You also need to run the firmware update process to make the card bootable, or use EOSCard for Windows or MacBoot for Mac OS X (make DSLR bootable option) to make the cards bootable (use the camera to format the cards first).

So, to make Magic Lantern run from other cards as well, you need to do more than just copy the ML files onto the cards. Just copying the files does not make the card bootable.

Magic Lantern's "firmware update" makes the card you install it from bootable. One question about the files on the SD card.i can copy the files to other SD cards that I use (assuming this is all that's required), but what happens if I use a card without the files present? ML just doesn't work? With trap focus the 6D's AF points are very accurate, I also found that all AF points on my 450D were very accurate using trap focus. Should be interesting to see how accurate it is away from the center focus point (let's face, the 6D's focus system ain't the greatest!!) It might well have been one of your previous posts that I've read.Īnyway, I've got over my fears of breaking my baby, updated the Canon firmware and added on ML.need to have a better play around with it, but the trap focus seems to be working. This is how I made trap focus images with my ultra-micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.īut easier is it to just use the Magic Lantern firm ware extension.

This then means you can use focus trap with manual focus lenses. So if there is another way to achieve focus trap on the 6D without using Magic Lantern then I'd love to hear about it!Īnother way is to make an adapter which lets the camera think there is an AF lens on the camera (but there is no lens there in AF mode). It runs next to the Canon firmware, you do not have to use the Magic Lantern functions, and the camera keeps on working as it did before. Magic Lantern lives on your SD card, not on the camera itself. Quite honestly, I don't really want to change the software on my camera (the thought of changing my much loved 6D is not a pleasant one!)

Only works with AF lenses, set in AF mode.

On my single Sigma lens focus trap worked with any set aperture.

With the Canon lenses I tried, closing the aperture resulted in a error.

I am quite certain for instance the 5D series (mk III and up) may generate lens errors when the AF is not working. It may still work on the 6D, but not all cameras react the same. I have written about it in the past, so maybe that is what you read.

Can anyone confirm, first hand, that this works? I've read that there may be a way to get trap focus to work on the 6D without Magic Lantern (taping off the right pin on the lens). I'm looking for some advice (or soothing words!) on Magic Lantern and focus trap on a Canon 6D.
