GlomB. If you discover the URL, then please let me know because I cannot get the overlays to work at all with Alpha6. Asked the same question you did in the 70D camera-specific forum but haven't gotten a response yet...I just asked. Will do the same for you if I get a lead.

Walter. Yes. I turned the modules on.

Can anybody point me to the A5b download please? The only address I have for Magic Lantern for the 70D is the first post in this camera-specific forum. And the ML main page download link points to the forums.

Thanks

Patrick.

I installed all the modules except Arkanoid, which was great on the Mac back in the day but I doubt it's much fun playing on the camera.

I did turn the camera off and on after installing the modules. In fact, I turned the camera off multiple times since this is the first thing my company IT help desk tells me to do every time I call...even when I have forgotten my password. 

I do have Global Draw turned on, and I have also turned on focus peaking, zebras and histogram on all 4 display presets.

I have uninstalled it but I can reinstall it and take screenshots of the Global Draw page and the preset page if that would even help.

If it helps, I am using the Alpha6 A version. I just bought my camera 2 weeks ago in Dallas and the serial number starts with a 2 if that means anything to anybody.

Thanks for your patience and suggestions.

Yes I have tried that a dozen of times When I press info consecutive, it will briefly display DISP 0, DISP 1, DISP 2, DISP 3 in top left corner of the screen and then disappear.  What remains is just a rectangular box.

Just got the 70D about two weeks after owning a 40 for the past five years and then the 10D which I bought back in 2003 or so.

Anyway, I am interested in ML mainly for the focus peaking and zebras; however, after successfully installing it and loading the modiules and turning on focus peaking in Display 2 and Display 3, and then setting it so it can run 4 display configuration.

I can't the overlays or the grid or anything that resembles the ML overlay in the user guide to appear on my viewfinder in Live Mode. Tried shooting stills in AV, TV and P mode and nada/nothing. I know some of ML's functionality is working because I adjusted the Kelvin in the WB to make the images warmer and cooler. But no joy with the overlays. I hit info multiple times and have toggle between live mode and viewfinder mode. Restarted and nothing.

Peak focusing is really what I am most interested in because I have a Lomograpjy Petzval 85mm f2,2 that is manual focus and it is a pain to get the focus tact sharp in the stills that I am taking. I also have a Canon 50mm 1.2 that is autofocus and when shot wide open, it is also a chore to get the eyes sharp.  I thought the peak focusing would be helpful for both lenses but I can't get the overlays to appear.

Must've watched 10 videos on ML and the overlays but I am stuck.

Any advice?
