your camera's bootflag that need to be enabled. And if you are new to this kind of thing, you are better off just waiting for the official release if you cannot risk breaking your camera.

thnx bro

Was so excited to test the pre-alpha2, but I guess I can't since bootflag isn't enabled, only pre-alpha1 testers can do it since there is no firmware dumper available yet.

[SlimSpydey]

Does anyone have a link to the DevKit, I see the small text but no link to the "repository" where I can download it.

EDIT: Ignore my noobiness, I found it and was able to set the bootflag and install ML.

At this point it seems a bit buggy, as it was jumping from liveview to menu's and a No Image screen, but after it ran for a bit that went away.

I will try to make a tutorial video tonight on how to go about installing ML on the 650D, from a bone stock camera.

Thank you nanomad for this update! I have loaded the new version, and is ready to play with it First impression is good!

And about people complaining about an vague installation instruction, i think it on purpose; Remember this is still an PreAlpha, and I don't recommend it for you if you haven't read at least this thread. I think you will find some hints someplace (think I have seen so...) But I am lucky - my camera was Bootflag-enabled at the first PreAlpha, so I don't have to look for it

[MarlonSenanayake]

it works. i booted just right now, its working

[nanomad]

The instructions were vague on purpose. I don't want people running it without thinking a bit. Heck it's not even an alpha.
But once again it's clear that people don't even read the second line, let alone the fine print.

Good thinking,
Even though i went into the installation confused, having to look into it forced me to learn about how the camera works and the dangers involved.

That being said, I'll hold off on doing a tutorial video which will hopefully keep people from bricking their cameras.

[kazeone]

seriously, I guess common sense or patients is lacking with people, you specifically declared that this was for testing with people already set up for testing, not for adding new people who have never done this before which means would offer no assistance in fixing any problems since they have no clue in how to load the firmware to begin with which screams put your camera down and walk away before you hurt yourself... ~_~

Let the people who know what they are doing work on this and stop being hassled by all the newb questions on something clearly people have no idea and this way they can actually focus on working and making this better instead of wasting time answering questions that shouldnt be asked at this time.

[MarlonSenanayake]

this is awesome, how long will it take to release stable for 650D

Magic Zoom box is flickering, not work poperly

[nanomad]

Magic Zoom box is flickering, not work poperly

Tell me
- video mode resolution and FPS (even if in photo mode)
- magic zoom settings, all of them

[MarlonSenanayake]

Tell me
- video mode resolution and FPS (even if in photo mode)
- magic zoom settings, all of them

video mode resolution - 1080p 24fps
magic zoom - (+) , Med, TL, 2:1 (this is how it shows, i don't know)

[nanomad]

Got a fix, gonna try it

[MarlonSenanayake]

video mode. when in standby it flicker heavily, when recording it low flickering. and when recording small line appear middle of screen.(when magick zoom box on)

[blade]

Nanomad, and all the other devs.... Thanx

Now i will give my smaal contribution:

nomad. it flick also in photo mode. two box appear on screen, magic zoom box and. samll one middle on screen

[nanomad]

That's how it works, the small box is where the zoom box is looking at

[blade]

Forgot to ask...video or photo mode? If video mode, was it recording?

(I guess video mode, stby)

For me in Photomode the image inside the box flickers every 3-4 seconds.

In movie mode the lower 1/3 of the box is flickering wile the top 2/3 are fine. This is also true while recording.

[nanomad]

Got it fixed in video mode, but the LV "corruption"  is still there

[MarlonSenanayake]

That's how it works, the small box is where the zoom box is looking at

not that box buddy. ill upload a photo tomorrow, same box look like magic zoom box

[nanomad]

not that box buddy. ill upload a photo tomorrow, same box look like magic zoom box

Great thanks.

Looks like the 650D maxes out at around 40MB/s ... what a shame

[Ivarss]

Just got this working! Its 03:02 here in sweden so will start testing it tommorow and provide the feedback needed! Thanks alot for releasing it to everyone this time!

This is totally worth the wait!

Loving ML so far. Didn't really have time to really test it today but I plan on testing tomorrow. I hope I don't upset anyone but I thought i'd share howto make you camera bootable, enable the SD card bootflag and howto load ML. This assumes you know a little about virtualization or are able to look into howto load the image and get the .fir file onto the SD card on your own as I won't go into detail on that.

Instructions:

Make the camera bootable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Download one of the VM guest OS images. (I chose the VMware image and enabled hardware virtualization on my motherboard)
 
 -start  the guest OS.
  -copy ~/magic-lantern/platform/650D.101/devkit/650D-safe-dumper.fir to the root of your SD card
   -Place the SD card in the camera navigate to the fourth wrench menu and select firmware, camera, than select ok.

OR (easy)

-Download the .fir file from https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/src/99bd629f7c5712346369840e64c04fd2d4576520/platform/650D.101/devkit/650D-safe-dumper.fir?at=unified (Thanks to Lucas_W for pointing out the link, I would have uploaded the .fir myself but thought who would use firmware from some stranger)

Enable the bootflag on the SD card:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Do a low-level format of the SD card (DO NOT SKIP THIS)
 - Enable SD card bootflag using EOSCard or similar ( software to make the card bootable: http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/3rd_party_software )
 
Install Magic Lantern
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Copy over the files to the SD card ( Download ML Alpha 2 for the 650D here: http://nanomad.magiclantern.fm/650D/magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Apr30.650D.PreAlpha2.zip and unzip to the root of your SD card. You should than have a ML folder and an autoexec.bin on the root of your SD card.

That's how it works, the small box is where the zoom box is looking at

http://www.mediafire.com/?72vh8vja86y5jdc this is the two boxes i mentioned, small pink lines appear on screen when switch to photo mode, and also flicker ini video mode
