Reading first post of this thread might help. Use "Show older builds" to get last successful build.

If you are referring to my experimental build with the white balance hack, you can find it here:

https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads

This is where I share my working version and it contains stuff that hasn't been merged yet so caveat emptor!

Thx @a1ex, @dfort, @dpjpandone and everyone else.

[dfort]

Yay!

Thanks @Licaon_Kter for running through all those batteries in order to create the data needed to make this happen.

[tupp]

Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks!

[DeafEyeJedi]

Merry Christmas to @Licaon_Kter for your excellent work as always as well as to everyone else on board for bringing magic back to the M.

Feels good to finally take out the little M from my kit bag and will definitely do a test run with the latest ML on it once again!

I'm looking for feedback about FPS override changes.

In particular, set FPS override to max (65 fps) and try all available modes. You should get the following figures:

* 45.02 fps in 3x crop standby (available for raw recording; limited to 45 as suggested by LK)
* 34.37 fps in 3x crop H.264 (without video hacks)
* 31.24 in 1080p 1x (can be pushed to 33fps in H.264 if desired)
* 62.16 fps in 720p (can probably be pushed further)
* 31.24 fps in photo mode (no big deal here)
* 35.96 fps in 5x zoom (available for raw recording; can be pushed further if desired)

And, of course, you should not get garbled images in any video mode.

Many thanks to A1ex, Licaon_Kter, dfort, and dpjpandone for your efforts to improve ML for the EOS M, and making possible this new nightly build !

I do not shoot video, but I'm glad to see that an old issue with A-ETTR present in previous builds for EOS-M seems fixed now.

ETTR worked in previous versions, but the "ETTR ..." on-screen message during exposure adjust locked and did not dissapear until I pressed the shutter button.  So I needed to look at ETTR hint in RAW histobar to know if A-ETTR had already fiinished calculation or not. With the new build, this issue is gone, A-ETTR works fine.


Thanks again !

Not sure I saw that before, but I'm glad it's fixed.

Is anyone here using a Wi-Fi SD card with their EOS M? Please could someone recommend me one, I'd really like to be able to transfer RAW to my phone and edit in Snapseed (supports RAW). Thanks!!

[Licaon_Kter]

AFAIk their (mostly) not supported by ML anyway: https://www.google.com/search?q=magic+lantern+wi-fi+card+site:www.magiclantern.fm

[Walter Schulz]

Eye-Fi X2 won't work but according to a1ex Transcend card may have not that problem.

[Licaon_Kter]

Yeah, but the speed is meh.

[maxEmpty]

OMFG a1ex, Licaon_Kter, dfort, and dpjandone for making this update possible, it took 9 months but it was the best christmas present i could have gotten from a bunch of people i have never met. you are all angels to me now and i hope you have the happiest holiday season ever!!!!!!!!!!

magiclantern-Nightly.2015Dec21.EOSM202

Ran the following FPS tests. Max user selectable FPS topped at 70. Tests run at both 65 and 70, no change between them.
Resulting displayed fps results:

1920x1080@30 (no crop mode)
Actual fps: 31.237
Lowest shutter I can select is 1/34.85. The next step after that results in flashing video with horizontal pink bands, and a shutter speed of 0" -6 degrees.
Highest selectable shutter speed: 1/8791, 1 degree.

1920x1080@24 (no crop mode)
Actual fps: 31.237
Lowest clean shutter: 1/34.85. Next step also results in flashing video with horizontal pink bands, and a shutter speed of 0" -6 degrees.
Highest selectable shutter speed: 1/8791, 1 degree.

1280x720@60 (no crop mode)
Actual fps: 31.237
At this setting, I was unable to reduce my shutter below 1/68.91 @ 163 degrees. Shutter speed idled between 1/68.83 and 1/68.91.

1920x1080@30 fps (Movie Crop Mode)
Actual fps: 45.022
Lowest clean shutter: 1/52.81. idles to 1/52.86. Next step, shutter 0" -162 degrees. Flashing video with horizontal pink lines.

1920x1080@24 fps (Movie Crop Mode)
Actual fps: 45.022
Lowest clean shutter:1/92.54 idles to 1/92.68. Next step, 0" -293 degrees. Flashing video with horizontal pink lines.

[a1ex]

Ouch - that doesn't sound good.

Do the artifacts go away if you increase Timer B?

If yes, can you find the safe limit for this timer in each video mode? (that is, the lowest value for Timer B where all shutter speeds work)

[Steve_FR]

Yes, artifacts begin to disappear as the Timer B is increased.  Below are the lowest safe limits I could find that keep the maximum shutter speed below 1/4000. At the high shutter speeds, there is still an alternating variance that occurs, causing the video to rapidly flutter between  exposure levels. It is not noticable at low shutter speeds, as the variance is 0.02. At shutter speeds in excess of 1/3000, the variance is over 1/200.

1920x1080 @ 30 fps (Canon Menu)
Desired FPS: 65 (from 30)
Actual fps: 30.389

FPS Timer A 520 -8 (no user change was made)
Fps Timer B 2025 (FT+55)

Shutter min 1/33.79
Shutter max 1/3619.80 and 3846.20 (idle variance)



1920x1080 @ 24 fps (Canon Menu)
Desired FPS: 65 (from 30)
Actual fps: 30.389
Fps Timer A 520 -8 (no user change was made)
Fps TImer B 2025 (FT+55)

Shutter min: 1/33.79
Shutter max: 1/3619.80 and 3846.20 (idle variance)


1280x720 @ 60 fps (Canon Menu)
Desired FPS: 65 (from 30)
Actual fps: 30.389
Fps Timer A 520 -8 (no user change was made)
Fps Timer B 2025 (FT+55)

shutter min: 1/64.84
Shutter max: 1/3619.80 and 3846.20 (idle variance)

ML FPS Override menu still displays "From 30" even when resolution is set to 1280x720 @ 60 fps in the canon menu, maximum actual FPS idles at 30.389.

[Licaon_Kter]

ML FPS Override menu still displays "From 30" even when resolution is set to 1280x720 @ 60 fps in the canon menu, maximum actual FPS idles at 30.389.

IIRC, the fps will change once RECording starts, the menu is at 30 always.

[Steve_FR]

Follow up for ML Movie Crop Mode timer values:

1920x1080 @ 30 fps (ML Movie Crop Mode)

Desired FPS: 65
Actual fps: 30.720

FPS Timer A: 532 (FT-8)
FPS Timer B: 1958 (FT+622)

Shutter min: 1/34.18
Shutter max: 1/3538.20 and 1/3759.40 (idle variance)


1920x1080 @ 24 FPS (ML Movie Crop Mode)

Desired FPS: 65
Actual fps: 24.581

FPS Timer A: 532 FT-8
FPS Timer B: 2447 (FT+1111)

Shutter min: 1/34.16
Shutter max: 1/3538.20 and 1/3759.40 (idle variance)

Side note: While testing FPS Timer B values above FT+1120, ML interface froze and I was unable to shut the camera off. I ejected the battery, and the problem occurred again. After quickly accessing ML menu and lowering Timer B, the problem did not happen again. I attempted to reproduce, but was unable to get it to happen a third time.

@Licaon_Kter You were right about the FPS, thank you!

[musicmanx]

hi,
but the max resolution for record in raw 25p whit the m1 ??

Thanks

Alessio

[Licaon_Kter]

At 24 fps I get 1280x720 infinite runtime.

[musicmanx]

thanks

Hi guys!
I'm having problems when I'm recording H264 video. The video turns to black after few minutes although the time indicator is still counting. This happens randomly (sometimes 3mins sometimes 15min) . I've tried with both ML and Canon interface, with different sd cards,another lens, different batteries but the problem still exists. I 've noticed weird colors (pink mostly) on lcd. I was using magiclantern-Nightly.2015Dec21.EOSM202 with 2.0.2 firmware. I've also re-updated 2.0.2 firmware with EOS Utility. It didn't worked. I have recorded a short session with another camera, you can download two small video files (around 5mb) from here : http://we.tl/pIBOem6yDS

Any ideas?

[Licaon_Kter]

I'm having problems when I'm recording H264 video.

Maybe report it here: https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/issues
