If its under warranty, send back to Canon service center (peremba square) else might wanna consider get another lens. This is famous problem or 18-55 kit lens' ribbon

This picture looks like telling thunderstorm is coming (or i believe your original intention is to show case the tower ?)

not under warranty anymore.. so, not worth it to send service? the service cost almost the same / higher than buying new lens?

yes

time to upgrade

Just installed Magic Lantern on the EOS M. The focus peaking is not that great. The zoom box for focusing while recording seems more useful. I couldn't find anything to get 1080p60 which is what I wanted. I think I found the function to remove the 29 min time record limit. Have not tried Raw video yet because I think I read I'm suppose to have a really fast card for it like over 45+mb/s.

Overall not really much extra features and I feel it does make the camera body feel hotter than usual.

Wanting to get 1080p60. Maybe I have to be brave and ML the 650D.

Got one myself and I noticed it running hotter and battery goes down faster with ML too.

I'm not sure if it's cos of the focus-by-wire mechanism of the STM lenses, it seems a bit difficult to land on the peak confidently. Gotta go back and forth a few times. Peaking while in the ML zoom box is a bit hard to see as well. Any idea how to increase the resolution of the zoom box?

I agree ML doesn't seem to bring much to the table for the M but I just got the camera and haven't had a chance to field test it yet. Probably leave it on until I test it out properly.

You installed the nightly build? ... wait I think EOS M only has the nightly build version.
The nightly build does drain more battery than the stable versions.

1080p 60 fps is possible on ML 650D ?
Last I checked it's not really 1080p but somewhere in between 720p and 1080p.

Focus peaking isn't useful for wide aperture lens. More often than not, it tricked me to the wrong focus.
Don't think it's possible to increase zoom box resolution. Need to zoom in manually. If you manage to find an alternative/way, please share it here.

Yeah nightly. Mine is 8 Oct and so far never kena shutterbug with the 18-55mm *touchwood*

Found an alternative that I just posted in dpreview forums (edit: being moderated so not there yet). If you're using MF only, you can enable liveview zoom on halfshutter to 10x through the "Liveview zoom tweaks" on Magic Lantern. But no peaking/edge detection while doing this.

Hmmm interesting, thanks for sharing.
Only available on nightly ?

I mostly use the stable versions of ML.
I use the Back AF button for focusing so half pressing the shutter should help me zoom without needing to change to MF mode hmmm...

Yup eos-m supported only by nightlies.

Back AF can activate the magic zoom box. In fact I learnt to use Back AF cos my hands shake real bad on halfshutter and makes it hard to focus. Back AF handily activates the MF override fulltime =)

The liveview zoom tweak is automatically overridden when AF is on, regardless AF only or AF+MF.

Right now the magic zoom box activates when I physically try to change the lens focus ring.
Which is good, but the zoom box still has a poor resolution.

Yeah really difficult to see on the zoom box. Sometimes don't know if it's really sharp cos the edges gets blurred by the edge detect indication. But beats pressing the magnifier button I guess.

Hi sifus, I have a 600D (with SC of approx. 27500), at what price would be a good price to sell it away? I'd say the condition's still good with no fungus or dust inside.

yeahh, I have problem with mine too. It works intermittently and sometime it does focus but you can't take a shot. I was thinking of repairing it myself but not sure if there will be too much work involved. Anybody here tried repairing the unit themselves?

600D, body only will cost about RM 900 - 1100

that was a pretty good price

i sold my 550D + 18-135 that both just over warranty for 1.1k

Thanks for the info.

plan to upgrade?

Did I sound that obvious?
