It allows for a host of extra features, ranging from a built-in intervalometer to HDR bracketing and beyond. The project is open source, and it encourages users to create elements of the package themselves. A consequence of this is that it isn't available for newer Canon cameras and may take a long time to become available. Not only is the 80D not officially supported, but the 70D is still a work in process. Is the next generation of cameras missing out on ML? The Problem The software is open source, and there's no guarantee that it will work. Installing ML is done at the user's own risk, and this risk increases with the installation of nightly builds (untested versions). This doesn't mean that your camera will be bricked, but it comes with its limitations. For example, if you pull out the SD card too quickly after turning off your 600D, you run the risk of bricking it - avoidable, but certainly not reassuring. If you remove the card too early, the camera will freeze and will drain the battery or even cause permanent damage." - Magic Lantern Wiki. The ML Forums are filled with similar troubleshooting issues. Would you want buggy software to affect an important shoot? The Benefitsįor most ML users, the benefits outweigh the risk. As an ML user, I myself would rather take the small risk in order to gain the extra features. This alone makes it worth it for me. Maybe you want to take a photo without triggering the shutter? ML allows the camera to take silent photos.īeing able to manually change the white balance on the fly saves me so much time.
Record voice tags for your images? Or triggering the shutter based on motion detection? It's all included. Kraig Adams from Wedding Film School mentioned that he had issues with Magic Lantern corrupting his footage and has since found the Sony a7S to be the perfect replacement. This is a great example of Canon being left behind and ML along with it. This is only one case, though, and in fact, it may not spell the end of ML at all.
