500D records in 720p30 and 1080p20 so it's 16:9 of course. The ML info bar is in bottom altogether with audio meters (as it is shown in mk11174's screenshot here above and it is/should be black in both, movie mode and live view (there's a black bar in bottom of both + semi-transparent 16:9 bars in movie mode - there's also a 640*480@30fps video mode that has semi-transparent crop bars on sides - that's where zebras are lacking at the top and bottom and are also offset ~3ps from the left and 1px from the right - I didn't notice this before as I didn't try this mode).

..and focus peak is finally fixed! Thank you very much, Alex! :-)

... does the 500D record 16:9? Are the 16:9 bars black or semitransparent?

mk11174: can you check the position of FF+/- with my autoexec? I've applied your changes, but adapted them in a more generic way (to be compatible with other cameras and external monitors).
yep those positions will do, maybe the right indicator a tiny bit more to the right so its not right up against the grid, but good enough now no big deal 8]

Yeah its all black in all the areas, i dont know why the screen shot backs everything white in those areas, everything that is whit on my image is black on the cam, the gray areas above the ml info are semi transparent on cam unless i use 16:9 cropmarks which then makes them black, I am not using the cropmarks at current time.

And focus peaking working perfect in record mode and no record mode, nice!!!

Alex, is there an easy way for me to apply the change for the iso and kel to the shortcut rather then changing it manually in the source and recompiling it everytime theres a new update? Or is that the easy way? lol, not hard to do, just wondering if i am doing it the hard way?

The easy way is to save your changes as a patch, something like this:
Code: [Select]
hg diff > mychanges.patch

Then, when you want to recompile:
Code: [Select]
hg pull
patch -p1 < mychanges.patch
make clean && make

About that possible err70: it can only appear when you move the AF frame around. So the test for this would be to move the box when recording.. I guess.

Alex, changing this line https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/changeset/59734c48eac5#chg_src/zebra.c_newline3641 has broken the camera latency in movie mode again. It shall remain MIN_MSLEEP. Just to let you know.

And as I discovered, my workaround for zebra/focus peak areas doesn't take care of the 640*480 video mode of course so there are spaces above and below the 16:19 area - I don't know how to handle this video resolution change.

No, it doesn't crash in any video mode. Nor when recording.

Doesn't this cause magic zoom to flicker?

Yes, it does. But I can access the ML menu, LCD shortcuts and press zoom buttons without having to wait half of a minute. But it really fixed the flicker when not recording or when recording other than very first video. In the first video the magic zoom still flickers horribly.
