Ok so I played with 7D this morning... I need to find out how to boot/save the master fir.. but as what's good:

*FPS override works (why disabled?)
*Display filters - work, need sync on something

Bad:
HDMI/Headphone stuff on the master
all ADTG/CMOS on the master

For fps being disabled, see this http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3974.msg21780#msg21780

I already answered that question in the other thread, but here once again


"download the following two files:

http://pel.hu/ML/autoexec.bin
http://pel.hu/ML/7D_203.sym  (right klick and save link)

find those two files in the ML folder on your CF card and replace them.

you will find the burst in the "shoot" tab.

good luck"

Ah my bad.   I assumed that the latest build retrieved using EOSCard.exe would have included that.

All working fine now

Cheers

Ok I hate to do this, but I'm going to ask a Noob question that others have also asked, but answers have yet to be provided that can help me.

Where the heck is the Silent Burst Sub menu.  Have looked through every menu under SHOOT, but can't find it. Have I got to enable something first or do I have to add an extra module, if so, where can I get it?

For info, I loaded ML onto my bootable 7D using Pelicans 1.38b EOSCard (August 3rd).   Dual ISO and File manager modules load ok.

thanks binky38, thanks beej!
that is a workaround for the problem.
its not a "real fix" yet.
but at least we now have a chance to recover from that problem

Thanks g3gg0 glad I could help out in a very small way. Can't wait for Alpha 2 

You and the rest of the ML team deserve all of the credit you get.

Keep up the good work

Hi g3gg0

I think I may have had some success in making the camera shutdown at any shutter speed however it does deviate from your initial instructions  (hope this won't be a problem).

Following the initial instructions
Set shutter speed to 2"
Take photo using the eos utility and wait for the image to be transferred to the pc
Open card door

Camera doesn't shutdown and usb connection is still alive

With slight modification to the instructions
Set shutter speed to 2"
Take photo using the eos utility and wait for the image to be transferred to the pc
hover over the eos utility shutter button (camera performs exposure and focus)  but do not press the button
Open card door

Camera shuts down every time.


Now hopefully if you can simulate the additional step within ML then the camera might shutdown.

Not sure if this helps, but if Live View mode is activated, the camera always shuts down  (in my experience anyway)

[Edit]
Actually this isn't right.   The info screen is blacked out and the mirror drops, but I believe the camera is still powered up as the USB connection isn't dropped.

I'll keep looking

[make it show the info screen]

thats the reason why i said, make it show the info screen
if you press INFO 3 times, you get the info screen.
it will stay displayed until you really powered off the camera.

it will drain your battery if you dont power off correctly.

Hmm  I blame the initial instructions

ok slightly confusing instructions.

I'm assuming we're taking ML out of the equation for these tests.

My experience is as follows

After remotely taking photos at various shutter speeds and then opening the door, powers down the camera and disconnects it from the pc. 

After closing the door it powers up again and reconnects

In fact opening the door up at any point with the dial in any position powers down the camera disconnects it from the pc

[edit]
After  changing my Auto Power Off setting from 1 min to off, I now get a completely different behaviour.  My camera no longer disconnects from the pc until it is physically switched off.

Putting it back to 1 min hasn't reverted it back either.  It stays connected

And what is strange now, is even with the camera switched off, plugging in the usb cable starts the eos utility up.  only removing and reinserting the battery stops this behaviour

Wow

Do you guys NEVER think that people actually read the instructions?

I am well aware that pressing the SET button stops ML from loading.

I did say 'call me crazy' and after all, it's just a simple question in the General Help sub forum

I'm currently using the 7D ML Alpha.

Call me crazy, but I quite like the idea of installing ML only when I need it.   It installs so quickly, it is really no problem.

So the question is,

Is it possible to run it this way (without auto boot assuming that issue gets resolved) when we get the final release

Assuming that this forum is aimed at the public to help test this Alpha release, it would be handy if there was a single page on this forum that detailed

a) what functions are and are not (partially/fully) implemented in the current release
b) a list of issues that have been identified and acknowledged to date. (Hopefully updated regularly)

I realise we can get this info over several pages, I just thought it might help us all out

Noticed a couple of things on the Focus menu

  1)   Trap focus does not have the continuous option  (Should this be available yet ?)

  2)  "Your Lens did not report focal distance" is always displayed.   I have tested this with 2 lenses so far   15-85  and 70-200 II
