Yes, it stopped working after I changed to manual m43 lens. But changing back to EF didn't help.

When it stop working you have to do the card and battery pull procedure to get it back to work

The Eye-fy card setup seems to depend on the fact the is a lens or not attached to the body
I now run ML only with a lens attached an it is fine
My lenses have an updatable fw

Note : only the 8Gb Pro card works The 16 does not

Amazing update! Thank you so much!
Tried to load from Eye-Fi card, worked 1 time only. Next were black screen. Only pulling Eye-Fi card helped.

Otherwise it's megacool. Anamorphic display is WOW.

On the Magic Window Zoom box with Split screen option, the 2 split screen windows do not move to a non splitted image when on focus. this does not seem normal and may be a bug? I know that we have discussed that one earlier, but I am not sure I understood your response about the fact that these feature is not exactly working like a stigmometer.

Thank you

Thanks Alex for Alpha2
I could load it on my (good) EyeFi card and everything went well with WiFi and ML working
I love focus peeking in gray scale
I have tried magic windows for pictures and all its settings but it seems quite buggy, maybe I am doing something wrong
I cannot get the 2 windows to align when focused and the other settings do not seem to work

Thanks again for your hard work

I got my EyeWiFi card to work with the Alpha!

I did that with a 5D3 and the 40mm 2.8 attached
I mention that as the lens FW adds one step to the FW upgrade (do not know if it is important so)

Here is what I had to do
1- Format with low level the eyefi card in the camera
2- Eject the card and plug it in my mac
3- Put the ML alpha in root directory, and eject

4-Then try to load the FW from the card in the camera
I get a black screen then nothing- no red light
5- Wait 5 to 10s  and then remove battery
6- Open card door and remove card
7- Plug card back in
8- Put Battery back
9- Get a message that the FW is upgrading with red lamp blinking (activity)
10-Push delete and see ML Alpha welcome page

if step 8 still leaves you with a black screen and nothing, leave the card out on step 7

Turn off camera
Turn on camera
Now the upgrade process to load ML works as in a regular card
And
EyeFi function is operational

I tried this with both 8G and 16G EyeFi card, could only get the 8Gb to work, the 16G gives me the black screen all the time

The lock happened randomly twice since I have the camera and this was before loading ML
Since I have the ML alpha this did not happened again

Thanks for your hard work!

Looking forward to EyeFi compatibility, grey live display for focus peek and magic zoom

You do not need ML to get lock up on 5D3, the vanilia FW does it by itself very well :-)

I could load the alpha flawlessly, I like the focus peek a lot, particularly with my TS lens or my large aperture lenses! looking forward to get the grey scale!
Also I am a EyeFi user and would love to put ML on it, it sure does not like to boot from it :-)

Thank you
