From Magic lantern forum a1ex: It's out! Not alpha, not beta, nor zeta, just a bleeding edge that happens to work for me. It might work for you or it might not. (note that my standards are fairly high, so what I call bleeding edge, others may call semi-stable or whatever) - bootflag issue solved! - installation is really easy (simply unzip the files on the card, update firmware and you are ready to go) - uninstallation is equally easy (update firmware and follow the instructions) Installation: 1) Format the card from the camera. 2) Make sure you are running Canon firmware 1.2.3. 3) Copy ML files on the card and run Firmware Update. Uninstallation: 1) Run Firmware Update from your ML card. 2) Follow the instructions. What's hot: - bootflag issue solved! (p.s. some bloggers got it wrong, you still enable it in the camera, but you can disable it by uninstalling) - installation is really easy (simply unzip the files on the card, update firmware and you are ready to go) - uninstallation is equally easy (update firmware and follow the instructions) - EosCard is now optional - ML restores itself after formatting the card (man, that komputerbay card is fast!) - you may install on any card combination you may think of. What's not: - unlike most firmware updates which fix minor things, this one changed a LOT, especially on the display side (for example, LiveView is now quad-buffered and most of the display registers were changed). - watch out for corrupted frames (from my limited testing, I'm not fully convinced the issue is fully resolved on 1.2.3 => for serious video use, please consider staying on 1.1.3) - fast zebras not working, but can be fixed - no full-screen magic zoom (I never used it anyway, but was nice) - no brightness/contrast/saturation adjutments (registers changed) - HDMI issues (possibly worse than 113, didn't try yet) - no documentation (yet). For photo use (raw overlays, ETTR and so on) it should be just fine (that's how I use it). Source code: - the 5D3-123 branch in the main repository. - feel free to merge it locally with unified or experimental branches to get a sneak peek for the future updates. - I'll merge it to unified when I'll be confident it's at least as good as the 1.1.3 branch (based on your feedback). Thanks to: - chris_overseas for initial porting and testing - horshack for advice about safely toggling the bootflag - Audionut for early builds and support in the early porting thread - marekk, pompeiisneaks, jpaana, rufustfirefly, sinubis and others for early feedback and small fixes - mk11174 for getting the 700D port in sync in this one - everyone else who volunteeres their time to make a great community project. Final notes: - check nightly builds often and stay up to date! I'll do my best to make sure there are no critical issues in the nightly builds. - there are quirks and bugs waiting to be fixed (please report them properly, with details on how to reproduce). - grab the ARM toolchain and start hacking! (start with something easy or just tweak/fix whatever you find interesting). - If anything goes wrong, we don't pay for repairs. Use Magic Lantern at your own risk! coming soon: a lot of stuff, including a real sensor upgrade, a C compiler that runs on your camera and other geeky stuff like this http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11017.msg106777#msg106777
