Usually 2-3 is enough to bring something the size of a small model into focus. There’s also more advanced options like setting it to the rack focus range. It’s really simple.You focus, choose how many pictures in front and behind, the steps between each picture, and that’s it. What I was looking for in the first place. You can find the documentation on them in the User Guide. I’ve linked each of my headings to theirs to make it easier. It’s to the point that I don’t get why Canon doesn’t program some of this stuff in.Īnyways, here are some of my favorite ML features. Once you have it installed it can be a bit glitchy and confusing, but even thought it couldn’t do much about the video in my case, some of the other things it can do are incredibly useful. The instructions are pretty clear, if they’re not there’s plenty of videos out there detailing the process.
Read the warnings and check your current firmware is the right one.

Instructions on how to install it are here. If the nightly build failed on your model like mine, click Show Older Builds, then scroll down and find one that doesn’t say (failed). Installingįirst check if your model is supported and what is supported, for example Audio Controls are not supported on mine. It was also much easier to install than I anticipated. Turns out it had a focus stacking feature. Well I searched around some more because I was also interested in finding if there was some way to improve the video (there isn’t, or at least it’s not noticeable), and magic lantern came up. It’s not, but apparently there were other programs that could do this very thing.
#MAGIC LANTERN CANON EOS 1100D SOFTWARE#
My mind was already working away in the background suggesting all kinds of complex jigs, when I finally thought I should probably do a Google search to see if this is possible with the Canon software that lets you control the camera from your computer. It worked better, but there was no way to adjust it the same every single time the way I needed. Now that I had a tripod I thought I’d test it again. I’d come up with the idea of taking several pictures at different focuses (focus stacking, though I didn’t know this was an actual thing that had a name) but that hadn’t worked well without a tripod. I really like macro photography and I’m also interested in doing small stop motion animations with the ship models I plan to build so I was looking up ways to increase the depth of field (increasing the depth of field is what makes them not look like miniatures). Lately though I’ve been wanting to push the limits on my camera It’s been broken in, I know more about photography, and I’ve finally gotten some vital accessories like a tripod and a remote control.
I had heard about magic lantern but I was too afraid to break something so I never got it and eventually forgot about it. When I first got my camera I knew next to zero about photography.
