Enhance Your EOS M Experience ⎮3 Must-Know Magic Lantern Crop Mood Essentials

[@rockministry7990]

Crop Mood is unstoppable period!

[@russo-filmmaking]

Thanks for watching!!

[@bern047]

Excellent video Sergio especially setting the camera up before ML is installed, very important for new users. I use the Samsung Pro Plus card as it is excellent value for money from Amazon and no fakes, I speak for myself as I use Samsung SD cards without any problems on all the Crop Mood settings and works for me. Thank you for this tutorial and well done, keep the videos coming great work

[@russo-filmmaking]

Thanks Bernard, is the Samsung you use full size? Or micro SD with adapter? I want to buy one but I don't know if the micro SD works well with the EOS M

[@bern047]

I use the micro SD card with adapter Sergio, the write speed is 130mb/s so easily fast enough for the EOS M. I am an electronic engineer and use the card for other projects as well for the fast read and write speeds it offers on small board computers, The card works on the Canon 700D really well for ML. The card has many uses for me and the Amazon prices are a bargain and no fakes@@russo-filmmaking

The only filmaker that hear us. Thank you for the video Sergio.

Thanks Chong

[@jg0r]

Sergio, thanks for your videos. At 3:19, the option to change my ISO speed to anything but AUTO is greyed out. Why is this?

[@russo-filmmaking]

You are in auto mode. Tray this: take out your SD card. Turn on the camera in video mode. A message no card will apear. Click the info button, then in the left high corner be sure to have selected the symbol in which you see a camera with a M (manual mode). If not click on the symbol of the camera a select the one with the M. I'm sorry I forgot to explain this step in my video.

What happened to your horror short behind the scenes video? Been eagerly waiting for that one!

[@russo-filmmaking]

I know, You're right. I have recently been very lazy with the KZbin channel, and I'm sorry for that. The horror short BTS is part of other 3 video I'm working on. I think it'll be ready on second week on October

[@Kmarau]

Hi can you use the camera again for photograph after instaling the magic lantern ?

[@russo-filmmaking]

Yes you can . To do that and bypass Magic Lantern, before to turn on the camera switch to photo mode with the upper camera wheel. Then when you turn on the camera, at the same time press and old the set button. When the camera will turn on you’ll be in photo mode by passing magic lantern. If you want to switch to Magic Lantern again. Turn off the camera. Switch to movie mode, and turn on the camera normally.

[@MichaelVAntony]

Can you please tell me what you used to film yourself and how you focused? Thanks for the great videos!

[@russo-filmmaking]

Thanks!! In this specific video, for me talking to the camera, I used the EOS M with Crop Mood 5.2K anamorphic, 16:9 aspect ratio. I own two EOS M and a 700D, so I try to use them most of the time. I don't like to much the result because a did a mess with my black promist filter and a lot of light in the background, and my fault, the lens was a little dirty, with a footprint on it, and I didn't notice that. In order to keep me in focus check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aanclWuVgL6fo5o where I explain how to film yourself and how I set the focus before to shoot.

[@wastybeatzofficial]

Sir. Please can you help me out with things needed to record sound from EOS M with magic lantern row?

[@russo-filmmaking]

you can grab audio directly in camera connecting an external microphone.

[@desander1000]

Sergio, I’m expecting to receive my EOS M with a manual vintage lens from Minolta soon. As I am new to ML, I’m following this video to get confidence with ML and the EOS M. One particular question I would like to ask… As I live in Spain and I M used to film with my EOS 200D in PAL-mode, I always set my frame rate to 25fps or 50fps. Do the 24fps setting will impact the 50Hz frequency…?

[@russo-filmmaking]

Con la canon EOSM lo mas común es filmar 23.98 FPS con un obturador de 1/50. Puedes cambiar los FPS o la velocidad de obturador, pero eso solo te causara problemas al momento de filmar. Yo he filmado mucho material en europa usando 23.98 FPS a 1/50 sin algún problemas, y con estos parámetros obtienes un feeling mas de película que de video estilo noticiero. Checa mis otros dos videos en el canal sobre como configurar y utilizar en la mejor forma crop mood. Te sugiero verlos completos porque hay muchos detalles importante por el correcto funcionamiento de esta version de magic lantern, que la gente se brinca en los videos. Te paso los links: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4GpiIStjbGlaqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfQnZmNnatmi68

Rápido y conciso, buen video!

[@carlang59]

Ciao Sergio. This Canon OES M intrigues me.. I would use it as a second camera next to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4K. Is there a setup where you can feel confident that it won't drop frames? or did I create artifices? I saw your videos on the davinci workflow for the color of the two machines. It doesn't seem easy to me.. Could you help me?

[@russo-filmmaking]

When I want to match the EOS M to my BMPCC 4k I use the following settings: mode 1x3, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, 4.2K anamorphic, 12 or 14bit. For example in this video I used these settings for my talking head and the footage sample kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpy1p4hoe9V0f5I , I made another video matching the EOS M with the BM4k kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZniQaqtqqtCNoac

[@carlang59]

​@@russo-filmmaking Thanks Sergio, I still have a couple of questions. When the setup is done, does it keep it when you turn the camera off / on again? In the setup you suggest is it possible to record continuously for 20 - 30 minutes? I would use it, as a second camera, for dance recitals.

[@russo-filmmaking]

@@carlang59 yes after switch off the camera when you turn on the setup is the same. You can also use custom modes and have different setup ready to use. You can shoot continuosly dependíng on your settings. For example 4.2k, 12 bits work fines if the exposure is correct without clipping lights

[@dc37009]

Nice side by side setups, I could barely tell which one was Brad Pitt ! ; )

[@cedricleguillerm346]

Hello Sergio, nice video ! Do you have or had issues with focus pixels, red dots in your footages ? I juste bought an EosM and I don't know why I have this problem...

[@russo-filmmaking]

all the eos M footages have problem with focus pixel dots, it's normal. You can easly eliminate them downloading the fix focus dots map in the MLV app (it's the best option) or using the 3X3 chroma smooth option.

Hello Sergio ! I just received my EOS-M, i noticed the firmware version I have is 2.0.3. Does it work for Magic Lantern, or do I have to install version 2.0.2? Thanks for your work! Very inspiring videos!!

Gracias a ti para ver video

[@Met845]

i have dane build what does it mean?

[@russo-filmmaking]

Danne's build is the previous version of crop mood. Crop mood is the latest versión and in my opinión offers more options regarding resolutions and realtime preview. Recently Danne made some modifications to the crop mood and now you can download a crop mood Danne versión. This versión is working in progress: in these latest 10 days I was using it and it works well. The only difference with crop mood is that it could facilitate the starting settings because has the main modules already activate, and the menu under the movie tab is a little different. More over you can use continuos focus even if these cameras have their limitations. So resuming the latest versión of magic lantern is crop mood, and there is a new crop mood Danne version which is working in progress.

[@maironderocha]

If you had to choose only one camera, which one would you choose: EOS M, M3 or the M100

[@russo-filmmaking]

I don't know M100 or M3. I own an EOSM, a 700D and a BMPCC 4K. If I have to choose one it will be EOS M 100%

[@thevrboi]

I have the sandisk you suggested and I only get 70MB/S. I need to record raw 14 bit videos

[@russo-filmmaking]

I'm used to film 14bit-12bit (depending of light conditions) in 4.8K (2.35:1 or 2.39:1) or 14 bit in 4.2K 16:9. I never look at how many MB I'm getting, and the true is that honestly I don't know and don't care: I always get continuos recording using that resolutions and aspect ratio. If I try 5.2K 14bit, it's easy that recording stop after a few seconds. 4.8K and 4.2K are my preferred crop mood options.

I'm probably gonna use the pro plus just cos there easier to get where I live in higher capacitys

How can I get this camera in Nigeria, I can’t afford the pro models here, I badly need a camera, my content ain’t that good with my iPhone and I don’t have the finance for expensive gear yet

[@russo-filmmaking]

The only way I think it's through eBay. Best prices are from Japan and they round usd 200-250

I don’t know if it’s the best

@@russo-filmmaking Thank you for your answer. Do you know which is the least demanding setting in ML? My camera records only for few seconds. I don't think it's my cards, they are very fast 300mbs.

@@joaomarveloso1049 I made two more videos on this topic. These are the links: a step by step through the Crop Mood (the latest more stable Magic Lantern build) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4GpiIStjbGlaqM , be sure to follow exactly the steps, and more tests and settinga on how to master magic lantern crop mood kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfQnZmNnatmi68. In my channel there are a few video on what you can achieve with the canon eos M and Magic Lanter, take a look, they are very interesting. The more reliable sd card for magic lantern is the sundisk extreme pro, even if you have other faster cards, it's not at all certain that they work well.

[@giftysworld9988]

I have the same sd card but recording stops after 2 seconds 😔

[@russo-filmmaking]

First of all you need to be sure to use an original card, there are a lot of counterfeits around. Take a look at my tutorial on how to configure crop mood and follow the instructions to the letter, this is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4GpiIStjbGlaqM.
