Magic zoom doesn't work while recording video with latest Oct-3-2017 70d build...  It works fine when not recording.

Hi! I have a little problem with my camera and ML 70D fw 1.1.2 (beta 4a) ... frequently used to control EOS UTILITY wifi in the camera for astro sessions .... but when I activate the wifi and I try to take a pictures, camera freezes and shows several errors, once again error 70 error 80 sometimes freezes and I have to remove the battery to restore it anyway ... someone noticed the same problem? or is there any solution? thanks for any replies. Roberto.

You hit famous err80 on 70D, it's main motherboard, probably bad soldering, after LiveView or Video sessions heat might trigger the fault until camera doesn't work anymore. Canon doesn't recognize their fault except for Brazil where I sent mine to a friend there for free repair.
Elsewhere it costs between 400 and 500 dollars. There are lots of users complaining and I'm seriously considering abandoning the brand.
