--IMPORTANT NOTE--

When using the Command Prompt to access the BootCF.exe file you need to hit enter after each command. So, cd desktop (ENTER), cd canon (ENTER). I forgot to say this in the tutorial and didn't want anyone getting confused :)

Magic Lantern is a firmware hack for the Canon T2i that adds new settings and essentially mods your camera.

This tutorial will walk you through how to install it on your T2i.

Dude... Buy a MAC!

[Neumannfilms]

@Swansonian232 Why?  Macs suck.

[Swansonian232]

You're writing code to re-format your memory card??!! SAD. Awww... I did all this on my MAC in 2 steps! Sorry!

[Neumannfilms]

@Swansonian232 Yeah, we can all do that now with the newest builds of Magic Lantern. Awwwww.

[Neumannfilms]

@Swansonian232 This is an outdated tutorial.

[randOmazing]

wait. If it already says that I have version 1.0.9 do I need to install it as you did? I noticed that you already had version 1.0.9, so was this for demonstration purposes only?

[Neumannfilms]

@randOmazing Yes, for demonstration only. No need to do that step.

[eldreamerept]

WHAT EXACT MEMORY CARD ARE YOU USING TO TO FILM WITH MAGICLANTER FOR THE HIGHEST BIT RATE.. BRAND,GB, CLASS, ? THANKS

[poeli1]

@Neumannfilms thats true

[TeamPill]

I'm a mac bitch. I like mac 'cause even their laptops are faster than microsoft's $2000 desktop I bought (which I don't even use 'cause it's too slow).

[DIALLOKREED]

I freaken luv you guys!!!! One day I'll actually get to the level of implementing the info you give in these tutorials! - @DialloKreed

[StickyNoteFilms]

[lsi624]

[benjaminmosley]

@Neumannfilms yeah plus Macs are for people who arent smart and need eveything basically handed to them lol

[konstantinjohann]

your videos are really helpful. thank you so much!!! i really enjoy every single video of you!

but i have a question. i know you get a lot of questions about sd cars. but i woulf appreciate if you could help me with my decision. so far i have a sandisk 8 gb 30mb/s card. but i think i wanna upgrade to 32 gb.

my question is: will a sandisk 32gb 30mb/s be fast enough for qscale -16 or should i buy the much more expensive 45mb/s or even the 90mb/s card. (i'm just 15 so it

should be as cheap as poss
