Your a fricking lifesaver this tutorial was the only one that i could find that showed how to download firmware 2.0.2

nice and simple explanation... regards From Colombia!

Thanks for the vid. Do you know best way to connect a samsung phone as a monitor? Zeek did one a while back for RAW videoing but I only need for stills and standard video.

anywhere to get the rest of the software? the Canon website won't accept my serial number and i had a computer crash ...

[chadcollins]

My firmware is 2.03. I don't see an option on Canon's website for 2 02. Apparently Magic Lantern is only compatible with 2.02

Hi, I copied the 2.02 firmware version onto my SD card then updated it on the camera, but once I drag the ML files across and try to update it, under 'Displays camera settings' no other options are there. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for the video. Which build of crop mode do you recommend for a beginner - Bilal's or Danne's setup of Bilal's?

[Jimbob_Offical]

Hi I was wondering if magic lantern has an issue with release shutter w/o lens being enabled. I'm using Nikon lenses with an adapter you see so I need it enabled. When I tried to install magic lantern on my first attempt, it came up with this page from the setting menu suggesting that I need to disable it.

Thank for sharing brother. Quick question, will this work on my Cannon M6 MarkII? Thank u. 👍🏽

[outsidetherapyexperience]

thanks for the video and links. you've got that third eye crown chakra vibe going on. i like it.

i'm interested to try this tweaked version of crop mood. i stepped away from ml for about a year because it failed on a shoot that was important to me and i got nothing. i switched my attention to playing around with other cameras. i want to pick it back up again because i would like to use it in a project with multiple cameras and different looks. i can't deny the best images I've gotten are with ml but it feels so unstable. it will work flawless for months. then one day it will crash for no apparent reason.

i see you picked up an m-lite👍. mine arrived after the above mentioned "incident" so i haven't even really used it. it's just been sitting under my bed collecting dust😂.

installed Danne's build everything seems to be working great but how do I start recording? neither the record button or shutter button seem to do anything

[RockyinReelTime]

Hey great video man! I subscribed! I have a quick question, Can I install Magic Lantern on a Canon M50 Mark II ?

[nghiatran]

after intstalling magic lantern, can the eos m be enable to shoot still photo? or i have to change to a non-ML SD to shoot still image? i am planning to buy an Eos M to learn shooting still image and video but don't find information about this. Can you give me an advice on that? Thanks a lot.

[c.eliakusche]

Thanks for the quick and precise video! I saw that in 4.2K I can only record at 23, 97 fps, how can I get it to 25 or 30 but with 4K quality?

[wckoek]

Hello, I understand this camera is about the same as 650D/700D right. Which means without crop it can only do 720p in RAW?

[JourneyOJames]

i followed all of the instructions and the camera has ML on it, however when I start to record it stops and says buffering issues.
It also is very glitchy and hard to understand. i am using my canon is m with kit ens 18-55mm

[hieuphungminh]

There is a 24FPS fix file in Danne's download page. Does anyone know what it is used for? Should I install it?

[MrLewi]

When in menu mode(camera), there is no firmware tab or copyright info tab when install mlv on sd. Plus when I connect to my pc, the Eos screen shows a cpu icon and doesn't do anything. Please advise

[unbroken]

Is there a way to do it with a phone or tablet? Samsung tablet. I have a card reader for my phone but Google after download says acces denied when I try to copy it to the SD card

[bornindian]

I'm an entire beginner. I installed Dannes build. But uninstalled it again, because I don't know how to use it. The raw videos I shooted came out with lot of noise and I felt my mobile does better job than this. Can u enlighten me how to use ML?
