Magic Lantern Walkthrough/Install - Canon T5i

[@desotopete]

Great tutorial. I have been using CHDK for my powershots for years. I upgraded to a Canon DSLR a little over a year ago. This answered some questions I still had before trying it on my DSLR.

[@onlineictsuite]

Toby, would be fantastic if you could produce a guide for magic lantern similar to the guides you made for the T4i/650d.

[@matbishopsa]

Congrats on 80K toby! Love seeing the channel grow. Soon you will be at 100K!

[@photorectoby]

Thanks Matthew!!

[@bobbywesterfieldphotograph1017]

thanks Toby! got my 5ti today and super easy to get magic lantern installed! now to get all the settings i want up and running!

[@afrangov]

I'd love some more ML videos, Toby! It's fantastic

[@diegojavierenriquez]

ISO 320? Sounds great!!

[@EscoPicoTrane]

Excellent video, is there a way to disable the 29 min time limit for video using ML? Thanks

[@SkYjAcKeR666]

Nice one Toby, yes would love to see more of ML tutorials.

[@craigcreative1796]

can you tell me how to get the audio option onto the ML menu?

[@skyystarz]

Thank you so much this helped me of hours and hours of trouble :)

[@GearReviewDepot]

I shoot mostly video with my T5i, very few pictures and because I'm a one man show and have bad vision I record in Auto 99% of the time. I did however just start using the P mode for videos. Would you recommend the Magic Lantern software for someone like myself that just shoots in Auto or P mode for video? Will it make the video any better in any way? Thank you!

[@maynardoocara1]

Hey, i liked so much this video, took many of my doubts! But I liked to know if with magic lantern in t5i is possible to film in 1080p 60fps.

[@martinremixful]

Do you mean formatting the SD card in general or just with Magic Lantern every time you take photos and videoes?

[@SorayasFierceCookingShow]

Gracias! Gracias! Gracias!

[@tharindu211]

you are the best toby... thanks for this. i didnt install ML to my t5i now i will....thanks again.

[@TOMMYBOY6969]

I have used Magic Lantern and its great, but Toby, do you know how to get rid of the pink dots in ML raw video ? I know video is only 720p with no sound and i can't record very long but quality is super, but i cant exactly get rid of the pink dots. I tired work arounds by taking down the magenta colours when it's a DNG, but those pink dots still persist ? Thanks

[@JimBlind]

Hello, Try to search in ML forum, here for example: www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5951.375 Also, what kind of SD card do you use to shoot 720p in RAW?

[@TOMMYBOY6969]

Jim Blind Thanks Jim Blind, i used a Lexar 32gb class 10, its read speeds is up to 30MB/s and write speeds of up to 22MB/s. Its not that fast but i was told that the pink dots are there because of the auto focusing system in the sensor.

[@photorectoby]

TOMMYBOY6969 I have not played with the RAW video enough at this time to be helpful, I'd echo Jim's suggestion of browsing the forum. Do keep me updated!

[@davidholliday6772]

You really need a faster card for video in general. I use a SanDisk with speeds of 95mb/s. Im gonna guess your card is to slow for all the data that RAW has to adequately pass along to the card. Its basically a bottleneck.

[@avenegas0691]

I have some reports from Photography friends who say that they had continuous problems after they used Magic Lantern features in their Canon EOS APS-C cameras, and occured to them in the most unexpected moment and manner while shooting photos. Do you have any further information about it? Thank you very much for your answer!

[@0oTHEJACKo0]

at 5:13 I restarted the camera when the timer went to 0 seconds and the uninstallation process was started. Is that bad? It seems like ML is working, but I don't know what was uninstalled. I hate this automatic uninstallation thing. I just didn't pay attention for half a minute and bam this shit happens^^

[@NoProJoe]

Hi Toby, I have a T5i with ML installed. I've been trying to use the rack focus to no avail. I set the end point and try to set the next point and no matter which way I go with the L/R arrows the focus doesn't change. I was wondering if you have any suggestion on the proper way to use the rack focus feature properly. Thanks a lot! Joe. p.s. Also all the info pages are not working on the T5i ML firmware. I thought maybe my firmware was corrupt so I downloaded it again and formatted my card fresh. Not sure what the deal is there. Thanks again.

[@GamersRushProduction]

What if their not offering 1.1.3 Anymore.? The new version is 1.1.4 , will this work with the magic lantern 1.1.3.?

[@VFXCommander]

I'm not sure if it's too late, but here's the latest version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGe6cqaBbdSIhdk

[@skylane807]

version 1.1.5 now

[@clewis7804]

Does anyone know where the audio settings are in this magic lantern menu? I can't see them.

[@OmahaWayne]

By the time I upgrade from the 70D, they should have a stable build out for it :)

[@DrStevensHome]

Great video, i have the 700d. How do i enable the live audio viewer metre gage?

[@vancityvideos]

thank you for the video, really helped me while installing ML. Do you know if it is ok to format the SD card if I have recorded video on the same card that has ML installed on it? Will formatting my SD card delete ML?

[@neogenx21]

Looking to have Magic Latern on Canon D750. Unfortunately I don't see that option on their website. Any insights?

[@Coops12241]

I'd love more ML videos!

[@jaciboid5684]

So can you change the aspect ratio in video with this update? If so, I need to get this...

[@Places4u]

thank you so much Toby for the great video, I'd like to know if ML affects the quality and dynamic range of the picture (still and video) or no? Ive heard that from somebody but iam not sure it does.. thx again

[@JuanesJaramilloA]

thanks ! thanks thanks!

[@aarongregoryslitherio2252]

If you have a camera which isn't listed but has the same firmware version as one that is, would that work?

[@mattjenkins467]

how would you do Canon 100D? Great video ive subscribed!

[@photorectoby]

+Exotic Cars UK I am not surre what you are asking?

[@mattjenkins467]

PhotoRec Toby It doesnt say 100d when you go to select the camera that you have to download magic lantern onto.

[@BrendanMiranda]

+Exotic Cars UK It means that they don't support that camera.

[@ApertureApex]

+Exotic Cars UK There is a new alpha version for the Canon 100D that works quite well. Google: "Magic Lantern 100a" and click on the first link ! :)

[@mattjenkins467]

Gamer Goose Thanks!

[@PaulHojda]

For people wondering, there is a hack for Nikon as well, if you google Nikon Hacker. It mostly works on slightly older cameras (D3100-3300/D5100&5200/D7000 and so on) and allows you to get up to 64mbps in video and also manual exposure for the Nikon D3100 among other things

[@MDGeardotcom]

I just installed the nightly build on 700d and get no Audio menu. Why I need to turn AGC off

[@AlviMoreno]

Awesome content! Found answers to most of my questions. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming! :)

[@WilliamsonProductionz]

Very good tutorial :) Also thank you for showing me who to get it. You earned a sub.

[@photorectoby]

Williamson Productionz Wonderful!

[@salingkatkat]

Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful.

[@VirtualAviationAviator]

Nicely done. ML use to void Canon's US warranty. Not sure if it still does but I think your viewers ought to be warned in case it does. Perhaps, ML writes something somewhere where Canon can see that it had been installed?

[@photorectoby]

Frank White I made this notice on the web page and below the video. It does not leave any lasting indication that I know of, though there is always the chance that your camera could suffer something catastrophic and if you sent it in without getting a chance to pull the card and restart the camera they may be tipped off. I have sent a camera, my 5D Mark III in for repair (unrelated to ML) and they didn't say anything. Thanks!

[@VirtualAviationAviator]

PhotoRec Toby That's good to know. Thanks.

[@lvke98]

When shooting Raw video with the T5i Can you also record audio? I know when I first heard of Magic Lantern you couldn't but recently I have been receiving yes/no answers. Do you know?

[@Mike-lh4wn]

Seems odd that Canon won't add similar expanded features in their own firmware updates. All I want is timelapse and repeated auto shooting functionality on my t6i and 60D. I guess that would affect Canon's intervalometer sales.

[@coreysalsomevideos18]

Will this work with a Canon Rebel T5?

[@Jamiemartinez06]

If I install magic lantern on another card will have to go through all the steps as in the first time i.e. update the firmware and restart the camera or can I just put the card in and its all good to go? Ive installed magic lantern on my t3i but the card is running out of space so i have to use aother card swell, thank you! :)

[@VonteVision]

Did you ever find the answer?

[@sorinsmith2732]

I have to format the card the first time I put the card in but after that the card is good to go.

[@socaminister]

do you know if there is a way to have the output on ml to be 1080p? since canon outputs their hdmi to 1080i by default and my field monitor works best with 1080p, i didnt know if there was a way to change that output signal? any solutions come to mind? i am currently using a t5i

[@ericques9974]

Hi,, I have a Canon eos 7D and I installed Magic Lantern. Do you know how to set it where it records for an hour straight without it stopping please ?

[@edwardfuerst2997]

Hi, I'm a beginner amateur photographer and offered to take free engagement pictures for my cousin. We're planning on shooting in a sunrise/early morning beach setting. I have a Canon T6S and if you could recommend me a lens to get the best possible pictures in that setting I would really appreciate it! Thanks! :)

[@JamesLyonaviation12]

Thanks so much Toby! Been waiting for this video! :D

[@Peidudinho]

hey toby, the magic lantern give me more options of ISO? like 150, 250, 350 ... do you know anything about that?

[@brianroyalroberts]

I noticed the same thing on the screen of your T5i in the video - my ML menu doesn't have anything for audio... I've tried two different nightly builds. Am I missing something? I appreciate any help.

[@DevilKiller100]

Are actually the steps the same with 1.1.5 and the latest magic lantern firmware?

[@StansTechVideos]

Great video! Explained literally every question I had about it, gonna try and install it tomorrow :D

[@StansTechVideos]

***** Yeah bro, it's awesome! I use it all the time - my favourite feature is probably the 'Movie Crop Mode' as I've used it whilst recording video at an airshow, and also in some macro shots in my upcoming video, all using the kit lens 😊

[@muaythaiart]

and how about now..your camera still good? nothing happen? i want to use ml but really scared about the rumors that camera might be burn or broken inside the system

[@davidbcossini8928]

I have a question maybe you can assist me, I just downloaded Magic Lantern for my 5D MKII firmware ver. 2.1.2 I am as you can tell a novice, my LCD keeps getting dark then goes back to normal again, I know it's probably a setting I have missed or my exposure settings, it happens on Manual mode or Program or any variation of auto exposure, the LCD gets dark then few seconds latter it's back to normal.

[@bobt219]

I would like to see more vids on using ML for photography.

[@penielpeniel9388]

Hello Toby, I just intalled it on a "new-to-me" used 7d. I can't change the fps rate on it to do a time-lapse movie under the movie mode. Do you know if this is possible on the 7d? BTW... Great video.

[@photorectoby]

Highlight the intervalometer line and press Q - that should give you additional FPS options.

[@muquiranasrecords]

Now they only have the 700D114, do you know if it will work in my camera? it's firmware is the 1.1.3

[@qudek77]

Can I just ask you about the 70D, only my center focus point is not focusing properly. With micro focus adjustments I adjust all of them. Is there a way to correct this via service or something else?

[@photorectoby]

Yes, I had to send mine in, a couple of times, and they fixed it.

[@qudek77]

PhotoRec Toby So they can fix it. Thats a relief, I'll send it then and see what happens...

[@jlo4954]

awesome video! this is what im looking for. thanks a lot!

[@harisahmed9095]

Sir any news on magic lantern for Canon 750d plz

[@Markchance08]

CAN YOU OVER RIDE THE FPS TO 60FPS 1080P?

[@TheOfficialrange]

I have an issue, after i format the SD Card on my Canon 55Od and put it in my mini mac. The card is read only and won't let me put the files onto the card. The card will only be writeable if i format it on Disk Utility on my mac.

[@StephanEilert]

Hi, Toby. Recently, Im filming a small project for a youtube channel, with a t3i and I have installed the magic lantern, and I was wondering what can I use to improve my recording. Im kinda new to it and I use, mostly, for intervalometer, nothing more. Any ideas? thanks

[@photorectoby]

I am not 100% on what you are asking? How to get better quality video out of your T3i? What lens(es) are you using? Consider primes (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pICnhop5ndyZg7c)

[@StephanEilert]

I meant what ML's features I can do to improve. I have a nifty fifty but I was filming with my 28-75mm tamron, and the result was pretty good.

[@LowKeySeven]

also whats the most amount of gigs and bits pers second i should have on the card im geeting a class 10 and im shooting music videos. whats recommended thanks

[@virmangaming7280]

Is Lexar 32gb micro SD x300 HC 1 class 10, capable in installing ML?

[@yadhukrishnan23]

i have t5 (1200d) and cant find my version (1.0.1).what shd i do? pls help

[@RomiesStudio]

Did you find a firmware for yours ?? I have the same and not sure what to flash without bricking it

[@yadhukrishnan23]

thanks a lot man..

[@yadhukrishnan23]

vendetta v the thing is my canon is already running on 1.0.1 , but magic lantern doesn't have a patch for 1.0.1.

[@yadhukrishnan23]

do u mind givin me the link?

[@yadhukrishnan23]

i have no clue, almost 1 hr and still have no idea what to do and cant find 1200d.fir. coding and stuff? its so sad :(

[@KartoffelCrafter]

is magic lantern aviable for the 750d ?

[@ansgarkoehler]

That's what I wanna know as well!

[@willeditsvids]

Not yet... I hope soon though.

[@TheGallagherExperience]

I'm downloading the software for my t5i, but the firmware update is not downloading with it! What should I do?

[@baluantony123]

Hai brother, it we can install in 70d canon..? plz help me.

[@MrNyuntshwe]

I'm not a ML user until now though I'd like to use it years ago. Honestly, I'm not much literate on these kind of softwares, I'm rather concern about safety of my camera as I'm poor to replace, in case of crash, with another camera as I wish. I'd like to raise a question about how could we save to repeat the installation process of ML every time the first memory card was removed when it's full. Suppose we were taking a series of scenes of either documentary or movie, reinstalling ML every time a memory card is full could be a very impractical. Please share your opinion, sir.

[@photorectoby]

U Nyunt Shwe YOu do need to do the install process on the other cards in anticipation of using those when the original fills.

[@MrNyuntshwe]

PhotoRec Toby Thanks a lot Toby! I got it. I'll do as you suggested with the cards I intended to use for the project. Thanks again.

[@genemyrafozard864]

+U Nyunt Shwe Suggest using a memory card with larger capacity. Presently using 128GB San Disk with no problems other than where to archive all those files.

[@jonesii7627]

Where is the Audio menu? I can't see the microphone symbol on your screen.

[@St72ayBull3t]

have ml on my t4i and it brings it alive i love it. w/b by kalven works great for kids at school events (mixed lighting )

[@photorectoby]

St72ayBull3t YES! the custom WB is an awesome addition. Thanks!

[@xboxseriesboy1834]

Will all memory cards work?

[@fabriciokelm5808]

Can I use the magic lantern in a sdxc card??

[@amberchamaria3439]

when i recrd video it is shows a message " Movie Recording has stopped automatically" , & then video stops recording itself.. What should i do???

[@PDAIPRODUCTIONS]

Will this version of magic lantern work on my Canon SL1?

[@photorectoby]

PDAI PRODUCTIONS I am not sure - I hear mixed reports about Magic Lantern and the SL1, Best thing to do is spend some time on the ML forums.

[@maciejobjasniacz]

hey people, what should I do if it says "please reinstalll Canon firmware 114. even if you already have this version" ? how can I reinstall Canon firmware 114 ?

[@aureliomoraes12]

Thanks for the video, mate

[@photorectoby]

+aureliomoraes12 You are welcome!

[@olroxmo4050]

thx man. just a question, could i record a video with 1080p (60fps) by using magic lantern? (canon 700D)

[@CityOnAHillChannel]

Magic Lantern is just a firmware. It cannot modify the cameras internal hardware.

[@AmineHamouda]

Is it stable on the T5I/700d just like the t3i/600d?

[@yanik2729]

Great Video, Thanks!

[@DouglasEkermark]

Great video, really helped me out!

[@adrianz3233]

Am i able to jump from firmware 1.1.1. to 1.1.5? or do i need to donwload 1.1.3 then 1.1.5? Please help. Thank you!

[@MTBIKEXC]

very helpful - thanks!

[@vidneypopples]

What happens if you insert a different sd card? one that doesn't have the ML software on it. does the camera still work & does it revert to canon's stock firmware?

[@photorectoby]

+vidville vid Yep- reverts to stock.

[@vidneypopples]

Ok thanks!

[@ryanbabbit]

Does anyone know a way to get this now because Canon only offers the 1.1.5 firmware now, while Magic Lantern only offers their firmware for 1.1.4. Basically, right now my camera has 1.1.3 and I need 1.1.4 to get Magic Lantern because that's the only one they offer at the moment, but Canon only offers 1.1.5 on their website, therefore it appears that it's impossible to get the two firmwares to match. Any help appreciated!

[@Tobywan82]

Great tutorial! Thanks!!!!!

[@claudialoverap]

Can it cause any problem or damage to my canon t5i befo re i do it i Wanda be sure

[@chiwawa130]

Why didn't you explain how to format sd card and keep ML? All you said was that it could be done.

[@Qwertworks]

It showed on green. You have to press Q or something as far as I could see

[@emzeecastlee]

What size/speed of SD card is required to use ML?

[@calebgregory8827]

THANK. YOU. OMG.

[@Concrete.Jungle]

i just got a T51 but it has an firmware 1.1.4 can i downgrade the firmware and if so how

[@LowKeySeven]

well there is only700d114 on my screen so what firmware do i get for that?

[@Evangilizer]

My Canon T5i is not giving me a 4th wrench option. When i see you pull up your menu screen yours has more options than mine. I cant get to the firmware screen because of this! Help!

[@jonesii7627]

Gerard Lavergne Switch to a different mode with the top dial

[@theothomas4182]

Thanks, Toby!

[@jerico112002]

Is it possible to do it on the t6i

[@HaydenRoberts08]

For 70D owners, it's still in Alpha and is available in the official Magic Lantern forum. Latest build (will be old in future, always look for latest): www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14309.0

[@SeguraCine]

hi, friend,. I'm desperate to find a magic lantern for my M6 MARK II do you know where I can get the software for my camera for the M6 MARKII?

[@alexpiticas]

Toby, i have searched for the firmware, and i can only find the 1.1.4 version, and on the Magic Lantern website it still says 1.1.3, it will also work like that? PhotoRec Toby

[@Aleects]

Alex Piticas I don't think so. I had the same problem. But in the part when you download the ML firmware, read the step 2 of 'Installation' (once you selected your camera) see the '1.1.3' it's blue and gives you a quick download of the firmware 1.13. I hope this helps

[@alexpiticas]

Alexis Garcia that's what i thought about too, but i was curious if it would have worked with the 1.1.4, thanks a lot anyway!

[@animal355]

Does this apply for the UK cameras??

[@photorectoby]

Firmware is usually global with different languages. As long as your firmware number matches it does apply.

[@animal355]

PhotoRec Toby Thank you doubts and fears resolved... Great videos, most helpful...

[@Luthdrix]

Brilliant.

[@sonikx38]

thanx buddy ... subscribed

[@BrunoLowe]

Do u know if there's a Magic Lantern software for the 100D/SL1?

[@photorectoby]

It does not look like there is at this time.

[@BrunoLowe]

Ooh okay, thanks for the reply. Great video by the way, subscribed :)

[@thestalker]

Should have tested the 70D alpha.

[@photorectoby]

I just tried - apparently I have one of the non-working revisions of the firmware- did you see, annoying! www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14309.0

[@thestalker]

Yeah should have thought that yours wouldn't work as you've had it a while. Mine should work but I got it for xmas and don't wont to risk it, though I expect it would be fine.

[@mophl]

T6i support?

[@MattTrux-YakChum]

Dont see it
