Canon T1i (500D) can't get movie mode working

Post by trivington »

I can get qDashboard running, in movie mode I can capture a picture but I cannot get video recording to work. What is the correct camera setup for qD to work properly. Is there a compatibility issue with Magic Lantern?

ML is a modification of cameras firmware and can make camera incompatible with qDD.

After you enter live view do you have the button for enabling movie live view movie mode?
Can you put the camera in movie live view mode on camera? Do you have then the REC button?

I have the camera in M, in the video mode I get nowhere. In M, I have the LV, camera, timer and LV/Camera buttons showing on the left of the qD screen. when I hit the video record button on the camera, the camera lcd comes live, the LV/video button replaces the LV/camera button and is red and the video button appears on the qD screen, in orange. nothing happens if i touch the orange button. nothing happens if i hit the physical video record button on the camera, except that I lose the red LV/video button and ornage video button on the qD..until i press it again.

I can only get the qD to enter video mode if I select one of the higher level settings, choosing movie mode does nothing. I get all the buttons for video on qD but none of them activate video, nothing happens. but I can take stills.
