On a bright sunny day when you can barely see the LCD screen, this is really, really helpful. This gives you a clear indication of the brightness and contrast of your scene. The most useful features I have found are the following: Oh in case you didn’t already figure it out, use the trash button to access the ML menu. Like any new gadget or software, there’s only one really fun way to learn it and that is to go through every item in the menu and see what it does. Once you get it installed though, be prepared to explore the whole world of options that ML provides you.
Don’t pull out the card too quickly as sometimes this will cause the Canon 60D to not boot. The Magic Lantern software is stored on the SDHD card and thus you have to load Magic Lantern on every card and do the same firmware upgrade for EVERY card. For the Canon 60D it’s simply a matter of setting the dial to “P” and then going into the menu and selecting the “Firmware Ver….” and clicking “OK” What isn’t clearly to me is “How to Launch the Firmware Update” process. Remember to upgrade your Canon firmware using the link supplied. Read the first-time installation guide thoroughly. Cameras like the 7D and Mark II have partial features. The Canon 60D uses the Unified version of Magic Lantern with the full feature set. This software is solid and it does not actually modify the camera’s firmware.Ī couple orientation tips about Magic Lantern: As it turns out, there was little or no risk to installing ML on the 60D. I was initially reluctant to because I was in the middle of the project and didn’t want to “brick” my camera. It’s an incredible open source firmware written by some enterprising filmmakers that adds many useful video and photo features to the Canon 60D. My first next step was to install Magic Lantern. ▪ Bit rate control (QScale parameter) for the H.One project behind me and I was prepared to invest more into the DSLR as a video camera. 
▪ GUI menus: press the ERASE button to display them
Thank you Trammell Hudson, how about the 7D next?Ĭlick here to download the firmware hack. Here is a rip from his site with the added features from the Firmware Hack. I highly recommend being very cautious with any type of hack prior to any paid work. There is also quite a lot of discussion here on the Cinema 5D Forum. Philip Bloom is reporting a Magic Lantern Firmware Hack for the Canon Rebel T2i/550D. Renny Hayes posted this video on the Magic Latern Firmware Hack on Vimeo.
