You record to fast SD/CF cards, with the data chewing up 8 gig a minute! What does Magic Lantern do?Īmongst a host of features for both video and photography, that are not available in the Canon firmware the camera ships with (see the Magic Lantern web site) our focus of interest is the fact that shooting video bypasses the camera compression (h264) and allows capture straight from the censor at a wide dynamic range in 14-bit RAW format. Metech is actually situated just 100 yards away from the 'A' Stage, should our projects require its use we have reduced hire rates. The still images at the end are stretched in most cases due to being supplied web size files, however, worth putting in due to their important content! Video Note There is one Phantom 3 quadcopter shot which is the camera onboard and not Magic Lantern video. Of course YouTube has compressed the video but the advantage of using Magic Lantern is quite clear when compared to the standard DSLR h264 that the camera exports.

We found problems with certain builds and eventually settled on one that has been very stable - 30th May 15. The ' Nightly Builds' available for download on the Magic Lantern web site will give you the very latest features but as mentioned come with some potential risks. Earlier versions of Magic Lantern are considered to be more stable but leave a boot flag on the camera.
Luckily, the latest versions of the Magic Lantern Firmware allow you to, using a separate SD/CF card in your camera, load and remove this system, re-instating the original Canon firmware if required. Installing this firmware could (although very unlikely) leave your camera in a locked, useless state. The firmware is not endorsed nor supported by Canon and users temporarily overwrite the camera software with this alternative at their own risk. Magic Lantern is an alternative operating system (firmware) developed by volunteer programmers in an open source environment.
