+ | 对于觉得自己不会装魔灯的人: | ||
- | Exposure to the right (ETTR) is a technique of setting the exposure of a scene such that few or no pixels are are over exposed (blown out) thus maximizing the information captured without loosing information to over-exposure. | + | 在安装魔灯前你需要: |
- | There are two methods | + | * 知道怎样使用电脑 |
+ | * 在没有魔灯的情况下用你的相机数月。 (中文译者注:我不知道为什么要特别说明脱离魔灯) 当你熟悉各项设置,可以在佳能固件上舒舒服服的用你的相机的时候, | ||
+ | * 用心研究魔灯。 这个网站上有很多魔灯的资料。 阅读[[UserGuide|使用指南]], | ||
+ | * 要有耐心。魔灯有很多好康的插件。但是它们其实非常简单,你只要用过一次就会登dua郎力。 | ||
- | The first method involves taking 2 images. | + | ====== 这资料,十分滴重要,应该让新手们先看 ====== |
- | The second method uses the live view momentarily to run through a series of exposures until the exposure is correct without taking a photo. | + | {{ : |
- | ETTR sets the shutter speed and ISO. It does not change the aperture setting thus not altering the depth of field of the scene. | + | * **永远不要直接把魔灯固件直接从卡里删掉!** 如果要移除魔灯请直接将卡格式化。 |
+ | 其实也可以使用**[[https:// | ||
- | In the Expo Tab (Exposure Menu of ML) you will find Auto ETTR: | + | * **即使你的相机已经关掉了**,**也一定要在LED灯熄灭后**,再打开卡仓盖, |

- | {{:playground:aettr3.jpg|ETTR Info Screen}} | + | * 访问 http:// |
+ | * 确定你正在运行指定的佳能主固件版本, | ||
+ | * 你可以在相机设为 **Manual (M)** 时按下menu打开设置来查看固件版本. | ||
+ | * 在你试图在魔灯不同的固件版本上运行魔灯不会发生任何机毁人亡的事故。魔灯会在启动前检查相机的固件版本。如果你就是头铁要试一试,魔灯将会把一个错误对话框怼你脸上,但在拔掉电池后重启相机不会有任何变化。如果你使用比较旧的魔灯版本,你的相机只会让LED灯不断的闪烁,但你还是要重新安装电池。 | ||

- | **Link to DUAL ISO**: ON or OFF. | + | |
+ | * Re-installing Canon firmware | ||
- | Note: If Link to DUAL ISO is set to OFF, the module will not calculate the required DUAL ISO and the image will only be set to meet the ETTR requirements. | + | ====== Troubleshooting ====== |
- | **Show debug info**: ON OFF. | + | |
+ | * **If you have a different Canon firmware version**, please use the one from our [[http:// | ||
+ | * **If the screen does not turn on, but autofocus works**, remove the battery and format the card. This happens when the card is bootable, but autoexec.bin is not there. | ||
+ | * **Check if all doors are closed.** The camera will not boot if any of the card or battery doors are open ! | ||
+ | * **If the camera does not boot** (seems dead), **remove the battery and the card**. Then put the battery back and try to boot the camera without card. Then put a formatted card in the camera and try to boot **without** Magic Lantern. Only after you are sure the camera is OK, you can try to see what's wrong with Magic Lantern. | ||
+ | * **If the camera asks for a firmware update**, place Canon firmware on the card (this was a problem in older versions). | ||
+ | * **DO NOT use a bootable card without a working autoexec.bin on it!** If you do, remove the battery immediately, | ||
+ | * Check the [[https:// | ||
+ | * If you get "ML directory not found! Please copy all ML files." | ||
+ | ====== Important notes ====== | ||
- | ==== Visual Feedback ==== | + | * <color red> |
+ | * **[[http:// | ||
+ | * SD-to-CF adapters are not supported! | ||
+ | * If you have a bootable card and have the '' | ||
+ | * If you encounter a " | ||
+ | * When in doubt, remove the battery and reboot. | ||
+ | * **And, remember that this software can damage or destroy your camera.** | ||
- | If you want more visual feedback as to what's going on, enable histograms and raw zebras: | ||
- | In the **Overlay Tab** you can scroll down to Histogram and press **Q** to configure: | ||
- | |||
- | RAW EV indicator: OFF Here you can press the set button and select ETTR hint. This will display in the RAW histogram a hint of how many more EVs you can expose to meet the ETTR parameters set in previous menu. | ||
- | |||
- | Also in the Overlay Tab you can scroll to Zebras, press **Q**, and make sure that RAW zebras are ON. The RAW zebras will show on the image itself to mark the areas where a color channel may be overblown. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Setting it up ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ETTR in RAW images | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Go to Canon Menu and set Image Review: hold (This gives you a change to review the RAW histogram until you press half shutter to stop the preview, 2 sec is too quick to analyze the histogram but you can set it as desired NO LESS THAN 2 SEC! | ||
- | |||
- | 2. Put the camera in manual M mode or Av mode (either one since you must the aperture yourself), and set ISO to any number except in Auto. It wont work in auto! | ||
- | |||
- | 3. Press trash button to enter ML menu. | ||
- | |||
- | 4. Go to the Expo Tab and enable Auto ETTR by pressing set. | ||
- | |||
- | 5. Press **Q** if you want to change ETTR details. | ||
- | |||
- | 6. (optional) enable Global Draw | ||
- | |||
- | 6.1 Press **Q** and move to Overlay Tab. Make sure Global Draw in: On, all modes. | ||
- | |||
- | 7. (optional) enable Zebras | ||
- | |||
- | 7.1 Scroll to Zebras, press **Q**, scroll to the bottom and select Use RAW zebras ON. | ||
- | |||
- | 7.2 Press **Q** | ||
- | |||
- | 8. (optional) enable the Histogram | ||
- | |||
- | 8.1 Scroll to Histogram and press **Q** | ||
- | |||
- | 8.2. (optional) Scroll to RAW EV indicator and select ETTR hint by pressing set. | ||
- | |||
- | 8.3. Press **Q** | ||
- | |||
- | 12. Press trash button to exit ML menu. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Usage ===== | ||
- | |||
- | You are highly recommended to use a tri-pod or other support. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Always On mode ==== | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Frame you subject and set the aperture (for the DOF) and shoot a test photo. | ||
- | |||
- | 2. Now look at the display and you should see the image with the histogram and the zebras in the over exposed areas (if you enabled them). | ||
- | |||
- | 3. Shoot another a photo and repeat to step 2 until your photo is not over exposed (few or no zebra lines, and the exposure curve up to the right side of the graph). | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Auto snap mode ==== | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Frame you subject and set the aperture (for the DOF). | ||
- | |||
- | 2. Press the shutter. | ||
- | |||
- | 3. Now look at the display and you should see the second image with the histogram and the zebras in the over exposed areas (if you enabled them). | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Press Set and HalfS DblClick mode ==== | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Frame you subject and set the aperture (for the DOF). | ||
- | |||
- | 2. Press the Set button or quickly half-press the shutter release twice | ||
- | |||
- | 3. The camera will go into live view mode and will step through a series of exposures trying to choose the proper exposure for the scene and then the camera will go out of live view mode. | ||
- | |||
- | 4. Shoot the scene. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Using the histogram ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Inside this histogram you may see near the top-left of the graph, in white lettering, the letter E followed by a number which represents how far you can go, in EV numbers, to reach ETTR, i.e E1.2 | ||
- | |||
- | Inside the RAW histogram near the bottom you may see colored circles with numbers inside which represent the overblown channels (R, G, B) and the number of EV of over-exposure. | ||
- | |||
- | If there are overexposed areas you will see RAW Zebras in the color which is overblown. | ||
- | |||
- | Take another picture without changing the scene and you will see how the camera settings are adjusted to meet the ETTR requirements. | ||
- | If the camera beeps it means that the photo is out of specs and you should shoot again. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Convergence to results ===== | ||
- | |||
- | With the **Always on** and **Auto snap** setting which takes images, it may require at least two images (sometimes three or four) to come up with the proper exposure. | ||
- | |||
- | When the algorithm cannot find an adequate exposure it will beep twice and give you a message in the LCD screen. ETTR: expo limits reached, indicating the ISO and speed limits used. | ||
- | |||
- | When the algorithm finds an adequate exposure it will beep once and give you a message in the LCD screen. ETTR settled at ISO xxx and the shutter speed. | ||
- | Note: the image review time in the LCD is set via Canon menu in Image Review. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Raw histogram use ===== | ||
- | |||
- | It is best to enable RAW Histograms via Global draw. This will put a little histogram on the LCD during image review. | ||
- | |||
- | If you also enabled RAW zebras via Global draw, you will also see, if any, areas of the image are over-exposed. |
