>So, comparable to mine with 8940 shots only!

How do you know? Did you send the camera to CPS? The Imagenumber is no real proof

Is someone still developing on the 5DC?    We can't wait for the beta5

@CMV
There is no known issue with writingspeed for the V1.1.1. It could be that your CF-Card needs to get formattet or replaced. The V1.1.1 just fixed a problem with cards >8GB. It *could* be that there is a new protocoll active which your Card doesn't like... but you're the first I've heard of.

Hi all again, After all this news hot moves on RAW Recording... i'm wandering if 14bit Still pics can ben enabled on my old beloved 5d classic....

There is no need for 14Bit RAW because you won't see any difference I guess. The Dynamic Range of a 5DC is about 11 EV and even the 5DM3 can't get up to full 12EV. The 14Bit RAW Engines were done on future use, only.

No, we shouldn't. We use the 5DC because we know why...

...depends on the work or the kind of copyright. There are several forms and even the GPL is a copyright, but with no real fixed time terms.

>Please do not post copyrighted material

Of course you're totally right but posting a repairmanual of a 7-8 Year old camera is not that bat at all, I guess. Other manufacturers publish this on the normal lifecycle (like lenovo thinkpad etc.). If you wan't to comply fully on the laws you can stop the whole magic lantern project because canon is not amused at it. There are already lawyers talking action agains any manipulation on the new 1Dx   ;(   

Repairing a camera should be a right to the owner!?!

I guess you will ruin this thread with thanks, but from all of us (i think) here is our thumb:     

Yeah 0xaf, nice to hear that!

The question was already answered. Magic Lantern is some kind of backpack to the original (Dry)-OS, so if the original Firmware doesn't allow it, the cam will not support it. Of course someone could try to implement it directly to the hardware, but this won't happen because the Digic II isn't fast enough and the effort would be amazingly high.

For problems in focusing with manual lenses use different matt-screens in the viewer.

@Cobarcore.
Very informative page, thanx! I guess no one ever took the ISO3200 for real because it's marked and known as pushed Mode from Canon. You even have to unlock it in the Custom Funktions. As the EOS 5D can adjust -2 e.V. while shooting, the limit would be theoretical ISO 12800 (ISO 3200, -2ev... then push 2 e.v. in Post Processing) The result would be mostly unusable.

Did you got more information on the 1/3 e.v. steps between lower ISOs, f.e. ISO 160, 320, 500, 640? Are those only the next lower step + in camera processing? Or are they "real" modes?

@NanoMad
>Most ISO modes are digitally touched anyway. The true analog ISOs are a multiple of something between the 100 and 160 as a1ex
>and other people discovered

DxoMark measures this exactly. The Canon 5D is at least really close to the shown values, unlike other cams.  http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Database/Canon/EOS-5D#measuretabs-1

I also think ISO1600 is a native ISO. Otherwise the "Pushed" modes with "L" or "H" wouldn't be marked this way.

@COUTTS
Would you keep on doing if there would be a filled paypalaccount for getting a used 5DC from (f.e.) ebay?   

@Valadorf

We don't blame anyone doing software for free. How could we? We love coutts!! We just want him to know that we'd miss him.  Your move to the 5DM2 is your own decision, but the attitude "I don't own a 5D Classic anymore, so I don't care about the ML5DC" is not a nice sign. I think most of us could do the same step but we love the fullframe 12MP and that's the reason we would like to advance the 5D. And 7D.... who needs a cropped cam? 

>I'm getting the EOS M here in a few weeks, so once that comes I will be diverting my time to porting ML to that instead of the 5dc.

Nooooooooo!     

Please don't leave us for good. We need you! By the way, does the 5DC Port will be merged into the maintrunk of ML? Of course with less functionality...

[any]

F.y.i.: 04302055xx works like a charme. I really, really like the Idea for locking up the mirror on a button. But maybe it would be more
versatile to get any CustomFunktion an a Button, so we could assign it with Mirrorlookup or different functions from this menu.

Thumbs up, again!

I heard there are 2 different kinds of 5D around. The first one had a very poor LCD-Screen which was later replaced by another one (same specs but better). For example described in here (http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-5d-mki-with-bad-lcd-display-what-to-do-t16925.html. It could be that there were some minor internal changed made after replacing the screen. This is just an idea, don't know if it's related to your problem with booting on old or new devices.

For the Shuttercountvalue-Topic:   Wouldn't it be possible to dump the whole memory, make a picture, dump again and compare both dumped images? There should be one register altered, but this is just one guess.

Thanx for the effort! The first 5D is still a great camera with unmatched T-Stops and lowlight abilities... so this is definately an interesting step for some of us. Is there any Beta-Firmware available for testing or can we just use the normal trumk (for 60D etc.)?
