Thank you Levas.

The following 3 lines do confuse me though:

Make sure you are running the right Canon firmware version, specified on the download page
You can check your firmware version by setting your mode dial to Manual (M) and looking in the Canon menu.
Nothing bad will happen if you try to run ML on a different firmware version - the card LED will start blinking and you'll have to take the battery out. Magic Lantern checks firmware version before attempting to run.

Does that mean I have to change my camera Firmware version from 1.1.6 backwards to 1.1.3 for it to install? Or is it simply telling me that with 1.1.6, when the LED starts blinking, I remove the battery, put it back, and the install will occur?

Thank you.

Hi Folks

I am new to the ML forum, but from some experience of other forums, it seems that people ask a question via a new thread, ans often get told to look at some other thread previously posted, and then other times, someone asks a question within an established thread, and get told off for hijacking the thread.  So, my apologise if I am one of the above, and I hope I am asking in the right place.................

I have been a Canon user for some 30 years, and yesterday spashed out and upgraded from a 50D to the 6D 

I have heard of ML for a long time but as yet never gotten round to trying it.

My issue is 2 fold:

1: I have that annoying issue with the GPS, remaining on and draining the battery, so ML is the answer as I believe you can use ML to overcome that and trun GPS off properley when turning the 6D off.

2: My new 6D is of course pre loaded with Firmware 1.1.6.   A: Is it now reasonable to believe that using ML with the Firmware 1.1.6 is OK  B: From what is said on the ML downloads page for the 6D download (Make sure you are running Canon firmware 1.1.3. (not latest!)) I am assuming that maybe there is a different file to download, so please can someone give me the 'easy' guide as to what I need to do to install this ML for 6D'.
