T2i Magic Lantern for 550D in progress!

YEs its AMAZING, so small ISO increments ,i try not to bump into ISO higher than 12800 cause ive seen screen grabs and it doesnt look safe,so button to decrease value would be great.
You can change ISO in ML menu and check the picture pressing shutter button gently - menu will disappear and you can judge exposure.
BTW 60D has magic lantern too,it booted succesfully.

16gb Class 10 Transcend now working in my t2i, after Canon 1.0.8 -> Canon 1.0.9 firm + ML 1.0.9-ml-2010d.

(As above in #190 & 196, was having some trouble with ML 1.0.8 on Canon 1.0.8... 16gb class 10 wouldn't boot, and not until using a 2gb card, was I assuaged of no brick. But even then, there were no menus. So, then got menus via Wagner's kind post in above #210. But, price of added menus, was having to remove batteries after a shut-off, in order to re-start. So, then all-in for new Canon firmware, and after first updating t2i to Canon 1.0.9, followed by updating to ML 1.0.9 - using the ML firmware kindly linked to by Bwwd in above #215, now have menus, 16gb Class 10 card use, and no apparent battery in/out issues.)

Again, for me, key was to flash the latest Canon firmware 1.0.9, and then use ML firm from #215. And I basically put new files into a folder on the C drive, which I had named MLinstall, and then just again followed the Derk tutorial, using the #215 files, rather then the older firmware in the tut.

The Zebra feature is outstanding.

Even if there were no audio improvement, with agc disable, the Zebras and menus would be well worth the ML install adventure.

(And also thanks to bwwd for the opaque scope crops in #213.)

Suppose the apparent new ISOs would be next reason for messing, but time to cash in the chips for now...
 
16gb class 10 Patriot's working with all the instructions in #215 as well. This is just KILLER. Thanks to EVERYBODY who is helping develop, install, and troubleshoot this! I don't even need to take the battery out for reboot. DDirector, RTFM. Follow the instructions to the T and you will be SET!
 
New version ! With fixed sound in playback mode and with ISO values displayed ,so now we have iso 100 to 25600 !!! With all values inbetween that 7D has ! :2vrolijk_08:

100,125,160,200,250,320,400,500,640,800,1000,1250,1600,2000,2500,3200,4000,4500,5000,6400,7000,8000,12500,25600

ISO's above 6400 looks the same in video mode,the might be useful for stills tho.

Can safely say that I have know experience with any hacks or magic lantern and just followed the instructions that comes with the download and with a MAC have ML up and running on the newest firmware from Canon....pretty sweet so far. 16gb transcend class 6 card...loving the zebras as well as no AGC...still trying to figure out the rack focus stuff
 
Is there a way to cycle the ISO level backwards? Or must I hit 'set' until it resets?
 
There is no way right now,Alex wrote that making button for decreasing values needs a bit of work,maybe later this week he will do it.
 
Did I just f*** something up?
I made the card non bootable and then formated the card.
Now, when I put the card into my camera it doesnt turn on. Without the card it does.
I did everything according to the instructions to make the card non bootable!

WTF!?!?!?!?!

HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I go on vacation SOON and I need the camera asap! AND IT WONT GO


EDIT:
Its fixed! OMG! That was the most scariesh **** ever!

You made card bootable ! Dont do that i explained clearly.Dont instert bootable card iwthout MLantern into the camera ,its not safe.
You pressed W in command line ,its making card bootable , you must do it again and press R !
Its explained very clearly on this website
http://www.derkoi.co.uk/film/index....e-canon-550d-t2i&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=1

If your camera will turn on normally then install canon firmware 1.9, if you do that then install magic lantern.Dont install 1.9 magic lantern on 1.8 canon firmware - you can brick the camera, dont install magic lantern 1.8 from derkoi website on canon 1.9 firmare - you can also brick the camera.
Again cropmarks for cinemascope:

It says clearly on his website :
IMPORTANT
To stop using the Magic Lantern firmware, you must disable the SD card from being bootable. If you just delete the firmware from the SD card, the camera won't boot & you could damage it.

But you did just that ,be careful there!

ML Qscale tests these are the data rates that I got after going through he Qscales.... unfortunately the camera would stop recording after only a few seconds at -14 thru -16....I would say its really only safe to record as high as -13 as of now...still testing stuff

-1: 8.8 Mb/s
-2: 9.6 Mb/s
-3: 11.8 Mb/s
-4: 13.9 Mb/s
-5: 15.0 Mb/s
-6: 17.1 Mb/s
-7: 21.0 Mb/s
-8: 24.3 Mb/s
-9: 29.6 Mb/s
-10: 35.3 Mb/s
-11: 42.0 Mb/s
-12: 48.0 Mb/s
-13: 56.3 Mb/s
-14: 64.2 Mb/s (flashes overheating icon and stops recording after 2 seconds)
-15: 67.5 Mb/s (flashes overheating icon and stops recording after 2 seconds)
-16: 86.7 Mb/s (flashes overheating icon and stops recording after 2 seconds)
 
Where in the QScale normal recording falls?

This is an amazing feature, but no doubt it can cause faster overheating, right? Or the difference can't be noticed?
 
New version , now you can go back to previous ISO using disp button ! :) More ISO choices

100,110,115,125,140,160,170,185,200,220,235,250,280,320,350,380,400,435,470,500,580,640,700,750,800,860,930,1000,1100,1250,1400,1500,1600,1750,1900,2*000,2250,2500,2750,3000,3200,3500,3750,4000,4500,5000,5500,6000,6400,etc

I also testing all shutter speeds unlocked like those all even impossible/unselectable in all canon cams ISO's above.

there is no 48 shutter speed,maybe it will be someday, this needs more reverse engineering and digic info.

I dont know about HDMI but its possible to use USB and have picture on camera and on laptop in the same time using eosmovrec.

Click to expand...

My factory setting T2i does 46-48 Mb/s. So the answer would be 12, right? I wonder if this is a SD card issue or the actual camera.
 
Crazy how far ML has come for the t2i/550d in the past few days....really useful stuff making it even more shooter friendly....what do you guys set your zebra maxs and mins at? or just leave it at what it is set for?
 

Here's a test a did this morning for levels -9 to -16. Even in full 1080 on my monitor I have trouble telling the difference from 13 up, so forget about it with Vimeo's encoding. If you'd like the original h264, you can download it at the Vimeo page for this video.I'll probably just stick with the standard canon encoding, that little buffer bar makes me nervous!

This was also a test of the "Cinemascope" cropmarks, worked great! Simple FCP workflow for 2:35.1 = Shoot with ML Cinemascope cropmarks, cut full-HD footage (as in, don't crop it yet). Once you've got a final cut, sequence settings > custom > 1920x810. The reason I say crop once finished: I've been having a problem where I'll change sequence settings, then when I drag other (uncropped 1920x1080) clips into the sequence, it squeezes it into the frame instead of cropping, resulting in bars on all four sides. Any solution for this?

Let me know if there's any more specific tests you'd like to see!
