Canon 550D / T2i

Can anyone confirm the latest download?

Also, does it appear in general that Magic Lantern is slowly stopping support for this camera? Cameras in general?

All the nightlies found are for middle of 2018.

Thanks,

Remember it's community based.

So it's who ever can and wants to work on this camera build.

But with the flux of so many better camera which have better support & ports available, it's not appealing to work on this camera much.

Look into Experiments section. By the way, fully working adtg_gui module is the perfect start to implement crop_rec video and/or custom adtg gains. Look how Reddeercity did it for 5D2 - lot's of these things are avialable for 550d (try it!).

Or just keep the camera and keep waiting. I use my 550D with great pleasure.

Wondering what's the longest record time you can get with the 550D on RAW? I've been trying 14-Bit RAW and the longest I can get is 4 seconds at 2.35:1 (1728x736)

Hi! I am new here, but I've been using ML on this camera for a while. So I wonder why there's no 10-12 bit RAW support for this camera, I'd like to experiment with it and try to record lengthier videos, even by losing some of color depth. I mean, they're not that different with 600D which does have this module.

[Walter Schulz]

There are major differences, though:

It should be possible to get 10/12 bit working on the 500D and 550D which are the remaining Digic 4 LV State cameras but so far nobody has cracked that code.

The download link for the official firmware 1.0.9 is broken, and in Canon website it's just available the 1.1.0.
Someone have a backup of 1.0.9 version?

Edit:

find it here - https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/

The file "550D Canon Firmware for Testers.zip" contain "e8kr7109.fir" and "e8kr7110.FIR", the 1st one it's the official 1.0.9 firmware from canon?

We do need to upgrade to 1.1.0. Didn't someone test and find no issues? It was a pretty minor update I thought.

Who is "we"? dfort explained how to port to a new firmware version: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19417.msg183571#msg183571
Instruction refers to Bitbucket repository which is no more. Adaption needed. Good luck!

Erm... let's see how I explain this.

Last December my EOS550D got bricked, don't know why. I sent it to Canon's tech support, and they returned it with firmware 1.1.0 installed. Obviously, I couldn't keep using the official build anymore, so I downloaded dfort's unofficial build. I was going to test it exahustively, but then got busy with work... and then 2020 happened and had to focus on other stuff.

Now I might finally have some free time over the holidays, so I thought I'd get a stab at this project again, but I'm finding myself wondering: has there been any updates to this unofficial build during this year? Or am I good testing the build I downloaded one year ago?

Incidentally: why isn't that build available anymore? Did dfort decide to take it offline, or did Bitbucket close the account? I know that it's trivially easy to get download space and a free git repo these days, but still, if you need something in that regard and I can be of help, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
