Canon 6D / Firmware 1.1.3

[hmoorenz]

Just installed latest build and lost control over audio gain, is there anyway to get this back? And also my menu is disappearing after 2secs of inactivity, can I make that period longer? Thanks in advance

I dont find the DUAL ISO option.
Do I need to install addicional modules?

My version is: magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Nov02.6D113

Hey, I'm new to magic lantern, but i noticed that magiclantern-Nightly.2014Mar26.6D113 (which is the first version i've ever run, so I'm REALLY new  ) has dual iso in the module menu.  I hope that helps.

Download newest version from the first post. Or if you want to use Tragic Lantern (With Audio/ Bitrate Menu) follow this link: https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-6d/downloads

GPS powersave workaround (turn off at shutdown, restore at next reboot) is in the nightly builds, test it out!

Pull request (merged): https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-request/449/6d-gps-off-at-shutdown

Credits (chronologically):
* 1%: reverse engineering and initial implementation
* nanomad: initial cleanup
* me: simplified the menu and made the code a little more robust
* Marsu42 and Maqs: confirmed my changes working

For cameras without GPS, this code can be tested by faking PROP_GPS to PROP_WB_MODE_PH (white balance) with CONFIG_GPS_FAKE:
* 0 = auto WB = GPS off
* 1 = sunny = GPS external
* 2 = cloudy = GPS internal

P.S. Maqs is doing some really cool stuff by reverse engineering the GPS functionality.

Thanks for the latest update for the 6D. Thank you for the ability for the GPS to be off when the camera itself is shut off. I really can't understand why Canon didn't implement this from the start.

Thanks for the 6D update A1ex and the rest of the team. It's been about 5 months since I've updated the build or shot a bunch of RAW so good to see there was some collaboration and tough decisions to get the code on track. Look forward to this fresh install and will let you know if any issues occur. Planning on rocking the 6D for some gimbal footage soon and having RAW is always a plus.

[schedonnardus]

this awesome, thanks for all you guys do!

[slamming]

Hi A1ex, are you aware of the issues  some 6D owners are reporting in using the Auto-ETTR module in conjunction with the intervalometer?

 

[ptygmit]

Many thanks for this. Love the new GPS power save.

I've no idea how these things work, but would like to offer a small suggestion to further improve the GPS power save functionality. Is it possible to set the power save to only come into effect when the camera is powered off using the main switch, rather than the camera's auto power off feature? That way it would maintain a gps lock until the camera is physically shut down, at the end of a walk for example.

Hoe that makes sense...

Latest TL build dated 2014-03-19 seems to have a bug, that it shuts off the GPS when camera goes power save and does not restore it when it wakes up. When I loaded the older one (Feb 8th) it works fine.

Also, with the latest ML for 6D and because there are no audio controls there (yet?), is there a way to turn off AGC?

The first post points to a "Nightly Build": magiclantern-Nightly.2014Mar29.6D113.
The one I have its normal Magic Lantern: magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Nov02.6D113

Is there a new version of the "normal" ML?

[Marsu42]

Is there a new version of the "normal" ML?

Nope, no new "stable" in sight, just use the nightly and welcome to the bleeding edge :-p

Yes, from Canon menu.

I'have instaled firmware v114.  I can install this version?  Thank you

Nope, not supported yet, simply downgrade to 1.1.3 as the (nearly) only thing 1.1.4 does is screw 3rd party batteries.

Hello everybody,
this evening I have been reading ML tutorials, this forum and still have question.
Have I understood right that last archive on
https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-6d/downloads
is stable ML for 6D?
I had downloaded magiclantern-v31337.TRAGIC.2014Mar19.6D113.zip
but I am confused with this archive because of different folder structure and .fir file absence in comparison with ML Stable Release: v2.3
For installation should I just unzip magiclantern-v31337.TRAGIC.2014Mar19.6D113.zip and upload all files to SD card?

Best Regards, Sultansha.

[a1ex]

Nope, you did not download Magic Lantern, but a competing fork.

[Walter Schulz]

There is no stable ML release for 6D. You may use ML's nightly build or - as a1ex already told - Tragic Lantern, which isn't regarded as part of ML anymore.

Ciao
Walter

I'm sure someone already asked this but I couldn't find a proper answer. Would it be possible to bypass that with Magic Lantern so third party batteries show up as an original?

In theory I understand ML can hack any Canon function, but only after proper reverse engineering (which hasn't been done on that). But even then I wouldn't want ML to actively circumvent or counteract Canon's marketing decisions - however I might like them - because that could lead to the end of the ML-Canon truce.

I'm 90% sure that the battery check is out of reach for ML as it runs on an entirely different microcontroller

Maybe the check itself, but probably not the code that complains about a 3rd party battery and adds a annoyance delay ... but anyway, imho not a good idea to even try it.
