I put in a non-ML formatted card and started getting crazy glitches and no live view.
Images made with this card looks like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigshave/9010739603/
- I tried reverting back to original canon firmware(s) but the camera no longer detects and .fir files on the CF card.
- I tried different CF cards.
- Magic Lantern does not boot anymore.
- "Update file cannot be found. Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again." is what i get every time I try to install any firmware.
- Also get a busy warning on the camera if I put into different modes like full-auto.
Last time it my camera was working I used:
- ML nightly build May 19, 2013
- Raw camera Module
Does anyone know what I should try next?
Thanks,
Hi.
Have you tried the usual stuff like leaving the battery and card out of the camera for a few hours?
Hey thanks,
How long? I read someone left it out for 1day 1/2 and it was fine. I just tried it now, it's been out for 12 hours, but still no luck.
Format the card from the camera.
Also, note that reinstalling Canon firmware will not remove ML.
Yes, that was one of the first things I tried, still nothing. I need to figure it out something ASAP, as I need the camera for work.
Last video I shot before my camera went out of commission...
Well, probably shooting RAW video overheats some component from the camera and eventually kills it. Just remember, those cameras although they support high writing speeds to the memory card, they were never meant to support writing at these kinds of speed for long periods of time, like is done when shooting RAW videos.
This may be true, but I only shot twice with raw settings. It's hard to believe that a ton of people aren't having this happen if it's the raw video feature causing the problem. To me it seems the firmware program is corrupt and won't detect the .fir file.
I am having identical problems to you with my 5D2, except I never shot RAW on my camera. Did you ever find a solution?
a bit too late, but still has to be answered:

wait... you are talking about it as if it would cause problems?
my experience is different from yours.
the highest power dissipation comes from live view mode.
sensor, CPU and ADCs consume the most power on these cameras.
writing to flash is just consuming 50mA which is not even worth mentioning.

Shooting H.264 makes the 5Dmkii get hot... i cant see RAW been the problem..

Have you reset camera to default in menu and cleared all settings?
I can confirm this is real. Just happen to mine. Went to beach and shot in camera video only (not raw). Came back today and it is exactly what the OP describes.
Even worse, in Review Display, something is wrong with the screen. However not in Menu Display
