Following the small, but positive feedback from this thread [
http://bit.ly/ml-unified-5D2 ], I'm glad to announce the next
long-term direction of Magic Lantern: merging the AJ 5.x firmware with
the unified one currently running on smaller cameras.
I need your help. As explained in the previous post, a good port (one
suitable for paid jobs) requires me having a camera for testing. On
550D/60D ports, crashes are almost non-existent, audio meters are
calibrated, HDMI monitors are fully usable and so on.
So, if you like this idea, you may help me buy a 5D2 by:
- a small donation (you don't need a PayPal account for this):
http://goo.gl/gvD8Q
- or by spreading the word, since right now there are not many users
familiar with both ML versions
Feature-wise: I'd like to ask the users who have tried both AJ and
Unified ML (especially those using both versions in a regular fashion)
to comment on this. Main question: what's the best of both worlds?
What do you like better in AJ 5.x and what do you like better in
Unified?
Big thanks to all ML community for making it possible!
Alex

Many thanks for your support!
I will be donating even though I have no 5d, its the least I can do for all the hard work and effort you have put in to producing ML as a whole, I suggest everybody who can do it, come on guys look at what Alex has given us he's made our cameras double the value in features..........
so am i right in thinking that as it has a "super 35" sensor, its a
smaller sensor than the 5d Mkii?
Regarding user interface, the current unified version was inspired a
lot from AJ. I did not have a chance to use AJ version so far (so I
only know it from what I saw in Moira's videos). After I'll try it, I
may add more elements from AJ (you can tell me your suggestions too).
> I will add my voice to this. I love the AJ series and am not interested in still photo options which will just clutter up the menus unnecessarily.
Latest updates for smaller cameras only display movie options in movie
mode, and photo options in photo mode.
> If we can keep the menu style and functionality of the AJ version wiht being able to turn off the menus that are not relevant to video, I would support the project.
All AJ functionality will be there (only that magic circles will be
square). Menus will be redesigned, but I want to try the AJ version
first.
> If not, then I will be looking for someone to carry on the independent AJ series.
From the first post I've been asking you what to keep from AJ and what
to keep from the current Unified. I don't understand why you are
saying this.

Hello Alex
I am not familiar with the Unified version as I don't have any of those cameras so I can't say whether I like or dislike it. I am very used to the AJ menus having been using them now for most of this year. Is there a video anywhere showing the Unified menus like mine of AJ 5.0?
I hope you get your 5D2 soon (yes, I have contributed).
regards
Moira

Here are some videos showing ML on 600D and 550D:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G5aEJQDtng
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mUOhxskTXw
Right now there's no video showing the simplified menus, since they
are very recent. I'm attaching a screenshot, just to get the idea.
There's a proposal for using submenus for complex menu items with
different options (for example: the zoom box may have position, size,
magnification (1x/2x), trigger mode and focus confirmation method).
This means it will be possible to navigate the menu and change
settings with the two dials (wheels). On 60D I can already navigate
them very quickly.

Thanks a lot! Did you use a different e-mail address?
> PS Do have a look at the tweet below
I've noticed Jared's announcement last night. He is very close, I'm
confident he will get the funds in 3 days, according to his latest
graph. Small donations can add up much faster than one may think.

I'm confident it won't stop, since there's no deadline, and we have
the example with the 60D: I was able to order the camera after less
than one month. The 5D2 has a much better start, I already have 40%
after one week :)
This was the beginning of unified ML:
http://groups.google.com/group/ml-devel/msg/fe624afc8e255dfd
I've already started to analyze the 5D2 209 firmware and extract
constants and other camera-specific code.
> I think that being able to enable/disable menus would be an excellent option for anyone.
For advanced users it would be very nice; for beginners, it may just
make it more confusing. I've seen a lot of reactions like "so many
confusing options in ML", so I think starting with a good default
configuration, showing most important features, is more valuable.
That's what I did in latest updates, and now the question is "where
did all advanced ML options go?" (answer: press MENU to show them
all).

Just a heads up new 5d firmware on the way : http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/11/5d-mark-ii-firmware-2-1-1-sighting/
Right now it's not possible to have preview with some picture style
and recording with another one.
Just hit the 1000 EUR mark shortly after your message, very nice.
The link to this thread is on the main wiki page, and traffic is
constant (300 visits daily). So if every visitor would donate 5 EUR...
just do the math :)
I'm planning to start a fresh port for the 2.1.1 firmware (which will
probably appear online these days). It's likely that most of the
constants will be identical between 2.0.9 and 2.1.1.

I've also ran the matching routine between 5D2 and 50D and found most
of the stubs (pushed on the repo). If you need an IDC, let me know.
I'm using a 550D myself, but as we all know, the ML project started on
the 5D Mark II and we all couldn't use ML now if Trammell wouldn't
have started it.
I think that we will all benefit from mergin the Unified and AJ's
version.
Many thanks to Trammell, Arm.indy, AJ, Alex and all other people who
contributed to Magic Lantern!

According to early testers, most essentials already work well,
including HDMI support. Jakob did the first real-world test on HDMI
(he recorded around 50 videos, without any problem).
I didn't try it myself and there are still some rough edges.

Could I become a beta tester of magic lantern on my 5d Mark II?

On the second Autoexec.bin there is a text GUI MODE: 0 or sometime GUI MOD: 2 always appears on the screen, on the menu mode, etc...
ps: I've donated to your new camera...
Then install AJ 5.9

The 600D thermometer for the audio issue maybe? ;)

as always, thanks for the great work on this Alex.
'sodo
probably I missed a post, but where did you get the unified firmware
for 5d2? thanks
ciao Sander
Also, to ease the pain, the most complete compiling instructions are
still the one for 550D here:
