There are a lot of features under Magic Lantern. But first, to enable monitoring of write speeds while you record, go to the Movie menu > Raw Video > Advanced > Debug Info and turn it on. I go over some ways at the bottom of this post to increase your write speeds. Recording raw on the 50D is all about write speeds to your CF card.However, to adjust the values of many of the settings, such as the key FPS Override, you need to hit the FUNC button in order to make changes. Once in the Magic Lantern menu, you use the “Set” button, the button in the middle of the scroll wheel on the back of the camera, to turn most functions on or off.There is no Q button on the 50D, so whenever you see a reference to the Q button, press the FUNC button at the bottom of the back of the camera, which is right next to the On/Off switch. The Magic Lantern user guide, and users of other Canon cameras, will often refer to the “Q” button.Once Live View is on, press the button to the left of the blue Trash Can icon at the bottom-left of the back of the camera. To enter the Magic Lantern, as opposed to the Canon menu, turn on Live View after it is enabled by pressing the button next to the Menu button on the top-left of the back of the camera that has a white camera icon above it.You can find the Live View settings at the bottom of the second yellow wrench in the Canon Menu. Thus you need to make sure “Live View” is enabled. Magic Lantern thus considers “Live View,” the functionality in the Canon camera that displays the image in the display screen on the back of the camera, to be movie mode. Canon didn’t sell the 50D with video enabled, so there is no dedicated “movie mode” on the mode dial on the top-left of the camera.
Check out the User Guide for a full list of all the features Magic Lantern has to offer as well as their locations in the Magic Lantern menu.
Now that you have Magic Lantern installed, you will need to familiarize yourself with the settings and capabilities of Magic Lantern. In this post, I’m going to go through setting up Magic Lantern to enable raw recording and what you need to do to be able to actually shoot full 1920×1080 HD raw video. In my previous post, I went through the step by step details of installing raw video with the Magic Lantern hack on the Canon 50D.
