TIMER A- When you adjust this timer, ML will automatically change the settings in timer B to retin your desired frames per second. Magic Lantern also notes that you can change the RANGE of value available to you by altering the ratio between the two timer value in TIMER A and TIMER B Trust the settings in your MAGIC LANTERN menu. Keep in mind that when you use the FPS override, you will be overriding the settings that read out on your CAMERA display. SHUTTER RANGE- This shows you the ACTUAL shutter speed range available. Used mostly for creative effects, I rarely find use for it. HIGH JELLO this is the opposite of the last setting. This setting helps minimize that effect and retain a 180degree shutter when at all possible. LOWJELLO- The lack of a global shutter means that DSLRs suffer from the “jello effect” when panning because of the way the sensor records information. HIGH FPS- This lets you adjust the shutter speed to overcrank a little bit more and retain your 180 degree shutter on the 60d and 600d. Also useful for faster frame rates.ĮXACT FPS- This is so you can shoot with an exact frame rate ie, 24fps instead of 23.967 LOW LIGHT- This is for when you are doing timelapses with LONG shutter speed exposure times (like 1 sec exposure and you are shoot ing 1fps, which means a 360 degree shutter). Very useful for timelapse modes Magic Lantern has noted that it doesn’t work great for OVERcranking (higher frame rates), but the undercranking works great. I prefer using an Iris Pull for this maneuver, and to control it manually.

This will adjust your ISO to change over a period of frames you determine to make the changes in exposure less noticeable.

If you want to prevent accidental start or stop functions on set, you can toggle this to require the hals-shutter pressed for a full second to start and/or stop recording.Īgain, this is one of those automatic functions that I prefer to leave off. Very handy when shooting MOS or recording sound separately. Less information in the pipeline leaves a little more room for image quality.

NB You can eke out a little more bitrate if you are recording without sound. This is one of those cases where the CONCEPT is more important than the application, and there will most definitely be a point in the future where this feature can be used, so the groundwork needs to be laid out now. NB.The developers mention that the Qscale mode is constant quality but has a VARIABLE bitrate, and it can go out of control. Keep using old cards and you will eventually have your recording stop on the one take that the actor finally got it right. Buy a couple of new cards and you will probably won’t notice it today. The class 10 cards that we all use are still very functional ,and most cameras that didn’t just come out will max out at class 10, but the future has higher bitrates- 4k, and RAW.

Get some UHS rated cards (if it has a little “U” with a 1, or even better, a 3, you’re in great shape. But if you have had your cards for a couple years, you would be surprised at how fast the technology has gotten. Yes, they will undoubtedly go down in price in the future, as do all things. Get new cards and see how far you can push them: I have never seen memory as big and as cheap as they are now. If you have a lot of clips that have a great bitrate, but it takes you 12 takes to get the shot instead of 3, you are doing yourself a great disservice. Remember here that higher bitrates aren’t the holy grail: getting the shot is. If you experiment with your cards and your camera, you can find out what your card will support and how much you can crank up your bitrate before the camera stops recording. The other limiting factor is your actual CARD, which is going to be the bottleneck in many situations. The write speed of your CAMERA may be limited as to how much it can write, (the 5Dmk II and III being the fastest). That sounds fantastic except for two things: You can increase the bitrate of your images by up to three times the normal bitrate. In practice, it can be a little finnicky. In theory this is a great concept and feature.

As it should go without saying, the movie settings really only apply to when you are in movie mode on your dial. Movie Mode is going to be where you do a lot of your tweaks.
