SP hires can't be previewed inside the camera (only the convertor should be able to see them).

For some reason, PROP_DISPSENSOR_CTRL was commented out for 500D (no idea why). Enabled now.

I've also increased magic zoom priority a bit, to the same level as in 550D/60D.

Also try the HDR, I've added some debug messages.

shortcuts work now!!! brightness and volume that is.

HDR working with shutter button more then 2 pictures, still 2 sec timer used when pressing shutter button i dont know if thats how it is suppose to be for that mode, lcd remote shoot still works without timer both work fine though.

Magic zoom working better, only a twitch at the bottom it seems every so often, i think it depends on exposure changes, but nothing like before where it flickered to black real fast, works same in vid and photo mode, I do notice it flickers steady if you focus with follow focus, but manually its fine.

I tried the 422tojpg2.exe on the SP highres shots, they convert but every section is seperated by black border and every section is scrambled, the slitscan and single wont convert with it cause image size is unknown, i guess i need to get python installed and try script for those, So i will get back on those.

I've increased magic zoom priority even more (and decreased priority of other things), so it should flicker a bit less now.

Does this cause any stability issues?

Bracketing works with 2-sec timer when triggered from the shutter button (to avoid shake).

Wow, very nice and solid now and no, no stabilty issue at all can still open ml menu while recording with it on and everything, very nice!!!

Update: SP single and Slit-scan convert and look fine at 928x616, All the HR SP are scrambled and used python script to convert them this time.

Is there an easy way to make the lcd shortcut plus arrows control the white balance and flash comp instead of volume and brightness, im guessing its something one with my cam would have to do themself and compile but figured i would ask just in case 8]

And if not with the Lcd shortcut, maybe theres an easy reason why the flash shortcut dont work to adjust the Kelvin?

hi everybody,
I'm new in this forum and i first want to thank all people who are working on this project.

Indeed, I'm using a 500d and tried to install it.
Everything seems to be fine (firm 1.1.1-ml-2011.11.1), I get the new Live mode display,
 but I don't get the new ML menu with all the cool features, I still have the old Canon menu.

Do you think i did something wrong when installing ?

Thanks you for any advise.

thank for your response, but I'm not sure its works better or I didn't understand :)

Camera is set on Manual mode:
- I get quite the same screen as the canon one to modify all shooting settings (Speed, aperture, iso, image quality, focus, etc). The only new features are the SD Card remaining size (bottom right) and the actual time (bottom left).

Now if I hit the menu button, I get the standard Canon menu.

If I hit the Live view button (erase),  I get the live view, with all the ML stuff at the bottom.

But no menu :'(

Any idea ?

Freeman656: I found the full ML menu by pressing the trash can button when on the main Canon menu (manual mode) - hope that helps.

Haha, I misunderstood :D and by pressing menu button in ML menu you will get a LOT more options to play with. If you wonder what some functions are, just it disp, and some info should appear.
