500d development

Maybe playing with the delay from fps_task (fps-engio.c) has some effect... no idea, all other cameras are working fine with this method.

I don't know if the frame rate is changing, but the brightness is changing.  I assume this is due to the exposure changing from 1/20 to 1/4 and back.  It stays at one or the other for between 5-20 frames.  Then it alternates.  I can't see any pattern to the length of the cycle.  Please help Alex!  Take a guess and let us try it?

Well... the guys from bitbucket say it's fixed: https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/issue/979/500d-1080p-movies-uneven-exposure-when

Hey rootsxi, Yeah I modded my T1i back in January of last year (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=5971.15) but yeah after realizing I decreased the resale value of my camera just for more mono sound I was a bit disappointed. I've been drooling over the Zoom H2n as it has many cardioid patterns to use for any occasion so I probably will go with that...either that or buy a T2i and use a H1...but in that case I wouldn't be as obsessed with the community on here so...yeah I probably shouldn't get rid of my T1i 

The H2 is a pretty good all around mic.
this is how it looks mounted on the t1i if interested.

not very practical, but good easy enough to handle for recording sound if on a tripod.

Cool thanks, I'm going to go with the H1 and try to find a way to mount my MXL990 shockmount to my camera to use with the H1. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks Alex, you're always one step ahead!  Will try it.
