Magic Lantern, a firmware hack for Canon cameras - video tutorial

Hi friends, this video tutorial will show you how to install Magic Lantern on Canon cameras, it is a kind of firmware that brings a lot of features missing from the device and users need them, a useful hack.
Magic Lantern is developed by a group of enthusiasts who saw the huge potential of the Canon DSLR cameras, potential that Canon does give than more expensive models spoon in the CAU all available products.
I must say from the beginning that Magic Lantern goes than the Canon DSLRs, the complete list can be found on the official site Magic Lantern.
In principle, Magic Lantern is not a firmware, it is more of a hack that boots from the card and sticks to the ram memory from where it runs, it has nothing to do with the internal ROM where the original firmware is, which is why it is dangerous, Magic Lantern can be uninstalled once the card is formatted by pressing the “Q” key, the message “remove magic lantern” or “keep magic lantern” will appear on the screen, you will choose whether or not it remains after formatting.
Installation is very simple.
1. Format the card in the camera (low level format)
2. Download Magic Lantern
3. Unzip the contents of the archive in the root of the card
4. Put the camera in manual mode (M on the mode dial)
5. Insert the card into the camera and turn it on
6. Go to the menu and update your firmware version like in the tutorial.

Magic lantern provides a lot of settings that will make your night. You will find the settings all the time you have vista, settings that we encounter only much more expensive cameras.
Magic Lantern will talk about setting another occasion, I invite you to watch one another tutorial.

  • I also have a 600D, and I've heard of the magic flashlight but I've never tried it. From what I noticed at the functions, it's fine, but it doesn't look very good (not that I would make pretensions, but it seems a bit crowded and complicated at the same time). Anyway, after this tutorial, maybe I'll try it too. I am waiting for other tutorials with the most interesting functions of this firmware that will convince me to try it :)

  • I have a Canon 500D. I followed the steps in the tutorial and it tells me that the ML folder cannot be copied. Thanks, I'm waiting for more advice.

    • Perhaps you did something right.
      I have a 500D with ML on it for a year and everything was ok ...
      Unfortunately for 500D many functions are not supported but are more useful stuff anyway.

  • Interesting ... I haven't heard of this magic flashlight, maybe I'll try it after viewing this tutorial ... I have a 600D.

  • For those who have Canon Compact is a similar firmware on the CHDK Wiki site.
    There you can find firmware for most compacts from Canon. Inslalarea is about the same as in the tutorial above. On the site you can also find installation instructions.
    I tried it on a Canon Powershot A1300 and it works, for example I can take pictures in RAW format
    or PNG that not much you can do with compact-200 300 lei.

  • Very cool.
    I thought there must be something. Really brings many video settings to where I was most interested. The experienced look forward to new features and look forward tutorials about ML.

  • We decided to instales it after I saw that has the function intervalometer Basically saves me a lot of money that I was going to them on your remote control with this function. Besides it has a lot of other features that I have not put but still waiting to be discovered.

  • Congratulations tutorial. I folosec approximately one Magic Lantern on Canon 550D smoothly. However, there would be some guidelines in addition to those mentioned in the video.

    First, you must ensure that the battery is charged, it is recommended over 50%. If you interrupt the process of firmware update, although very brief, may have problems.

    Meanwhile, you need a card fast enough 10 class video, especially if you choose to increase the bitrate. HDR video function requires more special postprocessing but as mentioned but it was mentioned in the tutorial.
