Set the boot flag on your SD card (which basically says, “I have software on me”).Flip a switch in your Canon firmware that tells it to boot from the SD card (if possible).There are three steps to installing Magic Lantern: The normal Canon coverage stays the same. But only if the problem was specifically caused by Magic Lantern. However, if Magic Lantern breaks your camera, the Canon warranty will not cover that. The Canon warranty stays exactly the same. Back when they were just discovering what Magic Lantern could do, there was only an alpha version, and it was buggy and caused problems with some cameras, but that’s not happening anymore.īecause Magic Lantern does not actually modify the hardware of the camera in any way, it does not void your normal Canon warranty. If we’re talking about the stable release, thousands of people have installed it without any problems. Because the engineers are really figuring all of this stuff out by experimentation, it is possible that something could go wrong. There is an extremely remote possibility of Magic Lantern destroying your camera. The current stable release has been tested, not as much as the actual Canon one, but it’s been tested by lots of people, and they’ve gotten rid of most of the bugs. I personally would only recommend installing the alpha versions if you’re into techy stuff, and you understand what’s going on, and you’re willing to take more of a risk. It’s not polished, and it’s not fully tested. People are trying out new things, experimenting with new features, playing around with stuff. The alpha is what’s currently being developed.

You can install the current stable release, or the alpha software. There are two kinds of Magic Lantern that you can install on your camera. All of the normal Canon features stay right there, but Magic Lantern gives you some new ones. I’ll be talking about that film all through this series.įirst, what Magic Lantern isn’t: Magic Lantern is not a replacement for the firmware on your camera.
I’m using one of my films as an illustration for all of these concepts, so if you haven’t seen the Portrait of Macerata, check it out here. The second video goes very in-depth with the DSLR – I cover everything you need to know about formats, codecs, and dynamic range in order to get the most cinematic images. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out here: The first video/article was all about the gear (lenses, filters, tripods, etc). I’ll be going over the concepts behind Magic Lantern, a lot of questions that people have about it, and then I’ll be demonstrating live all of the features that I rely on in my films. This article/video is all about Magic Lantern and how it helps me get the most out of low-end DSLRs (in this case, the Canon T2i/550D).

David Kong here, with my third post in this video/article series that is all about working with less gear, for less money, and making it look good.
