Title: I need help fast!!!
Post by: Octavio79 on June 06, 2014, 01:15:41 AM
Ok so I tried to reinstall ML on my Canon 5D Mark III and for some reason my camera just won't take it anymore. I've used ML for a couple years, maybe even longer and I've never had a problem. But for some reason I can't make it work on my camera. I finally gave up and decided to uninstall and return the new firmware but it just won't let me. What do I do now?  :-\

You could start by explaining what the actual problem is that you're seeing. Phrases like "my camera just won't take it anymore", "I can't make it work" and "it just won't let me" provide no useful information at all. http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise (http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise)

Sorry I've been in the military too long and I got a little used to having to shorten our sentences due to enemy fire lol. Anyways, ML just won't work anymore. I get as far as the little smily face :) and ML won't open by pressing the trash button. So I tried turning it on and off and that wasn't working. I finally gave up and decided just to uninstall it but I couldn't even format the card anymore. After a while of troubleshooting I just installed the newest firmware back on and that worked. Recently I just purchased the new Blackmagic 4k so I'll just play with that camera until there is a more stable build that can be used in production shoots. Thank you though.
