Wow, this is a VERY different camera than the one I started out with 10 years ago. I used ML a little bit back then, but it could only record low-res raw in very short bursts with the memory cards I had-and they weren't cheap! But I'm not surprised it's still producing great quality images, I used the 5D II professionally up until 2018!
Excellent tutorial Zeek and love the video clips, had my 5d MKII from day one release and still in perfect condition, such a good professional full frame camera even for stills love the new resolution and your helpful tips always appreciated, get yourself 700D very similar to the EOS M and fully supported has flip screen and card write speed at 240mhz,, Bilal and Danne are still supporting it on ML
Great looking footage. Fun fact, I still use the OG 5D for stills. Did a shoot just prior to pandemic and a pro photographer buddy of mine saw the stills and asked what camera I used because he loved the look (5DMIV user). When I told him he looked like he wanted to cry. Great lighting and knowing how to compose is far more important than owning a new camera body! I just may pick up a 5DMII. Wonder what they go for on eBay these days.
Haha amazing story, thanks for sharing 👍 Still amazing cameras even today. The 5D2 has had a price drop. I used to pay close to $1000 for it, not you can get it between $300-700. 1 got mint for $500 with around 900 shutter count.
Zeek. I was inspired to buy a 5D MII and I love it for stills photography! I did want to experiment with ML and I had before with a T3i...., I have to say your video are entertaining but if you haven't a lot of experience with ML your videos are now help for setting up ML at all. You skip steps and move to fast though the menues...,
Brilliant footage man. So no more aliasing and moiré with this build? I can see none in your footage. Previously 5d mark ii was very limiting to shoot with ML raw.
With 2.8K RAW, it's barely as visible as the 1080 mode. However in my latest video I hacked the 55-250 Aps-c kit lens onto the 5D2 with a 1.4x teleconverter and couldn't see any aliasing even in the 1080 mode or even with the Helios 44-2, so it's amazing the lens choice is also important in reducing aliasing.
Zeek, I just picked up this camera today! Your video is perfectly timed. Does anamorphic mode work? It just resulted in a black screen for me on the previous build you recommended.
Perfect! 🎥👍 Not well, when you enable that mode, press the X5 Magnify button and then set aspect ratio to 2.35:1 which is the only one that works I believe. I only ever use the 1080 & 2.8K/2K Modes 🔥🎥
This is kind of a dumb question because I'm relatively new to this and if you already have a video on this could you point me to it. I was wondering what the actual work flow using mlv is like. For instance, how do you reformat the card then reinstall magic lantern without reformating the card in the camera and resetting the camera itself? Also does mlv help with photos at all? Sorry for the dumb questions. Love the videos!
Check out my playlists on the channel 😎👍 Here is MLV App setup: th-cam.com/video/chtpBWMX1MY/w-d-xo.html You can format the card and ML will not be removed unless when you format, you select remove ML.
Good to see that a few updates still come through for the ML cameras. What do you use yourself these days for TH-cam? I sold my 5Diii a while back and regret it! Looking at either EOS M, M2, or 5Dii.
The 5D3 would be boss, 5DII is fine for YT as show,, but preferably you would should wide open or close-to to avoid aliasing or use an Anti Aliasing Filter. The EOS M with the 5K FRTP mode is good, greatly reduced aliasing. I wouldn't get the M2. I pretty much export as DNG and then grade in Davinci, then export as 422 LT/HQ or 4444. Then put together in FCPX. ML & DNG Workflow is so Easy: th-cam.com/video/hb3iE5djAt0/w-d-xo.html
Hey! thanks for the vid! I have used your ML version from the link and the Manual mode (M) does not work with Video. is that normal? when I click on Live View button nothing happen when it is on M. your advise will be highly appreciated. thanks much
Wow great video Bro! Mind blowing. It must have been a super geeky genius which made this Magic Lantern software! How is that possible even to write code for a camera like that! I was not even aware of that you could hook up Nikkor lenses to the 5D Mark II. Do you have more videos on lens options for the camera?
Is there any point of using Technicolor Cinestyle picture profile if I am using Magic Lantern RAW? I guess it won't preserve any more details since I am already getting RAW footage? Thanks for all the videos!
@Zeek, you channel is fantastic. One partially related question: I got an EOS 5D mII lying around here and I would like to bring it to use in occasional video calls. Unfortunately the latest Canon webcam drivers aren’t working on my 5D mII connected to my mac via usb. I am now experimenting with the live view and the hdmi output. I kinda works, but the image is mirrored and the focus rectangle is in the way. Does your latest firmware support clear hdmi output? Or do you know of any other solution?
@@arminbwagner Really? I have tested my Eos m shooting Raw and I got 2 hours. I will test the 5D2 out and see with a 128GB card. Is yours set to 10 bit? You can enable powersave option in ML I think tab 7, you can disable 30 minute limit and work beyond.
I'd probably go with the 6D. Better in lowlight. I like L Glass lenses like the 24-70 F4 or Sigma Art. If you like zooms with Stabilisation, then the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC is a very good one for photos and video. Good Canon lenses for photos, Canon STM 50mm F1.8 or 35mm F2. The old Sigma DG HSM ex 50mm F1.4 is very good too.
what is your solution if you have any when it comes to doing 5d mk ii and using extended battery. I read somewhere that you shouldn't use 3rd party batteries... why is this the case? Also, is it possible to do remote shooting via laptop and still film raw? Thanks again Mr. Zeek :)
You can use a dummy battery with 12v DC Out to a monitor that supports it. Otherwise I carry a few batteries, including third party ones. They're fine, no issues.
@@ZeekEOSZ you're so helpful.. I've never used a DC dummy battery It looks like a standard 9v/12v male jack. But i notice your battery in the EOS-M canon dummy is a female. Would a dummy battery plugged into cellphone style brick direct into a power outlet (the wall) work? I'm concerned about killing my camera! the prices of 5D MK II have appreciated (which is crazy)
@@TheJackMarcin For a wall mount, you need a 12v wall Adapter which goes into the 12v input on the monitor. The dummy goes into the 8.4V on the monitor that supports it, e.g. Fotga A50T or Feelworld F6 Plus
I just bought a Kingston Canva Focus 256gb Card and i am unable to format it to work with my camera. Everytime I plug it in and power up the camera it says: "Cannot Create Folder." I am unable to shoot any photos at all nor have any response other than scrolling through the menu and attempting to format. When i try to format the card appears full 232GB/232GB. Upon attempting to format it basically freezes then i have to pull the battery. If format it on my mac to ExFat format it only changes the error message, but it still will not format and freezes. I have to pull the battery. Have you ever had a similar issue with a card? If there's no simple solution I might just return the card. But perhaps there is way around that I am not familiar with?
Hmm, I've never come across this before. Make sure all the ML files are on the CF Card. Format in camera if you can. Format in another camera if you have one. ExFat is for Windows systems, you need journalised for Mac.
Great videos! I shot 5d mark 2 raw in 2013 and 2014 (search "Hanna's mission" for a little video I shot on it) and loved it. I have since used 4k cameras and now that I see the 5d can do 2.7 k raw I am thinking of buying another 5d mark 2, after selling my original, sigh. The footage I shot in 1880 resolution looks better than my Panasonic 4k cameras. So organic, so full of information. So I did remember some pink color, just in little slivers here and there, when I ran my dngs through Davinci Resolve. Is that little glitch gone now, or are you still seeing it?
Hi Zeek, great video (as always)! Can I ask you the crop factor of the 2.8k mode? Because the in-camera-preview is 5x but the file seems to have a larger field of view
Do a video for best settings in MLV. I have a questions. Is it better to lower down exposure and bring up shadows for sharper detailed video or bring up exposure and lower shadows??
Whatever the situation calls for and how good you camera's latitude is. The latter method will look more contrasty, whereas the first one will look more flat. If you're going to denoiser in post the it's fine, but getting good exposure out of the camera first is key.
Very helpful video, as it has been a while since shooting with the 5D2. Which is the best mode for the least aliasing? I'm guessing the crop mode like on the EOS M.
Whoa whoa whoa --- what do you mean modified with an EF mount? I have been searching for FOREVER. Can you tell me where you got it? How you modified it? The only video I could find was a TH-camr that removed the plastic ring by force - yet that looks like if you adjust your lens to the maximum, you could damage the full-frame mirror. Please help Zeek, I have been looking for a looong time for an answer - even talking directly to Canon. But no luck until 2:50 in this video ...
Zeek - for some strange reasons, I find newer cameras are not really better... Feels like revisiting ML path. I wonder, are the videos recorded with ML on 5D Mark ii are all-intra or long gop? Please guide.
Totally new to Magic Lantern. Haven't even quite figured out what to download yet. Been shooting on the Mark II since the year it came out and would love to keep using it. Just not sure where to start with this. I'm also at that point in my life where new phones confuse me.
The files are in the description. Download the folder, all the files in the folder should be copied and pasted into a CF Card. Then you update firmware. 😎👍🎥💯
Hi @zeek. I keep getting what appears to be corrupted videos (they appear all red and garbled with no discernable video) with this build. Have you run into this? i just want basic 1080p raw videos. should I go back to the nightly build?
Hey Zeek, thanks a lot for this video and the others about ML for 5D. If I select 1880×1058, with a Sandisk extreme CF 160mb/s (64, 128giga...), do you think I can record continuosly or the camera is going self stop at a certain point? What if I increase a litle bit (2k)?
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks again! What is the crop factor in 2K? And what do you think about enlarging the image from 1880x1058 to 1920x1080 in post? Does the quality would get so down or you could still have a good and cinematic product workable in color correction?
Hey Zeek, I have been messing around with your build as well as some others, thank you! I am finding that my footage seems to have issues when I use an external monitor, corrupted files or odd frame issues, have you found this at all, or do you have any idea as to why? Cheers Chris
Use your smartphone as a monitor, as I have done with my EOS M/5D2: th-cam.com/video/vCdDZ8fXtis/w-d-xo.html Dropped frames never used to happen for me with the 5D2 and external monitors until i got a new cable. Not sure if that's the solution, try reducing the resolution a little and see if that does anything. Dropped frames happen when the camera performs under stress. Make sure youre shooting 24p and try 10 bit.
Can't wait to try this on my camera! I have one of those silicone covers for my 5dii as well. After taking the camera apart several times, the rubber grips didn't stick back on properly.
Thank you so much for the vedeo I wanna ask you a question. I have the same camera but why the settings doesn't loik like yours? It doesn't look like we have the same camera at all? Is there an update or what?
By the way zeek, How long can you record with the sandisk extreme pro 128gb with the 1880x1058 raw video at 10bit until the card has no more space. I am assuming it would be around 30 minutes or so right? Would love to find out. Also, does the 256gb work on 5d m2? I hear people's 256gb cf card not working on their 5d m2 tho. Hoping for your reply :)
Zeek, maybe you could help me with the question I have. I have been shooting the old sony a-55 with a 17mbps bitrate and bad glass. Looking for a upgrade and considering the 5d2 with magic lantern. I dont mind tinkering with it and putting some effort in to get something nice out of it. A big advantage would allready be that the still quality should be amazing. But video? I would like to shoot high quality 1080p, preferably 1440p and maybe 4k. However I do read a lot about crops and I am a bit worried now if the 5d2 still feels like a good option because I would like to take advantage out of the fullframe sensor. So what crops are we talking about with these resolutions? And how do you still get some nice wide shots? What kind of (vintage) glass would you need to tackle this?
There's no crops with the 5D2 or even the 5D3 with ML. It shoots Full Frame Raw in 1080 Mode. Of you're going to shoot 2.8K Raw then there is a 2x Crop Factor. I like Zeiss Vintage Glass, Takumar and Helios with the 5D2.
@@ZeekEOSZ perfect. Just what I needed to know, thank you. Makes me think to consider 1080p once again. One more thing, what focal lengts do you find yourself using if you do shoot 2.8k?
@@harmfpv For the 5D2, I like 35/50mm lenses. I also use the Canon 24-70 F4 IS which I love. I think any lens with stabilisation is going to work great.
Have you experienced any ripples in your video when shooting @ 2880? I get a bit of cmos ripple(jello imaging) at 2.8k. Maybe I missed something in the settings?
You mean lines, that fade away after a few seconds? I haven't experienced any jello imaging before. Must be the 2x Crop Factor in the 2.8K Mode, so more wobble when hand-holding. I use a neck strap and stretch it out to create tension then add post stabilisation.
Hey Zeke, thank you for an amazing instructional video. I have a question about the 3.5k mode. Now, when we activate this mode, we get the pink screen and a x5 zoom. We know that the actual zoom on the sensor is x2. How can we know how to compose the shot properly? I tried this mode but I'm having difficulty composing the shots. Thank you!
No problem. To see the exact framing, you need to go into raw video section and set preview to Grey scale which shows the exact framing. It can be a bit challenging, but I'm used to it. Sometimes I record with the pink Liveview and then playback to see the framing, then I know how to frame on the pink live view.
@@ZeekEOSZ Many thanks for your reply. I tried the grey scale and it's great. I have however two more issues for which I hope you can help, although I'm sure you already answered them somewhere. 1) On the crispier, higher-detail areas, I see some green and red little spots. Is that normal? 2) I'm getting quite a lot of noise on the darker areas even though I'm shooting at ISO 100. I think there is more noise after I'm increasing the sharpness to 100. Thank you so much!
I haven't noticed any green or red spots before. Chroma noise? With the 5D2 , you can lift the ISO up to 320 ISO, shouldn't be too bad. Faster lenses are always better, e.g. F/1.4 - 2. Leave sharpness at 0% in MLV App if you get a lot of noise. Exporting DNG from MLV App seems to have better noise output.
Zeek which of these cameras do you think would be best for magic lantern: 5d mk2, 70D or 6D? I like the sound of the 70d's dual pixel autofocus but also like the full frame of the 5d mk2 and 6d. What's your opinion.
I would choose the 5D3 above all these. The 6D could be my next choice as it has received some modern updates and new modes. Dynamic range is good too. Aliasing will be shown on these cams in 1080 mode. 70D lacks modern builds, but the DPAF is indeed nice. You don't need a monitor with it. I'd look at TH-cam Videos with it and see if you like the Magic Lantern Look on it. You could also go the EOS M with a speedbooster.
@@ZeekEOSZ I plan on making short films with the 5D2 and was looking for an all purpose lens. I'm finding that lens prices are much higher for full frame cameras. I keep hearing the 24-70 is the best but I like the 18-135 in your video. Which would you choose if you had to choose just 1?
I just bought the 5D2. It's on it's way but I'm a bit confused on the memory card. Do i need the compact flash card or will an SD card work? Will the SD card with a compact flash card adapter work ok? I have a 128GB Extreme PRO SD card so I'm wondering if it's just an adapter I need. Thanks Zeek!
@@ZeekEOSZ I need the EF-S to EF i have a 5D Mkii and have some EF-S style lenses. I found your tutorial and just ordered the part! hoping it gets here from china fast! this wide lens would be great to use. its really a shame that EF-s dont work with EF mount, but not for long!!
What about the noise? I'm thinking about acquiring a camera with ML capability and better low light perfomance than EOS M. Did you test 5D Mark II in low light condition? Which highest ISO you use in this case? Do you think about 5D Mark III?
Fantastic work as usual dear Zeek! Using that build. If I ever want to record long. Really long like 60minutes for a concert. Do i need to get some settings changed? Tryied in h264 and got only 12min/4.2 gb bits and then stopped. HELP! Thanks a lot !
It's explained here, check the description for the power save section: th-cam.com/video/Crlqa0_43js/w-d-xo.html This is on the Eos m, but I'm certain the 5D2 has it as well.
Good video. I have one question. Is it possible to stop turn off camera after 30 min of working during HDMI connection. I try to join my Mark 2 and 3 to HDMI recorder. But it turn off after 30 mins. Do you have any solution?
Hi and thanks for this awesome tutorial and video on the 5D2. When I am using your build and doing everything like you do on a almost brand new 5D2 (less than 1000 shots) everything works except when I go into 5x crop I get a completly pink screen with flickers and a screen full of scanlines. Also it sometimes just freezes or some other artifacts (black and white bars) appear. Video taken is also completely pink/white. Anything I am doing wrong?
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks for the response! Seemed to have worked with Canon Hacked Gray Scale. Did not record a long clip yet but will try and report how it goes. Also noticed it does make a difference what video modes you pick in the Canon menu. 1920x1080 30/24.. I tried to follow each step but always had a different number in the "RAW Video (MLV)" menu. Can't wait to record a scene with your build Thanks again!
@@ZeekEOSZ Any tips on getting 180 shutter degree? I used that lastest build you had, but I remember my EOSM had shutter fine tuning and noticed it will only hit 171 or like 192 with the 5Dmkii, just curious. Cheers
hey zeek ! thank you so much for your videos i am diving in magic latern but i am already facing an issue, icant change my resolution mode "it says the only resolution available is the video mode 1880. do you know from where the pb might ome from ?
Don't know what pb mode is. To change from 1880x to 2.8k mode, just press the magnification button on the top right to enter X5 zoom when in the 3.5K preset.
would you use 5d mark ii raw professionally? i'm thinking of getting this camera since changing ecosystem to Fuji or Sony seems very expensive especially since i already have some EF lenses available. But i'm a bit concerned about the workflow and the data rates of raw video.
I love your videos mate. Have you played much around with the higher bit rates for putting them in resolving things like that and do you think you’d get much out of them. I’m guessing the limiting factor is time recording but even if they were a hero shots you’d want to greater heavily just wondering . But I’m sure to find out soon anyway thanks mate love your videos!
Yes I have, there not much of a difference, if at all. 14 Bit is 15 or so seconds. But quality difference in isn't significant. 10 Bit is more than enough for Grading with ML Raw on the 5D2.
Hey Zeek. Have you ever got a bricked SD card from using ML? I just relized I have a 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro that i could never fix and is a shame. If you know yourself how to fix it or any article post that could help me out please let me know. Thanks a lot for your content, I'm thinking of buying the Pentax-M 50mm 1.4 and the viltrox speedbooster that i've been saving a lot for, hoping to get some low light performance out of them. Cheers
I don't think you can btrock the SD card. Just format on a PC/Mac. Never experienced this before. Love the Pentax. It will work fine with a generic Adapter, but with a speedbooster, the back mount will need to be modified.
There is no "Crop mode" in the "Movie Settings" menu anymore sadly. You can get some nice formats still, but without that you can't get up to 2.8k sadly even with the 5x zoom on. The results are still fun to mess around with though.
Hey Zeek! How are you doing? I just got my 5dmkii. I like your silicon skin. Looks that fits tight. Would you mind to share the brand please? I will try to install ML these days
Hi Zeek, what do you think about the difference in terms of resolution and quality between 1880×1058 (Full HD) and the crop solutions (2K, 2.5K... 2.8k...). I heard that if you use the crop factor you're using just a small part of the sensor, does this decrease the resolution and quality of the image? Let's put it in the easy way: according to you is the full hd raw a better choice in spite of the higher raw definition solutions on the 5D2?
HD Raw is a good choice yes. Aliasing can become an issue though depending on the lens. I like vintage glass, they work quite good. Higher resolutions can be a bit sketchy to use, but the results are darn good. HD Raw is good enough 👍
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks a lot. I made a test yesterday. Full HD worked perfectly, 2.3K instead gave me this kind of problem. www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19092.0 (pink and green frames sometimes, and a bit jello effect). Any idea of what could be the reason?
@@pierpaolodemejo933 Good to hear! The pink stuff are dropped frames when the camera Performa under pressure. Disabling Audio and global draw can help, as well as selecting 10 Bit.
@@ZeekEOSZ Gosh, you know everything! :D I've just tested what you said and 2.3k mode works much better. Some drops still remain but much less then before. My conclusion is the same of yours I guess: Full HD is more stable and the better solution if you need to shoot a short movie or stuff like that
Great Content Zeek. I have the 5d Mark ii and the EOS M2 and magic lantern works great. My only problem is my 5d mark ii autofocus doesn’t work. Is the autofocus not available on the 5d mark ii? I use Canon lenses and 3rd party EF lenses and with a speedbooster the autofocus works perfect on EosM2.

But I'm not surprised it's still producing great quality images, I used the 5D II professionally up until 2018!
Yeah, it's amazing. For stills it's magic, with ML Raw it's a new camera, especially with false colour and histogram.
I’m getting the Canon 5D MkII after this video. Thanks for the informative video
No worries 🎥🔥

No worries 👍
If you ever gent the 5D miii that’s I’m going to cry of happiness.
It's a very nice camera for sure, an ML Workhorse. Maybe one day. ;)
The footage is amazing, reminds me of some old movies!
Appreciate it ;) Love the vintage Vibe.
I was also thinking the same
Didn't realise, had the volume set low, turned it up and loved the music and the birdsong with the live mic, I also liked your editing, very slick

Still amazing cameras even today. The 5D2 has had a price drop. I used to pay close to $1000 for it, not you can get it between $300-700. 1 got mint for $500 with around 900 shutter count.
Is there any performance difference from 5d2 to 5d3 in ML?

Yes indeed, cheers 😎👍
Dude great video man. Kudos
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant footage man. So no more aliasing and moiré with this build? I can see none in your footage. Previously 5d mark ii was very limiting to shoot with ML raw.
With 2.8K RAW, it's barely as visible as the 1080 mode. However in my latest video I hacked the 55-250 Aps-c kit lens onto the 5D2 with a 1.4x teleconverter and couldn't see any aliasing even in the 1080 mode or even with the Helios 44-2, so it's amazing the lens choice is also important in reducing aliasing.
Zeek, I just picked up this camera today! Your video is perfectly timed. Does anamorphic mode work? It just resulted in a black screen for me on the previous build you recommended.
Perfect! 🎥👍
Not well, when you enable that mode, press the X5 Magnify button and then set aspect ratio to 2.35:1 which is the only one that works I believe. I only ever use the 1080 & 2.8K/2K Modes 🔥🎥
I have cinematic cat called Spielberg.
This is kind of a dumb question because I'm relatively new to this and if you already have a video on this could you point me to it. I was wondering what the actual work flow using mlv is like. For instance, how do you reformat the card then reinstall magic lantern without reformating the card in the camera and resetting the camera itself? Also does mlv help with photos at all? Sorry for the dumb questions. Love the videos!
Check out my playlists on the channel 😎👍
Here is MLV App setup:

You can format the card and ML will not be removed unless when you format, you select remove ML.
Good to see that a few updates still come through for the ML cameras. What do you use yourself these days for TH-cam? I sold my 5Diii a while back and regret it! Looking at either EOS M, M2, or 5Dii.
The 5D3 would be boss, 5DII is fine for YT as show,, but preferably you would should wide open or close-to to avoid aliasing or use an Anti Aliasing Filter. The EOS M with the 5K FRTP mode is good, greatly reduced aliasing. I wouldn't get the M2. I pretty much export as DNG and then grade in Davinci, then export as 422 LT/HQ or 4444. Then put together in FCPX.
ML & DNG Workflow is so Easy:

Zeek have you ever tried cf to sd adapters? Would the speeds be fast enough for magic lantern?
It looks almost like movie film footage
Thank you. Magic lantern does wonders for these cameras. 14-bit Raw, can't argue with that..,🎥🔥💯
Wow great video Bro! Mind blowing. It must have been a super geeky genius which made this Magic Lantern software! How is that possible even to write code for a camera like that! I was not even aware of that you could hook up Nikkor lenses to the 5D Mark II. Do you have more videos on lens options for the camera?
Is there any point of using Technicolor Cinestyle picture profile if I am using Magic Lantern RAW? I guess it won't preserve any more details since I am already getting RAW footage? Thanks for all the videos!
Picture profiles will no effect of shooting Raw 😎👍

@Zeek, you channel is fantastic. One partially related question: I got an EOS 5D mII lying around here and I would like to bring it to use in occasional video calls. Unfortunately the latest Canon webcam drivers aren’t working on my 5D mII connected to my mac via usb. I am now experimenting with the live view and the hdmi output. I kinda works, but the image is mirrored and the focus rectangle is in the way. Does your latest firmware support clear hdmi output? Or do you know of any other solution?
You can get clean HDMI by enabling global draw off in the ml menu, or clear overlays I think tab 5/6.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you! The shutter closes after about 30mins, but apart from that my setup now works like a charm!

Really? I have tested my Eos m shooting Raw and I got 2 hours. I will test the 5D2 out and see with a 128GB card. Is yours set to 10 bit?

Hi! I'm torn between getting a second-hand 6d or 5d2. I'll mainly use if for food photography and videography. What lenses best matches them too?
I'd probably go with the 6D. Better in lowlight. I like L Glass lenses like the 24-70 F4 or Sigma Art. If you like zooms with Stabilisation, then the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC is a very good one for photos and video. Good Canon lenses for photos, Canon STM 50mm F1.8 or 35mm F2. The old Sigma DG HSM ex 50mm F1.4 is very good too.
I agree, the 6D is a keeper.
Hey zeek! great tutorials man... I hope you can do one with the Canon 70D eventually 👍
Appreciate it 👍 If I can get the 70D cheap, I wouldn't mind.
what is your solution if you have any when it comes to doing 5d mk ii and using extended battery. I read somewhere that you shouldn't use 3rd party batteries... why is this the case? Also, is it possible to do remote shooting via laptop and still film raw? Thanks again Mr. Zeek :)
You can use a dummy battery with 12v DC Out to a monitor that supports it. Otherwise I carry a few batteries, including third party ones. They're fine, no issues.

For a wall mount, you need a 12v wall Adapter which goes into the 12v input on the monitor.

I just bought a Kingston Canva Focus 256gb Card and i am unable to format it to work with my camera. Everytime I plug it in and power up the camera it says: "Cannot Create Folder." I am unable to shoot any photos at all nor have any response other than scrolling through the menu and attempting to format. When i try to format the card appears full 232GB/232GB. Upon attempting to format it basically freezes then i have to pull the battery. If format it on my mac to ExFat format it only changes the error message, but it still will not format and freezes. I have to pull the battery.
Have you ever had a similar issue with a card? If there's no simple solution I might just return the card. But perhaps there is way around that I am not familiar with?
Hmm, I've never come across this before. Make sure all the ML files are on the CF Card.
Format in camera if you can. Format in another camera if you have one. ExFat is for Windows systems, you need journalised for Mac.
Which kind of Fujinon Zoom lens is that? Looks like belonging to an older Beta-SP or Digibeta? Regards

Great videos! I shot 5d mark 2 raw in 2013 and 2014 (search "Hanna's mission" for a little video I shot on it) and loved it. I have since used 4k cameras and now that I see the 5d can do 2.7 k raw I am thinking of buying another 5d mark 2, after selling my original, sigh. The footage I shot in 1880 resolution looks better than my Panasonic 4k cameras. So organic, so full of information. So I did remember some pink color, just in little slivers here and there, when I ran my dngs through Davinci Resolve. Is that little glitch gone now, or are you still seeing it?
Hi Zeek, great video (as always)! Can I ask you the crop factor of the 2.8k mode? Because the in-camera-preview is 5x but the file seems to have a larger field of view
It's 2x crop like M43
Do a video for best settings in MLV. I have a questions. Is it better to lower down exposure and bring up shadows for sharper detailed video or bring up exposure and lower shadows??
Whatever the situation calls for and how good you camera's latitude is. The latter method will look more contrasty, whereas the first one will look more flat. If you're going to denoiser in post the it's fine, but getting good exposure out of the camera first is key.
Very helpful video, as it has been a while since shooting with the 5D2. Which is the best mode for the least aliasing? I'm guessing the crop mode like on the EOS M.
Yes the crop mode is better. Shooting fast apertures helps too. 😎👍
Whoa whoa whoa --- what do you mean modified with an EF mount? I have been searching for FOREVER. Can you tell me where you got it? How you modified it? The only video I could find was a TH-camr that removed the plastic ring by force - yet that looks like if you adjust your lens to the maximum, you could damage the full-frame mirror. Please help Zeek, I have been looking for a looong time for an answer - even talking directly to Canon. But no luck until 2:50 in this video ...
Also…. do your recommend a cage which can be used with a Canon BG-e6 battery grip? Thanks and great job.
Zeek - for some strange reasons, I find newer cameras are not really better... Feels like revisiting ML path. I wonder, are the videos recorded with ML on 5D Mark ii are all-intra or long gop? Please guide.

Totally new to Magic Lantern. Haven't even quite figured out what to download yet. Been shooting on the Mark II since the year it came out and would love to keep using it.
Just not sure where to start with this. I'm also at that point in my life where new phones confuse me.
The files are in the description. Download the folder, all the files in the folder should be copied and pasted into a CF Card. Then you update firmware. 😎👍🎥💯
Hi @zeek. I keep getting what appears to be corrupted videos (they appear all red and garbled with no discernable video) with this build. Have you run into this? i just want basic 1080p raw videos. should I go back to the nightly build?
I've never experienced this with this Build. Check your 5D2 is not at 30fps in the Canon Menu, also enable 10 bit Raw.
Hey Zeek, thanks a lot for this video and the others about ML for 5D.
If I select 1880×1058, with a Sandisk extreme CF 160mb/s (64, 128giga...), do you think I can record continuosly or the camera is going self stop at a certain point?
What if I increase a litle bit (2k)?
You can record continuous in 1080 mode and 2K for sure 😎👌 Just enable 10 Bit
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks again! What is the crop factor in 2K?
And what do you think about enlarging the image from 1880x1058 to 1920x1080 in post? Does the quality would get so down or you could still have a good and cinematic product workable in color correction?
Do you recommend to do all of this with my 5d or spend the money to build the digital bolex that you had in a video not too long ago?
It's up to you and your shooting style. The digital bolex style is cool. ML is free, won't wreck the 5d2.
Hey Zeek, I have been messing around with your build as well as some others, thank you! I am finding that my footage seems to have issues when I use an external monitor, corrupted files or odd frame issues, have you found this at all, or do you have any idea as to why? Cheers Chris
Use your smartphone as a monitor, as I have done with my EOS M/5D2:
th-cam.com/video/vCdDZ8fXtis/w-d-xo.html
Dropped frames never used to happen for me with the 5D2 and external monitors until i got a new cable. Not sure if that's the solution, try reducing the resolution a little and see if that does anything. Dropped frames happen when the camera performs under stress. Make sure youre shooting 24p and try 10 bit.
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks! makes sense, well best try a new cable first :)
Thank you!! The video quality is amazing!
What do you think of the 5d mk2 vs sony a7s, which is better? Which to choose?
A7S is good for the quick stuff, more clean especially in Lowlight. 5D2* raw may take more time. I just like ML Raw footage better though.
Can't wait to try this on my camera! I have one of those silicone covers for my 5dii as well. After taking the camera apart several times, the rubber grips didn't stick back on properly.
Thank you so much for the vedeo

Thank you! Cheers!
By the way zeek, How long can you record with the sandisk extreme pro 128gb with the 1880x1058 raw video at 10bit until the card has no more space. I am assuming it would be around 30 minutes or so right? Would love to find out. Also, does the 256gb work on 5d m2? I hear people's 256gb cf card not working on their 5d m2 tho. Hoping for your reply :)
It would be about 30 mins or a bit more. I've never tried 256GB on the 5D2, although the 512GB SanDisk SD works on my EOS M. So it may work.
Zeek, maybe you could help me with the question I have.
I have been shooting the old sony a-55 with a 17mbps bitrate and bad glass. Looking for a upgrade and considering the 5d2 with magic lantern. I dont mind tinkering with it and putting some effort in to get something nice out of it.
A big advantage would allready be that the still quality should be amazing.
But video?
I would like to shoot high quality 1080p, preferably 1440p and maybe 4k. However I do read a lot about crops and I am a bit worried now if the 5d2 still feels like a good option because I would like to take advantage out of the fullframe sensor. So what crops are we talking about with these resolutions? And how do you still get some nice wide shots? What kind of (vintage) glass would you need to tackle this?
There's no crops with the 5D2 or even the 5D3 with ML. It shoots Full Frame Raw in 1080 Mode. Of you're going to shoot 2.8K Raw then there is a 2x Crop Factor.
I like Zeiss Vintage Glass, Takumar and Helios with the 5D2.
@@ZeekEOSZ perfect. Just what I needed to know, thank you. Makes me think to consider 1080p once again. One more thing, what focal lengts do you find yourself using if you do shoot 2.8k?
@@harmfpv
For the 5D2, I like 35/50mm lenses. I also use the Canon 24-70 F4 IS which I love. I think any lens with stabilisation is going to work great.
@@ZeekEOSZ thank you, perfect.
Have you experienced any ripples in your video when shooting @ 2880? I get a bit of cmos ripple(jello imaging) at 2.8k. Maybe I missed something in the settings?
You mean lines, that fade away after a few seconds? I haven't experienced any jello imaging before. Must be the 2x Crop Factor in the 2.8K Mode, so more wobble when hand-holding. I use a neck strap and stretch it out to create tension then add post stabilisation.
Just got this body and battery for usd 200 cash.
Can't wait to load up magic lantern and begin using it on gigs.
Im a beginner with a Canon 5D Mark 2 and I just have one question, how did you get that other menu. I have none of those things??
Hey Zeke, thank you for an amazing instructional video. I have a question about the 3.5k mode. Now, when we activate this mode, we get the pink screen and a x5 zoom. We know that the actual zoom on the sensor is x2. How can we know how to compose the shot properly? I tried this mode but I'm having difficulty composing the shots. Thank you!
No problem. To see the exact framing, you need to go into raw video section and set preview to Grey scale which shows the exact framing. It can be a bit challenging, but I'm used to it. Sometimes I record with the pink Liveview and then playback to see the framing, then I know how to frame on the pink live view.
@@ZeekEOSZ Many thanks for your reply. I tried the grey scale and it's great. I have however two more issues for which I hope you can help, although I'm sure you already answered them somewhere. 1) On the crispier, higher-detail areas, I see some green and red little spots. Is that normal? 2) I'm getting quite a lot of noise on the darker areas even though I'm shooting at ISO 100. I think there is more noise after I'm increasing the sharpness to 100. Thank you so much!
I haven't noticed any green or red spots before. Chroma noise?
With the 5D2 , you can lift the ISO up to 320 ISO, shouldn't be too bad. Faster lenses are always better, e.g. F/1.4 - 2. Leave sharpness at 0% in MLV App if you get a lot of noise. Exporting DNG from MLV App seems to have better noise output.
Zeek which of these cameras do you think would be best for magic lantern: 5d mk2, 70D or 6D? I like the sound of the 70d's dual pixel autofocus but also like the full frame of the 5d mk2 and 6d. What's your opinion.
I would choose the 5D3 above all these. The 6D could be my next choice as it has received some modern updates and new modes. Dynamic range is good too. Aliasing will be shown on these cams in 1080 mode. 70D lacks modern builds, but the DPAF is indeed nice. You don't need a monitor with it. I'd look at TH-cam Videos with it and see if you like the Magic Lantern Look on it. You could also go the EOS M with a speedbooster.
Hi Zeek, I have a question. I can't shot with 2K on 5D Mark II, my card is 160 mbt/s 32 GB lexar. Is it about the card?
thanks for you effort: please tell me if i can shoot 4k 24fps. thanks in advance
You can't. But in MLV App, you can upscale to 4K which is the next best thing 😉
Hi Zeke. Do you recommend that cinestyle be installed or do you just create your own profile?
Either are fine. I like Cinestyle. With ML Raw, picture profiles aren't baked into the file.
@@ZeekEOSZ I plan on making short films with the 5D2 and was looking for an all purpose lens. I'm finding that lens prices are much higher for full frame cameras. I keep hearing the 24-70 is the best but I like the 18-135 in your video. Which would you choose if you had to choose just 1?

Yes I have, there not much of a difference, if at all. 14 Bit is 15 or so seconds. But quality difference in isn't significant. 10 Bit is more than enough for Grading with ML Raw on the 5D2.

I don't think you can btrock the SD card. Just format on a PC/Mac. Never experienced this before. Love the Pentax. It will work fine with a generic Adapter, but with a speedbooster, the back mount will need to be modified.
hi ! would you happen to know if the EF-s lenses work because of the new crop factor via magic lantern ?
There is no "Crop mode" in the "Movie Settings" menu anymore sadly. You can get some nice formats still, but without that you can't get up to 2.8k sadly even with the 5x zoom on. The results are still fun to mess around with though.

Hi Zeek, what do you think about the difference in terms of resolution and quality between 1880×1058 (Full HD) and the crop solutions (2K, 2.5K... 2.8k...). I heard that if you use the crop factor you're using just a small part of the sensor, does this decrease the resolution and quality of the image? Let's put it in the easy way: according to you is the full hd raw a better choice in spite of the higher raw definition solutions on the 5D2?
HD Raw is a good choice yes. Aliasing can become an issue though depending on the lens. I like vintage glass, they work quite good.
Higher resolutions can be a bit sketchy to use, but the results are darn good. HD Raw is good enough 👍
@@ZeekEOSZ Thanks a lot. I made a test yesterday. Full HD worked perfectly, 2.3K instead gave me this kind of problem. www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19092.0 (pink and green frames sometimes, and a bit jello effect). Any idea of what could be the reason?
@@pierpaolodemejo933 Good to hear! The pink stuff are dropped frames when the camera Performa under pressure. Disabling Audio and global draw can help, as well as selecting 10 Bit.
@@ZeekEOSZ Gosh, you know everything! :D I've just tested what you said and 2.3k mode works much better. Some drops still remain but much less then before. My conclusion is the same of yours I guess: Full HD is more stable and the better solution if you need to shoot a short movie or stuff like that
Great Content Zeek. I have the 5d Mark ii and the EOS M2 and magic lantern works great. My only problem is my 5d mark ii autofocus doesn’t work.
Is the autofocus not available on the 5d mark ii? I use Canon lenses and 3rd party EF lenses and with a speedbooster the autofocus works perfect on EosM2.
?
hi Zeek, I cannot make video lasting more than 12 mins. on my 5D Mark II. Is there a way to obtain a longer recording using magic lantern?
Wait you are using an EFS lens on a full frame? Is the mount the only difference?
