Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any significant improvements to the 7D ML that have happened over the last year and a half? I am running a build from October 2014 and because it can run raw w/ audio and is rock solid I am hesitant to update, but I do not know if there have been any image quality improvements or any other must-haves.

I've looked at the last several pages here and in other places but there is so much discussion it's hard to pin down exactly where the software sits right now.

Thanks!

You installed Canon's firmware 2.0.3: Link found in step 2?
If not: Redo

Format card in cardreader, insert into cam, format here again, reinsert into cardreader again, copy expanded nightly contents there (AUTOEXEC.BIN, ML directory, FIR-file) and reinsert into cam and run firmware update.
If it doesn't work, reset cam to factory defaults including Fn settings, switch to M, redo firmware update with ML's FIR file.

Thank you Walter. Once I formatted the CF card on my computer (and not a quick format) it worked just fine.

I'm currently trying to jump into ML and having a problem just getting the firmware onto my camera.

• I have updated the 7d to the correct Canon firmware.
• I have followed the steps here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9848.0 (and tried a few different nightly builds)

My camera allows me to select the option for loading a new firmware, the firmware update screen flashes for a moment and then I just get black. Top screen still works and responds to inputs but the rest of the camera is unresponsive. I have to remove the battery to get it back to normal - once I do the camera functions fine on the standard Canon firmware.

I have never had ML on this camera. I have spent the last couple days reading what I can here but the information is so scattered around I guess I must have missed something. Anyone have any advice? And once this is installed, will I be able to record raw or do I have to install some other module separately?
