There is no Q button on the 50D, so whenever you see a reference to the Q button, press the FUNC button at the bottom of the back of the camera, which is right next to the On/Off switch.

Thus you need to make sure “Live View” is enabled. Magic Lantern thus considers “Live View,” the functionality in the Canon camera that displays the image in the display screen on the back of the camera, to be movie mode. Canon didn’t sell the 50D with video enabled, so there is no dedicated “movie mode” on the mode dial on the top-left of the camera.Check out the User Guide for a full list of all the features Magic Lantern has to offer as well as their locations in the Magic Lantern menu. Now that you have Magic Lantern installed, you will need to familiarize yourself with the settings and capabilities of Magic Lantern.


In this post, I’m going to go through setting up Magic Lantern to enable raw recording and what you need to do to be able to actually shoot full 1920×1080 HD raw video. In my previous post, I went through the step by step details of installing raw video with the Magic Lantern hack on the Canon 50D.
