A few weeks ago, Canon released a firmware update for the 5D Mark II, 1.1.0, which added the ability for photographers to capture video with manual control over exposure and ISO settings. Now, a hacker, Trammell Hudson, has released a beta update to the firmware which allows the photographer even more control over the video settings!
Full release notes:
Only works with Canon firmware version 1.1.0
Only the external mic input is supported
Canon firmware will restart if LiveView mode is exited or powersave
HDMI, USB and composite video output are disabled
Zebras can not be disabled, threshold is not configurable, color can not be changed
Canon’s onscreen menus will not function correctly (configure everything before booting the Magic Lantern firmware)
Picture Style button will bring up an event viewer
Digital zoom works
Button remapping is currently disabled
ALC is disabled
Digital gain is fixed at +12 dB
Analog gain is set to +10 dB
Windcut (highpass filter) is disabled
Lowpass filter is enabled with default params
EQ params are at the default settings
Magic Lantern warns that this is a beta and if it should turn your camera into a brick, you are welcome to keep both pieces! With that caveat – the firmware hack can be downloaded at: HERE!
