Looks like if you take out the backup battery the overheating timer resets and you have full record time

Looks like those R5/R6 even overheat when taking pictures 
Have more trust in ML on my 5D3 at the moment

Actually, it may be not true. Due to several experiments Sony overheat even faster than R5 in 4K60 mode.

Unfortunately the R6 overheats in all modes. Don't think this will ever be fixable in firmware. Better to buy a EOS R instead for video (or go the Sony route).

Will your LCD work without ML? If not, sounds like a hardware problem to me. Dead LCD panel of controller chip.

You'll have to downgrade to 1.0.2 first before you install ML.

I need some help!! My camera keeps saying "Incorrect firmware version. Expecting firmware version 1.1.1" I have 1.1.2. Will it not work with 1.1.2? And if it does still work, can you give me help with how to install it properly as I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly XD

You need 1.1.1. You can just put it on the SD card and run firmware update to downgrade to 1.1.1.
Found working 1.1.1 link on google: http://support-nz.canon.co.nz/contents/NZ/EN/0400055002.html

Has something changed for 3x crop h264 video in 3 Dec nightly? I can't find the setting anymore to enable it.
Edit: I guess I was mistaken and it was never possible on 7D...

The last nightly build will be way more stable than v2.3.
A lot has changed since then (headphone monitoring, audio controls, etc...)
Best to try it out on a spare sd card, but I promise, you will not want to get back to v2.3

Hi.

I've just saw that maybe ML is available to Canon 7d Mk2: magiclantern-Nightly.2016Aug15.7D203.zip

Is this for real? Or this build is for 7D Mk1 ?

Thanks

7d203 is magic lantern for 7d 2.03 firmware.

I would like to know if there are plans for a nightly build for 2.0.5 firmware?

If I remember correctly there were no significant changes between 2.0.3 and 2.0.5
Not sure why it is not build for 2.0.5. Maybe something internally changed that requires a lot of work?

Are you shooting at a high iso? I would not go above iso 640/800 for h264 video.

15

Camera-specific Development / Re: Canon 7D

« on: July 31, 2016, 08:54:11 AM »

Raw video or canon h264 video? For raw video (on a budget) I would go for 7d. For h264, 600D/60D if audio controls are important. Otherwise 700D. Also not a pro...

magic lantern-Nightly.2016Jan12.600D102 not work on canon EOS 600d. LED blinks continuously.

Maybe the new 2016Jan14.600D102 nightly works? But it looks like the filesize has increased significantly since 2016Jan12.600D102.
Have you tested without modules enabled? Does this also give problems?

Has the 600D less memory then the 550D? Or just less free memory because of heavier canon firmware?

I'd also like to maintain this thread. I've been around the forum for almost 3 years now and my 600D is still ticking and still running Magic Lantern. So let's DO THIS THANG!

Thanks  Same here, using ML almost 3 years now, but only recently moved to the nightly builds. And glad I did, because the new builds are just so more stable and feature-rich.
Let's kick this camera support back to life and get the new nightly builds we all love

I've created a maintainer thread for the Canon 600D, since I have two 600D camera's to test on and have been using ML for some time now.
I'm planning to be more active on the forum and hopefully this will result in new nightly builds for the 600D
