Title: 5d mk3 and 1.2.3 firmware problem
Post by: pianogirl on January 17, 2014, 12:06:47 AM
Hi Friends!

I'm looking for some good tutorial for 5d mk3 with firmware 1.2.3. How I can install ML on it?

I would like to use my CF 128GB Transcend card, but should I firstly use SD up to 16GB? Is it really like this?
And what to do if I need to use my 128GB CF card? - Should I also add ML files on it?
Please help me. I'm brand new user.

You can't run ML on 1.2.3, you have to roll the camera back to 1.1.3 first.

The rest of the instructions are here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5520.0  Take special note of the comments on the bootflag before deciding whether to proceed.

Should I use bootflag?
Is there any safe idea to install ML?

Now that ML is available also for 1.2.3, can someone please explain how to install it over the previous version ?

Thanks

Installation:
1) Format the card from the camera.
2) Make sure you are running Canon firmware 1.2.3 (http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_5D_Mark_III.aspx?type=download&page=1).
3) Copy ML files on the card and run Firmware Update.
