I finally got my T2I updated and Magic Lantern installed! Now I need advice from all you who have experience with it. Please tell me what to do and what not to do with it. I know I won't use much of it , for lack of knowledge. I will be doing some video and need advice on what is possible to improve it with Magic Lantern etc. Thanks to all in advance.

1. Try out Dual ISO. Activate the module and try ISO 100/800 or ISO 100/1600. Convert the CR2 to DNG via Barracuda https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9102.0

2. Raw histogram. The raw histogram only works the seconds after you took the picture. Doesn't work in playback mode. https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12096.0

3. Focus stacking. Youtube with subtitle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VuQPbzH7E8

4. About raw video. Your 550D has a slow write speed, around 21MB/s. I don't think you can overclock it. With 6D I can go from 43MB/s to 71MB/s. One guy has destroyed his card after that.
