what is the song?

[5DFilmSchool]

@justify230 - It's a royalty-free track called "Vino" that comes with Final Cut Studio.

[5DFilmSchool]

@justify230 - It's more or less in the style of Django Reinhardt, so if you like it, check out some vintage Django.

Will this void your warranty on your camera if you download this? Or is it possible to uninstall "Magic Lantern" ??

i would love to donate some money to magic lantern to the development 0f the 7d custom firmwire

I would like to record interviews with canon 60D. Are there any heat issues with the camera recording for 40 - 60 minutes using magic lantern?

[rymdskrotet]

Interesting software, I might say! Would there be any possibilites that the T3i / 600D will have all the audio features found in the T2i / 550D, when having the software installed. (Not sure why there is no audiosettings in Magic Lantern on the T3i / 600D. There is only recording audio input bars.

just want to know, can you uninstall it if you dont like it?

[gabrielcardenasphoto]

Does magic lantern work with the 60D?

[Chappa30329]

Whatever! The gh2 blows away the 7d & 5d and much cheaper...

[DanFrederiksen]

very nice hack. hopefully canon will design future cameras with fuller film controls like this.

when you say it's only loaded into ram, does that mean you have to flash it every time you want to use it?

I downloaded the AJ 5.9 version for my Canon 5d markII

on my Mac but i only seem to have 2 files autoexec.bin and magiclantern.fir i have canon Firmware Version 2.1.1 on my 5D and cant seem to get the ML software to install - my 5D screen goes black and i have to take out the battery to get it to work again........any ideas?

[SuperMangn]

I have ML for my 550d but I am worried that it will shorten the life of my camera overall. The battery draw and heat changes have not been studied or published which is a worry because more heat = trouble when electronics are involved.
