各種機能

ムービーモード

ほとんどのカメラはムービーモード華道家の判定をモードダイヤルで行います。この方法は明確にムービーモードと判断することができます。

しかしながら、幾つかのカメラにおいてそれはムービーモードを判断する材料に使いません。これらのカメラにおいてマジックランタンは以下の設定によって、今がムービーモードであるということを判断します。

ムービーモードが有効のとき、マジックランタンは画面下の情報バーに”Mv“を表示します。

The ''Q'' ボタン

ほとんどのカメラは[Q]というボタンがあります。無いカメラでは以下のボタンが代用できます。

ライブビューのスクリーン

マジックランタンではライブビューの空き部分に様々な情報を表示します。この画像は、一般的なマジックランタン有効時の画面です。

オーディオ

Audio menu

マニュアルオーディオ設定

このメニューは Canon 600D/T3i/X5にはありません.

KissX5のオーディは別チップを使っているため、マジックランタンから操作する機能は現在開発・調査中です。キャノンメニューから基本的な設定が利用できますが、モニタリングはできません。オーディオメータは、録画中のみ動作します。

Audio tests by Ryan Sauve Audio_Conclusions

アナログゲイン (dB)

アナログ入力時のゲインを調整します。バーがグリーンになるように調整しますが、外部アンプなどを利用してできるだけ下げることをおすすめします。

左右別々のデジタル・ゲイン (dB)

デジタル・ゲインは左右別々に調整できます。おすすめは0です。

インプットソース

撮影用の入力:

XLR microphone to Balanced input pinouts

通常バランスオーディで長いケーブルを利用する際には、HOTとCOLDの2つの信号を別位相で伝送します。このためノイズを打ち消すことが可能です。マジックランタンのバランス機能では、オーディオチップの持つバランスINを有効化するので、特別な装置がなくても長いケーブルのバランスマイクが利用できます。ただし、音質はプリアンプにはかないません。 普通バランスマイクは、XLRコネクタで取り外しも簡単なおかつロックもかかりますし、キャノンのDSLRのミニピンに変換することもできます。バランスのプロ用マイクは簡単にDSLRに取り付けでき、良い音質・S/N比が得られます。 (source)

風フィルタ

デジタルハイパス・フィルタのこと。詳細はこちら AK4646 datasheet p.34.

マイクパワー

これはインターナルマイクと、特定の外部マイク用です。これはインピーダンスを低下させます。詳細はこちら AK4646 datasheet p.31 and the Mic power control thread.

この設定は、内蔵マイクか、L:内蔵 R:外部がONであれば常にONになる。

AGC(自動設定オーディオ)

英語ファームでは、AGC(Automatic Gain Control)。日本語ではオーディオ設定オートかマニュアルかというやつのこと。オートをON/OFFする機能。

ヘッドフォンモニタリング

Audio monitoring tutorial

A/Vケーブルを利用したヘッドフォンモニタリング。X5では開発・調査中です。

SDモニタを使っているときにはOFFにしてください。!

オーディオモニタリングをするには特殊なケーブルが必要です:

注意:海外電話のなかでコネクタ形状が一致するものがありますが、それらはつかえません。これを使ってください the original cable which came with your camera.

詳細はこちら Audio monitoring HOWTO on Vimeo group.

アウトプットボリューム (dB)

オーディオモニタリング用のデジタルアウトプットゲイン。カメラ内臓のスピーカーには影響を及ぼしません。

良い結果を得るには、抵抗の低いヘッドフォンを利用してください。例えば、 Audio Technica ATH-M50 (38 ohms). 抵抗値の高いヘッドフォンを利用する場合にはリンクのようなヘッドフォンアンプを利用してください FiiO E5.

ムービーモード用の機能

Bit Rate

H.264 のビデオ録画ビットレートを決定します。

Possible modes:

Notes:

Time Indicator

When recording a movie, ML will display a small time counter in the upper right corner, which can be:

Unlike Canon's timer which assumes constant bitrate, ML timer assumes variable bitrate and works even if QScale is enabled. However, due to variations in bitrate, the estimated value will fluctuate a lot, and this is normal.

Movie Logging

If this setting is ON, Magic Lantern will write out a metadata file for the each movie to MVI_1234.LOG (numbered after the movie). The log file contains lens and exposure info, as well as a timestamp every time any of the parameters is changed during recording.

Log files are placed in the same folder as the movies: DCIM/100CANON/, 101CANON etc.

Tip: you can rename LOG files to CSV and import them in MS Excel.

Movie Restart

While this setting is on, movie recording will restart automatically, unless you stop it. There will be a few seconds skipped during restarting.

REC/STBY notify

Custom notifications for recording or standby:

Movie REC key

This option enables you to start/stop movie recording by half-pressing the shutter ボタン.

Tip: with this, you can use a wired remote to start/stop recording.

Force LiveView

Force LiveView in Movie mode (bypass the dialog saying Press LV ボタン to activate movie shooting).

Shutter Lock

This option locks the shutter value in movie mode (you will be able to change it only from ML menu).

FPS override

This setting alters FPS for all video modes. Only undercranking works well.

FPS is changed by altering two timer values (let's call them Timer A and Timer B). Increasing any of these values results in lower FPS. Aside from FPS, changing these timers may alter shutter speed and rolling shutter.

Options:

Notes and tips:

HDR video

Magic Lantern HDR Video

This feature allows you to shoot a high dynamic range video by alternating ISO every other frame. Select the two ISO values from the submenu.

Possible postprocessing workflows:

Discussion thread, postprocessing workflow, FAQ...

Image Effects

Custom image effects found by investigating DIGIC registers:

Movie Record (50D)

Enable movie recording on 50D (1920×1080, 30fps, without sound). To start recording, go to LiveView (P/Tv/Av/M) and press SET.

WARNING: Canon 50D was NOT designed to record movies. Keep in mind:

Limitations:

This setting remains active even if you start the camera with standard firmware (until you clear your settings).

Shutter ボタン (50D)

Exposure Lock (50D)

Locks the exposure in movie mode. You can also use the * ボタン (you don't have to hold it pressed).

Shoot

05.shoot.png

Functions for stills shooting (some of them work for movies, too).

HDR Bracketing

Exposure bracketing for HDR images and timelapses.

Intervalometer

18853423stars-intervalometer.jpg19854305

Take pictures or movies at fixed intervals.

You can stop the intervalometer by rotating the mode dial, by pressing MENU or PLAY, or by turning off the camera.

Power Saving:

Bulb/Focus Ramping

29923391

Bulb Ramping allows the capture of a timelapse that gradually changes exposure, compensating for the transition from day to night.

Options:

Settings for auto ramping:

Quick start guide for auto ramping:

1. Take a picture of your scene. You will use it to say: I want my timelapse to be exposed like this picture.

2. Enable Bulb Ramping and Intervalometer.

3. Leave the camera still while ML runs a calibration step:

4. Now you will have to say what tone range to meter for (i.e. highlights, midtones…). Follow the wizard:

5. Sit back and relax :)

Limits:

Tips:

Technical notes:

Logging:

Bulb Timer

bulbtimer-intervalometer-60x60s-m31-brent.jpg longexp.jpg

Very long exposures with Bulb mode and ML timer. This feature is useful for night shots and astrophotography.

Bulb timer is started by holdin the shutter pressed halfway for one second, or by remote triggers / intervalometer.

Tip: you can cancel the exposure earlier by half-pressing the shutter ボタン.

LCDsensor Remote

Start/stop remote shutter release mode with the LCD sensor.

This feature is useful for avoiding camera shake.

In Movie mode, the Wave ? setting is able to start and stop recording movies. The other modes can only start recording (because it's too easy to stop recording by mistake).

While recording, the Near and Away modes can trigger the rack focus operation.

Audio RemoteShot

Start/stop remote audio trigger. To take a picture (or start recording a movie), make some loud noise, for example, clap your hands or pop a balloon.

Tip: with the audio trigger you can sync a video recorded without sound with an external audio track (see this topic)

Be careful: this may trigger the shutter from the sounds made by camera (like focus beep or noise from operating the ボタンs).

Motion Detect

motiondetection-bird.jpg motiondetection-lightning-6-4-2011-3.jpg

Motion detection in LiveView.

Trigger modes:

Detection time is somewhere between 200 and 300 ms according to DataGhost's speed test; it's faster with silent pictures.

Silent Pictures

18835420

This feature is reserved to very advanced users. It can take pictures in LiveView mode without moving the mirror. When enabled, it saves uncompressed YUV422 frames from the LiveView image buffer when you press the shutter halfway.

Modes:

Silent picture setting is applied to intervalometer and remote triggers. It will also go to LiveView when you press the shutter half-way. Therefore, you should only enable this setting when you actually use it.

Images are saved in DCIM/1xxCANON/ after the following rules:

To convert a 422 image to JPEG on the PC, use one of the following programs:

Mirror Lockup

Mirror lockup. See Canon user guide for details.

Timer+Remote will auto-enable MLU under one of the following conditions (and disable it otherwise):

Flash tweaks

A few tweaks for flash users:

Focus

06.focus.png

Trap Focus

trapfocus-hummingbird.jpg

For MF users: takes a picture when the subject comes into focus.

Modes:

Notes:

Notes for LiveView trap focus:

Focus Patterns

Custom focus patterns which can be used either with autofocus or trap focus.

To change the focus pattern:

You can use the custom focus patterns in LiveView Quick Focus mode, too, but the pattern won't be displayed on the screen.

This feature was ported from 400plus.

Follow Focus

Very simple follow focus (like a rack focus controlled manually).

Recommended focus step settings:

Quick rack focus while recording:

Focus StepSize

Step size for one focus command, as used by EOS Utility.

Focus StepDelay

Delay between two successive focus commands, with an optional waiting flag.

Focus End Point

This is end point of rack focus (X focus steps from the start point, i.e. from current focus point).

First you have to set the end point. Focus the lens, then press SET on this menu item.

After pressing SET, ML will display Focus End Point: 0 steps from here.. This means the end point is now assigned to current focus position.

At this point, you will see the LiveView image and set the start point using left and right keys (just like with follow focus) or the main dial (scrollwheel). The start point will be always the current focus point (which you are changing); the end point will remain fixed.

Rack Delay

Sets the number of seconds before starting a rack focus. This lets you film the start point first, then initialise the rack focus without touching the camera.

Rack Focus

Triggers the rack focus operation that moves between the start and end focus points. After the move is complete pressing again reverses the move.

Step-by-step:

  1. Pick the end point of rack focus by focusing on it (manually or with AF).
  2. Configure focus parameters (step size and delay). Different lenses may require different parameters.
  3. Open the Focus menu, go to Focus End Point and press Set to zero it out.
  4. Pick the start point by focusing on it with the LEFT/RIGHT ボタンs while the Focus menu is active. Make sure the number from Focus End Point is changing as you focus. Fine-tune the position with scrollwheel.
  5. Go to Rack Focus and press SET or PLAY to start rack focus.
  6. To return to the starting point, run rack focus again.

Tip: when LCDsensor Remote is set on Near or Away, you can trigger rack focus from the LCD sensor, avoiding camera shake.

Recommended focus step settings:

Stack focus

5879032?

This selection will shoot a series of photographs with varying focus points. It is used in macro photography to assemble sharper final images by merging photos where each has a different focus point.

This function can also create scripts named like named FST_1234.SH, which can be used for stacking the images with enfuse. See Exposure bracketing for details on how to use these scripts, and the focus stacking section from Enfuse reference manual. To enable (or disable) the post-processing scripts, go to HDR bracketing submenu.

Usage:

  1. Configure rack focus and use it to preview the focus range.
  2. Select the number of focus steps to skip. This will determine the number of pictures to be taken.
  3. Press PLAY to start the focus sequence (PLAY mode) or take the first picture (SNAP mode).

You can also combine this function with HDR bracketing and silent pictures.

Recommended focus step settings: same as for rack focus.

The following items are display only:

Focus Dist

The distance to the focal point. Value is returned by most newer Canon lenses. If the lens does not report any distance information, 0 will be displayed and the DOF calculations will not be correct.

See also Focus distance.

Hyperfocal

The hyperfocal distance is the point of focus where everything from half that distance to infinity falls within the depth of field. This is the largest depth of field possible for the current f-number.

DOF Near

The nearest distance in which objects appear in focus.

DOF Far

The farthest distance in which objects appear in focus.

Display

07.display.png

Options for display (most of them are for LiveView).

LV contrast

Adjusts the contrast in LiveView. It doesn't affect recording. This helps when focusing with very flat picture styles.

Values: Normal (no effect), High, Very high, Zero, Very low, Low.

LV saturation

Adjusts the saturation in LiveView. It doesn't affect recording. This helps you focus without being distracted by color.

Values: Normal (no effect), High, Very high, Zero (grayscale).

LV display gain

nightdemo.jpg

Photo mode only: this feature increases the brightness in LiveView, making it usable in very dark scenes (where Canon's LiveView would be pitch black). Combine this with FPS override for better low-light performance.

For movie mode, use ML digital ISOs for a similar effect.

Color Scheme

This affects the colors and brightness of the on-screen information (including LiveView overlays, Canon menus and ML menus). Range from: Bright (default), Dark, Bright Gray, Dark Gray, Dark Red. Tip: dark themes may reduce the eye strain during night shooting.

Clear Overlays

Clear bitmap overlays from LiveView display.

Focus box (LV)

With this setting you can choose to show the Focus box in liveview or hide it when not needed.

Force HDMI-VGA

This option will force a low-resolution mode on HDMI displays (720×480), which avoids black screen when you start/stop recording.

Screen layout settings...

Screen orientation, positioning fine tuning, adjustments for external monitors…

Screen Layout

Choose screen layout (position of ML top and bottom bars), for different cameras or for external monitors.

Top/bottom layouts:

Bottom-only layouts:

Image position

This may make the image better visible from different angles (especially on cameras without flip-out screen).

UpsideDown mode

up_down.jpg

This mode is useful if you want to mount your camera upside-down.

Auto Mirroring

For cameras with flip-out LCD, this options prevents mirroring the display when you open it at 180 degrees.

Display: Normal/Reverse/Mirror

For cameras with flip-out LCD, you may select a different flipping/mirroring option.

Level Indicator (60D)

Shows if the picture levels with the horizon. Can be used while recording.

Kill Canon GUI

For 50D only: disable Canon graphics elements to avoid conflicts with ML graphics in LiveView.

Prefs

You can also enable quick functions for the SET ボタン, coupled with the corresponding arrow adjustments:

Misc key settings...

LCD Sensor Shortcuts

Use the LCD face sensor as an extra key in ML (e.g. for triggering arrow keys, for blocking follow focus or for bypassing magic zoom key).

To fully disable the LCD sensor in Magic Lantern, disable LCD auto off from Canon menu (Wrench 1). You need to do this if you are using a device which covers the LCD sensor (e.g. a loupe).

Sticky DOF Preview

This will make the DOF preview ボタン sticky (so you no longer have to hold it pressed).

Note: enabling DOF preview will block certain ボタンs.

Tip: enable Exposure Override to preview DOF without blocking the ボタンs.

Sticky HalfShutter

This will make the half-shutter press sticky (so you no longer have to hold it pressed).

Tip: use this to prevent the camera from turning off LiveView after 30 minutes.

Swap MENU <-> ERASE (60D)

Swaps MENU and ERASE ボタンs. This feature allows one-handed navigation in ML menu on 60D, but will have to use MENU ボタン to delete the pictures.

DigitalZoom Shortcut (600D)

On 600D/T3i, this lets you customize the behavior of DISP + Zoom In / Zoom Out shortcut key in movie mode:

Note: by default, Magic Lantern disables digital zoom values greater than 3x in order to avoid image quality degradation.

Auto BurstPicQuality

When enabled, it will temporarily reduce picture quality in burst mode in order to maintain a decent frame rate even when the buffer becomes almost full.

This function will reduce picture quality if the buffer has space for less than 4 pictures:

Possible results (550D, Transcend Class 10, your mileage may vary):

Powersave in LiveView...

Options for maximizing battery life when using LiveView.

Config file...

Magic Lantern saves its settings in a configuration file named MAGIC.CFG, located under ML/SETTINGS directory on your card. This submenu lets you customize how these settings are saved.

LV Display Presets

This feature lets you use up to 4 display presets for the settings in the Overlay menu.

On the top bar, you will see DISP 0, 1, 2 or 3. Each of those is a preset for the settings in Overlay menu. So you can, for example, configure DISP 1 with false colors, DISP 2 with zebras and focus peaking, and DISP 3 with clear display.

This menu item sets the maximum number of available DISP presets. To disable this feature, set the number of presets to 1.

To change the current display preset, press INFO/DISP in LiveView, or [Q] on the GlobalDraw entry in the Overlay menu.

Crop Factor Display

If enabled, ML bottom bar will display the 35mm equivalent focal length, including crop factor (1.6x).

For example, a 50mm lens at f1.8 will be displayed as:

Display hidden menus

To reduce menu clutter, Magic Lantern allows you to hide unused menu items. Enable this to display the hidden items, so you can re-enable them.

Debug
