Hi Guys,
thanks for your help, but i'm still not getting to the point.

I try to better explain my situation:

I've already read the instructions on the forum and already installed the alpha firmware, but not making the CF bootable.
I've installed everything following ML wiki-instructions.
Everything was pretty easy: updated to the last canon firmware, downloaded ML and run it from the camera.
It works! but i don't have any module such as raw, silent burst or any other.

So i came here and tryed to understand and i've seen there is a complete different way to install the software, but, as i'm on a mac, i got confused since i can't understand what exactly i have to do.
(in the first place it seemed i had to use eos utility, but now seems i can skip it).

I'm really sorry for bothering you with silly questions  :-[

@britom

Love the video, love the music :D

What workflow did you use? I see also some flicker in the sky, did you use ACR in the workflow?



@juanmelchor

You need to update your raw module... but also 2 more files. In total,

7D_203.sym
autoexec.bin
raw_rec.mo



Here you will get wall the info that you need,

Go to warning settings in ML menu and disable the warning for the Av Mode  ::)

Hi,

Today I will try everything you have told me. Thank you very much arrinkiiii and Walter Schulz!  ;D

hi arrinkiiii,
thanks for your reply, but just linking to the same instruction page doesn't help me much.

I wrote that i've read the instructions, but i get confused...mainly because they're for PC users and i'm on a mac, so some of the files i need to download don't work for me.

I also tried to follow the "if you're on a mac" posts, but (as i said before) i got confused since the information are a bit technical, spread around different posts and sometimes are different (ex: in the first place seemed that EOS utility was needed and then not).

What i asked (ad would REALLY help me) is a "mac user step by step guide" to get raw shooting so that a newbie like me can just follow along.
Thanks again.


arrinkiiii


I am  windows user  ??? Let see if some mac user can help you... can't help more than the instructions, sorry  :( 

biere1

no problem...thanks anyway...

any mac user out there that would help me?

I'm a mac user and got it to work.. I used Prarllels to use the EOScard software.. That fixed it for me.. You can see if the new firmware is working with bootflag by the new and updated GUI

Did you enable the bootflag?

You are trying to do impossible thing: the original, non-bootable 7DMLa2 never will work with modules.
You have to use the latest, module capable autoexec.bin for the raw_rec (and other) modules.
Just follow the instructions for the mac users and use macboot instead of EOScard to make your card bootable.
(Or just simply sell your macbook :) and buy a decent laptop)

Hello!

A little help for mac users:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/prhvvukktwn3wfz/7D.zip

contain:

1. booton.fir - patched firmware which will enable boot flag in your camera
2. bootoff.fir - patched firmware which will disable boot flag
3. 7D000203.FIR - original firmware 2.0.3
4. MacBoot - java application wich help you make your CF card bootable
5. run – shell script to run java app properly.
6. Magic Lantern Pelican's build with all modules and fixes.

Download, unpack.
1. Enable bootflag on your camera, put booton.fir to root of your CF card, insert it in camera and update firmware, extract CF, delete booton.fir
2. Put original 7D000203.FIR to root of your CF card, insert, update, eject, delete 7D000203.FIR
3. Take any CF insert to your ugly macbook (use card reader of course), double-click "run" script, enter your admin (root) password, note that you should have installed Java (download from Oracle if not).
4. In MacBoot interface select size of CF card which you inserted and press Refresh then select "Make DSLR-bootable" and press Prepare Card
5. Copy all folders and files from "To root of CF card" folder to root of you prepared CF card ;)
6. Insert it to you lovely 7D and power on.
7. Press trashcan button, Navigate to "M" menu and load all modules
8. have a nice sex :)

P.S.
Sorry for poor English.

This is compiled dcraw and cr2hdr you will need it in near future :)
unpack to Desktop, press Cmd-Shift-G in dialog type /usr/local/bin press enter
drag these files (dcraw and cr2hdr) to this opened window with name "bin"
open Terminal.app and try to type dcraw and press enter, you should see something like this:

DenJS-MacBookAir:~ denjs$ dcraw

Raw photo decoder "dcraw" v9.19

Usage:  dcraw [OPTION]... [FILE]...

if yes then you on right way...

I installed the latest 7D build this morning, and had a mess with the silent picture burst.

Got 69 frames on the default settings and 58 frames zoomed in.

How are people getting more then 2 seconds of RAW footage though? Am I missing some settings or something?

In Silent burst mode only that frames.

Did you read this threat?  :D

Finally! Yes! Magiclantern with raw_rec work in my camera! :) But... while I'm recording video raw on the screen does not display the live image is frozen. Is it normal?

I have downloaded the raw_rec.mo, autoexec.bin and 7D_203.sym files. I put the .mo file in the modules folder, and replaced autoexec.bin at the root of the card. There was no 7D_203.sym file to overwrite.

Started up ML and loaded the modules, but got errors for all of them and none of them loaded.

Any ideas?

Walter Schulz

@juanmelchor: Yes, it's just sad but the most recent version is not usable.

@mr_pablo: Download the newest EOScard utility from http://www.pel.hu/down and reinstall ML to your card. Afterwards copy those 3 files to their destinations. RAW will work then and not. See juanmelchor's post.

Ciao, Walter

Walter I wouldn't call it totally unusable. While it is a pain to only be able to frame a shot, and not be able to track or follow focus, the current raw_rec module does record images to the card, and the images I've played with so far are pretty nice. Just frame a shot, hit record, capture as much as you think you can with out being able to see a live feed, end record, and then hit the menu button twice to unfreeze the display.

I'm uploading a test video with the current raw_rec build today, I'll post it here when I get around to it.

It's far from perfect, but I wouldn't discourage people from testing it. Especially since it seems we might not have a better build for a while.


Cheers, and thanks to everyone who has gotten it this far.

The version of EOSCard I used this morning was the latest.

Format the card in your cardreader (NTFS or ExFat), put it into your cam, format it there, put it back to cardreader and let EOScard run. Copy the files after EOScard has written the file structure and boot record.

I have done all that. I then tried to install the raw_rec.mo plugin, but it didn't work (see my original post above).

Walter Schulz

If you have done it once: Do it twice.

Question is, why do I not see a 7D_203.sym file on a fresh ML card install?

rodon

I know I'm late to the party, but I might as well put my video from last week up. I was still using RAW burst mode at the time:

I guess you missed reading about right clicking the ML symbol. Make sure to mark "Ports in progress" and "7D 2.0.3 alpha2". Press "Save" after EOScard has downloaded the files.

No, seeing as that is what I did in the very first place to get ML to work, minus the raw_rec.mo plugin. Stop being condescending.
