I recently installed ML 2.3 on my 5D Mk II and have been having a bad experience because I have been playing with it non-stop for the past week instead of  doing other things I should be doing.   

If that was bad enough, I also installed the latest "Nightly build" so I can play with Dot Tune and MicroAdjust all my lenses.

SWEET. That is what I did. dot Tune automation is brilliant.

Works for me too. Running the latest nightly build on my 5d2 with Eye-Fi pro x2 8gb card in a SD to CF adapter. Everything works beautifully.

Alex, thankyou for your time in developing.

[So basically never sell your 5Dc!]

Hey everyone. I have upgraded from my 5Dc to a 5D2 and the full Magic Lantern is amazing! All the features with liveview. It is just incredible how much stuff you can control with focus trapping and precise ISO and the movie stuff is just overkill!

But however with all the new technology in the 5D2, I personally think that the image quality straight out of the camera (silky smoothness) is a bit better on a 5Dc.

I am so tempted to buy another 5Dc, but I will be happy with my 5D2 with liveview (which I really am enjoying for focus control).

So basically never sell your 5Dc!

What is the legality of the Magic Lantern firmware from Canon's point of view?

Am I breaking the law by installing ML on my Canon 5DC, or is it the software devs who might get in trouble.

With the recent talk of firmware hacking the Canon 1Dx into a 1Dc, Canon's lawyers are on red alert on the rumours that Magic Lantern are working on this.

Who is breaking intellectual property law? The creator or the user?

I really don't know, can anyone say?

As the title reads I have the Canon 5D classic service manual in pdf.



Does anyone need it, there is a public website that you can download it from.

You guys are the best for working so late on this. Thankyou.

Good to hear 0xAF. Thanks for your time.

Thunderstorm is great.

I would like to make a timelapse, but to put on a couple of thousand shots on the shutter is a sacrfice.

Can you leave the mirror up and shutter open to take one second of video every thirty seconds? Is that possible?

Coutts, I just saw the photos you posted of your disassembled 5Dc. Did you try putting it back together? It reminds me of that movie, Short Circuit. "No disassemble Number Five! "! "Malfunction. Need input." "Re-asessemble Number 5Dc".
Hope you get a new 5Dc donor soon.

Just checking some of the last photos, do you think some of that slight burning/melting was caused by a loop in the ML firmware. This mod does add new features, but potentially increase heat stress on circuit the system?

To all the requests asking about the shutter count feature. Do you really want to know when your 5Dc might die?
It is like asking the doctor, how many heartbeats do I have left...will I die soon?

Enjoy your shutter clicks while you can. Tommorow your camera might look like Coutts!

Click, click, snap, crackle and pop.

I have to say that after reading all these threads, it is such bad luck that Coutts camera gave up on him and all of us.
I hope that this does not stop the development of this creative mod. I wish Coutts and the team at MagicLantern all the best. The future really is defined by homebrew. Long live homebrew.
