Thank you! How to set manual exposure in eos m setting in crop mood? Info button directs to the wrong menu with no manual exposure switch

[@reelfilmmaking101]

You're welcome! I'd love to help but I'm a bit confused by your question, are you trying to adjust the exposure by changing the ISO or are you asking about if using a manual lens how to enable the eos m to use it?

[@ezravazquez]

I have the same cuestion, i cannot change the ISO auto mode in MLV, 😅. I can change in the photo mode to manual but in video continue being auto. Thanks un advice !

[@slowedsongshq981]

Really helped cheers

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@rainermichel9931]

I followed your instructions and everything works fine. Many thanks for that. I have just a small problem. The customization of the L/R arrows doesn't work. U/D arrows works well. Is there any special configuration in the Canon setup to overcome this problem? Many Thanks

[@UncleExplosion]

I have that same problem too, I would love to know how to fix that as well

[@rainermichel9931]

@@UncleExplosion I found already how it works. When you rotate the main dial, you change the shutter speed. After clicking on the right arrow (exposure compensation), you can change the aperture value (rotating the main dial)

[@jamskaterpete]

so mine doesnt let me change ISO or aperture. anyone have an idea why? its greyed out in menus and when i turn the camera on, it says "movie auto exposure" but i cant seem to change it.

[@jg0r]

You ever sort this @jamskaterpete ?

[@polardog2396]

Should my canon version still be 1.0.4 if I use a 650d? thanks

[@rodrig2uez]

Hello Sr. Thanks for all your videos, I have a question, if SD card is formatted in camera Magic lantern will be erased too??

[@reelfilmmaking101]

You’re welcome! To my knowledge, yes it will be deleted if you format the card in camera through the Canon menu. Hope this helps!

[@djmcomarcelo9865]

I did the step by step correctly ....but I'm not able to give rec ......where am I going wrong?

[@BublsRache]

How do you disable the fixed iso and aperture? The camera is permanently set to auto exposure with crop mood in my case

[@andresgonzalezcerda7635]

Excelent!!. But sadly After installation wich seems to work fine, and after exit the menu, I always go back to the canon’s original live view. Any idea?

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Thanks! Sorry you’re having issues. If Magic Lantern said it installed, when you see the Canon OS menu, press the menu button a few times to cycle through the Canon menu and when you exit you should see the Magic Lantern OS view.

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

You need to hold down the trash can button to get in ML

[@thevrboi]

Can I use this firmware on canon 600d or T3i?

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Yes!

[@thevrboi]

@@reelfilmmaking101nice, although I don’t see the firmware in the downloads

[@fredwilson1191]

Ok. I'm confused, in both the raw video menu and the crop mood menu there is a setting for the AR (aspect ratio) and you're showing them set differently in your example here.

[@kellhound1]

I've followed your instructions and my 700d won't record for more than 2-3 seconds. I've tried a Sandisk Extreme Pro 200mb/s and a Sandisk V90 card, both overclocked. The 700d is on firmware 1.1.5. What gives??

[@ksharky888]

It seems like my 1/3 mode will stop recording after 1 sec. I'm using the SanDisk Extreme PRO 200MB/s 256GB. any help would be much appreciated!

[@onurdizdaroglu]

Do you find any solution?

[@allrisk7319]

Hi I am using the sandisk extremepro 128gb. I get an error "early stop should have recorded a few more frames" every time I try to record with these settings. The card is brand new and I am really confused as to whats causing it.

[@huntno]

Am I forced to be in the Magic lantern interface or is it possible to return back to the regular photo/video mode?

[@hsmythi]

You can shoot regular videos and photos with ML installed, but its easier just to uninstall it for those tasks. I dont want to scare you, but without some knowledge and experience of shooting video with manual settings, ML is quite complex at the beginning.

[@huntno]

@@hsmythi I've had ML and the Eos M for a few days now, and with my experience using manual video apps on my phone (Mcpro24fps) it didn't take me too long to find the right settings options. Another KZbinr also showed me that you can return to the regular modes by pressing and holding the set button on startup, so that's good as well. My main issues now are export times and more noise in video than I expected

[@bosekaspathy]

I followed step by step. I am using the same card you recommended. When I start recording, the symbol is not orange nor green. It’s red and comes up with a message. Recording automatically stopped and flushing frames. Unable to figure out why? Thanks

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Sorry to hear about these problems. My first suggestion would be lowering the bit depth from 14bit to 12 or 10bit. This can really help a ton in getting stable recording. Hope this helps!

[@Skullk69]

Same problem, did you figure it out?

[@bosekaspathy]

@@Skullk69 Hi, I did a reinstall on a faster card (200) and it worked.

[@thevrboi]

I want to use the firmware on the T3I or 600d. I can’t find it on the download list.

[@michealpersaud6718]

Hey man, quick question. When I export from the mlv app with cinedng uncompressed, it just shows up as single pictures after export... And won't pick up as a video file in divinci resolve. Any tips on this? Thanks

[@reelfilmmaking101]

So with CDNG files they will export as a bunch of single pictures. When you go to bring those into DaVinci go to the media tab and navigate on the sidebar to the folder with the pictures. When you open the folder DaVinci should detect it as a CDNG file and automatically stitch it together and you should be able to drag it into your media pool as a video file. Hope that helps man!

I'm using an 85mm 1.4 manual lens with Viltrox EF adapter - EOS-M

[@yingtianfu]

Hello, does the L and R arrow work for you when you set it to change the aperture for the electronic lens? I have set custom buttons (Up and down for ISO, Left and right for aperture) the same way you did in this video. The up and down for ISO works perfectly but I can't seem to change the aperture with left and right buttons. How can I fix this? Great video by the way! I am learning a lot from you! EDIT: I figured it out! For those who have the same problem, all you need to do is press the right arrow and then scroll the round wheel to achieve changing aperture on an electronic lens! Again, great video!

[@PaeTian]

Would you recommend using magic lantern no matter if I use raw video and so on? I am quite happy with the out of cam 1080p as it. Will the 1080p video with magic lantern better?

[@adriansirboiu8613]

hi can you please help me? it seams that I am the only person with a shutter speed problem. it just shows N/A . and i can't change in the settings. My camera is in manual mode. i have a 700D but the settings are the same as eos m. please let me know if you have any sugestions

[@lulux6023]

Hello, I can't play these 3 multimedia files that you can play on the card, do you know why?

[@giftysworld9988]

I followed everything but I have a problem filming. It stops filming after 2 seconds. I also have the same SD card like yours. I tried changing the resolution to 3:3 and it worked. How could I use 5.2k without having the problem of the recording automatically stopping?

[@reelfilmmaking101]

When you're recording in the 5.2K 1x3 mode, what bit depth do you have it set to? Try dropping it from 14 to 12 or 10bit and see if that helps. Another thought I had, crop mood is very sensitive to light, so even if most of your subject is exposed properly if there are highlights clipping anywhere in your image it can be enough to stop recording. If you can find someway to reduce any clipping highlights, whether with a variable ND filter, changing the aperture, or trying to remove them from the scene and see if that helps your record times. When I first started using crop mood I was having similar issues. Hope this helps!

[@giftysworld9988]

@@reelfilmmaking101thanks for replying. I will try it. I cant wait to shoot footage like yours. I need time to learn deeper.

[@bosekaspathy]

I have the same issue. Scoured the internet but not much info on why this happens on EOS M. I followed as REEL says. Done this many times on different Sandisk Ex Oro 170 MB/sec. WHen I start recording it wont last 4 sec before "Automatically stopping...." I tested the card using Davinci Resolve Speed test. It shows 92.5 MB/sec and all fine up to 6K Videos (green ticked) but no luck. May be someone here had the same issue and advise me?

[@georgieduarte889]

Hey! I followed the video and when I navigated to modules none of the ones I needed to turn on showed up I see that you were able to scroll down in modules it does not let me do that (I just downloaded it for the first time and it was danne most recent build) any advice? I’ve considered wiping the Sd card and starting a new build what do you think?

[@francisortile]

Hi bro, Do you still need to de-squeeze the footage in post everytime when you use the 1x3 crop? Or the file will be fine as is?

[@billyblueberry]

If you use MLVApp it will auto desqueeze

[@reelfilmmaking101]

If you export DNGs out of MLV app you will need to desqueeze, but if you export pro res files out they will stay the correct aspect ratio.

[@listy2271]

I had yesterday installed a very old nightly build 2018 from magic lantern website ...now how do I uninstall that from the camera and sd card to put this new crop mood...? or can I still stick to old one ?

[@yoshiz594]

What card you use??

[@tabeneru]

is it can use autofocus, or just manual focus ?

[@reelfilmmaking101]

You can technically use autofocus if the lens supports it, but it’s almost unusable. I would definitely stick with manual focus.

[@tennisfitapp]

hey, any ideas on how to achieve this on EOS M3 ? or is it possible even? thx

Hi, thank you for this video. What do you mean by desqueezing in post when filming at 1x3? I am currently filming at 4.8k 1x3, but I don't desqueeze anything... Thanks.

[@reelfilmmaking101]

You're welcome! Sorry about the confusion with the 1x3 modes. The desqueezing comment was meant in reference to the previous builds of ML using the 5KFRTP anamorphic mode.

[@fishystales]

hi, thanks a lot for this tutorial, nobody else even explained how to get into the menu after installing lol! I have a problem however. i can only get about 43mb/s on the SD card. its a 140mb/s card, so the card should be fast enough. i tried multiple crop and resolution settings but it just doesnt really want to record in a usable resolution because tis capped at 43mb/s. i use a canon 650d and enabled all the SD overclocking like you said. absoluteley fine if yu also dont know what might cause this, but any help is appreciated :)

[@reelfilmmaking101]

That's unfortunate to hear, what type of sd card are you working with? I used the sandisk extreme pro cards and I've never had issues with that. If you are using an extreme pro card, I'd recommend completely uninstalling ML and reinstalling it. Another possibility that I've heard with extreme pro cards is that there are fake cards that are sold online that don't actually give you the correct read and write speeds. You could unfortunately have one of those fake cards, which could explain ML not working properly. Hope this helps!

[@bornindian28]

Can u do the same with recent danne build pls. For beginners to understand

[@reelfilmmaking101]

hello! prehaps someone can help me, I tried to follow your tutorial but i'm missing a lot of the options on my menu. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Hello! What options are you missing? I would make sure you’re in the movie mode of the camera rather than the photo mode. Also, make sure you have all the modules i mentioned in the video enabled to make sure you’d have all the options for recording. Hope that helps!!

[@reelfilmmaking101]

Sorry you're having issues with that, that's frustrating. Did you enable to raw recording module in the modules tab? and crop mood? If you did and you're still having issues, I would uninstall ML and try a fresh install and see it that works.

[@rodrig2uez]

Thanks for your concern and fast responding, I just solved my issues, I was trying to install a wrong version of Magic lantern. But thanks a lot.

[@senshi1511]

I followed this tutorial exactly and using his settings I'm only getting a couple seconds of footage. does anyone know why that could be?

[@yesmemarcus]

I would check that your SD card is fast enough for magic lantern. Also make sure your image is not overexposed. I use the sandisk extreme pro which works well for me. In terms of exposure I would recommend learning how to read the histogram since it can be really hard to tell your exposure on the small screen sometimes.

[@Indibluu]

i dont have the firmware point in the menu... :/

[@reelfilmmaking101]

If you don't have the firmware point on the menu to update the firmware on the camera, make sure you set your camera to photo mode. That should give you access to update firmware option in the menus. Hope this helps!

[@S.Mullen]

Do you understand the difference between the focus( ) and focus[ ] ? Do you know what focus SINGLE means?

Any chance this will brick the camera

There "technically" is a chance but I've used ML for many years on different cameras, and I've never had issues. Hope this helps!

[@nicholaschovelidze]

Hello! So sorry to bother. When I start recording it shows this message: Movie recording stopped automatically Flushing buffers... 9 frames left - and it counts down. I don't know what the problem is, maybe you can help. Thank you so much, and sorry to bother you again. Please Respond. (Sorry for the rudeness)

[@reelfilmmaking101]

I would try and adjust the SD overclock option, making sure that it’s enabled and see if that helps. If you don’t have a SD with fast read and write speeds, that may be the reason you’re experiencing the stopped recording message. I would recommend using a Sandisk Extreme Pro card, they handle ML very well. If you’re using a different card you could adjust the SD overclock speed settings to one of the lower speeds and see if that helps. Hopefully this helps!
