First test of Magic Lantern on the Canon EOS R by EOSHD and A1ex

[Andrew Reid]

My EOS R is open to a bit of experimentation!

(Summary: it works!)

[Mattias Burling]

Speechless when thinking about the possibilities.

that moment when I laugh hard in the plane and everyone looks at me...

He better turn it off quick, the plane will crash!!!

[Andrew Reid]

Can you please try installing Magic Lantern on that plane?

[tweak]

p.s. I like where this is headed. ML on EOSR could be amazing.

Norwegian Air has wifi on all flights. Slow as snails but forums are usually light on the browser.

Try enabling CineLikeD on the flight deck!

No need for CineLikeD when they've all got LOG

Maybe he will be able to shoot in full frame 4k raw? Or a fabulous 60fps raw?
This magic lantern make the Eos aboRtioncamera look interesting too!

Damn, I know it’s early but this is pretty exciting. I am going to have a little extra spending money in a few months. In the back of my mind, I was considering picking up a 5D4 while I had the money in hopes that ML would crack it eventually... maybe I’ll buy the EOS-R instead.

[Drew Allegre]

I guess the immediate question in my mind is what is the max card writing speed on the EOS R?  ML could definitely make this a much more interesting camera.  

[ajay]

I wonder however if the read-speed of the sensor is baked in. If so, you will never get rid of the severe rolling shutter.

The next firmware update “RLEDID14.FIR” was successfully loaded by the boot loader and firmware update program in the EOS R from the Canon firmware update menu. This is big news because it means Magic Lantern code was able to execute on the EOS R as normal.

WHAAAAAT NOOO WAY SO SOON OMGZ?!?!? GREAT WORK GUYS AWESOMEEEE

i didnt even have a chance to write a post about how insanely disappointing this frankencamera is  

thank you for your sacrifice Andrew!!! it is clearly God's will that you bought this camera at this very moment. worst case scenario, you could get one of those long haired guinea pigs to sail on it. theyre pretty cool

[Andrew Reid]

What a wonderful guinea pig. Imagine it squeaking as it sails off to Canon Island.

Because the plane got wifi, like 98% of planes flying in the US

Noob question,

I thought a bricked camera could always be recovered by Canon service by replacing the chip or motherboard even if you had to pay for it.

I've never had that problem with Magic Lantern, so I don't know.
