Fred Miranda Online Admin Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Magic Lantern 3rd alpha for 5D Mark III available If you shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III, download the third alpha version. This is a small update, mostly with bug fixes and a few handy tweaks. New or improved features: Card test at startup Histogram and waveform moved to bottom New experimental display for focus peaking (extreme sharpness) 16:9 bars for anamorphic preview Focus box moves faster (not yet customizable) After taking a picture and pressing Zoom In right away, you can scroll through pictures Saturation boost when adjusting white balance Warnings for bad settings (e.g. if you set picture quality to JPEG instead of RAW by mistake) Dim the red LED while recording (make it less distracting) Release notes | Free download link Nov 27, 2012 at 11:44 PM

That said ML adds a lot of great usability features, at least some of which surely should have been in the camera in the first place. Nov 28, 2012 at 12:34 AM

In addition. If you hit the trashcan button while in video mode then it brings up its own special menu system. Nov 28, 2012 at 01:47 AM

Because of the MBA/Marketing types. If they wanted that in there it would be in there. Have no doubt that the Canon engineers can do this themselves and probably want to, many an engineer is greatly frustrated by the decisions of his design team non-engineer boss.

Ask any engineer/designer/creator. Doesn't matter what the field is. Nov 29, 2012 at 10:47 PM

racoll Offline • • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Magic Lantern 3rd alpha for 5D Mark III available Slightly off-topic but somewhat related, can anyone provide me with the link to the Magic Lantern download for the 7D? I remember reading about it on this forum but not knowing much about Magic Lantern (I thought that it was a reference to the guide books!), I didn't take it too seriously. How good are these and how reliable are they? Andy Nov 30, 2012 at 12:30 AM

rotorwash4944 Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Magic Lantern 3rd alpha for 5D Mark III available I have the same question... I believe there is a version for my 60D? This might be a silly question, but do I risk voiding my warranty, or worse, frying my chip? Nov 30, 2012 at 03:11 AM

akivisuals Online • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Magic Lantern 3rd alpha for 5D Mark III available I won't say it's impossible to mess up your camera but.... It is supposed to be pretty stable. I use it on my 5D2 and 60D all the time. ML will occasionally do funky stuff like lock up my cameras but I just remove the battery, restart and I'm usually good to go unless the camera doesn't like that specific card with ML. Once with an earlier version of ML, my 5D2 got screwed up a bit and the back LCD didn't go back to normal for a while. It scared me enough to where I didn't load up ML until the newest, stable version came out. That said, I LOVE ML. It's the best addition to the Canon firmware I've used and a Godsend for shooting video! Nov 30, 2012 at 07:59 AM

pompo Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Magic Lantern 3rd alpha for 5D Mark III available yes, it actually boots and starts from your memory card it is not permanent on the body you are using Nov 30, 2012 at 06:46 PM
