Exactly. Hmmm... i guess a made an absolutly stupid mistake :-) Anyways... I have do some family supply :-)

also i would double check the first step in the installation instructions.

just to quickly resume the steps here: make your card bootable (http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/550d_install#Step_2._Making_the_SD_card_bootable) copy on it the 500d FIR file (from here: https://bitbucket.org/Chuchin/magic-lantern-500d/downloads/ml500d.7z) and start the camera.  ml500d.7z is an archive file so you need to install 7-zip utility ( i assume you use windows) to open up ml500d.7z. inside you will find the FIR file.

when you start the camera with the FIR file you should see a message about the boot flag been set or something like this. once this step is done stop the camera, delete the fir file from the card (you don't need it anymore) and copy the autoexec.bin file on the card (use the latest build from http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/500D). start the camera and ML should show up.

let us know if is working for you

I took my T1i out to shoot video yesterday with the ML firmware loaded and running. The zebras didn't work and I could start record, but not finish. The record button would be pressed twice, but the recording just wouldn't stop. I had to power down the cam, and ended up with a zero second video when I checked the files. I think this is another memory leak, like what I experienced with intervalometer.

just to double check: you sure you have the latest build (pre-alpha 1.07) on your camera?..these problems should have been fixed a couple of builds ago

Video and Zebras work fine for me, i just played around with it yesterday, and somehow i think the heat problem is fixed too, the base doesn't get hot anymore,  as much.

the focus trapping seems to only work when a lens is attached too. maybe something to do with reading what the current lens' focal length is? example:



when doing reverse macro like this, focus trapping won't beep. but if i put my kit lens on in manual focus mode it works.

 :(


edit:
looks like focal length doesn't have to do with it (focal length is reading 0 right now and it works with the kit lens), maybe there's just not enough "in focus" when at these extreme magnifications for it to trip?

For unchipped lenses, wait until liveview trap focus is ported.

Hello, I have 500D and want to try ML, mostly because LCD&Audio Remote Shot, silent pictures, focus trapping and i have few questions. if I follow the installation guide, will the camera be OK? I know there's always a risk, but you know what I mean, like if you have any reported bricks? Will the camera work like it did before - No performance issues/extreme battery drain..? Will the features i said work in the current 1.07?  I restore it to original state just by formatting the SD, right?
Thank you very much.
