Hello,
I am aware that removing the battery or SD card before magic lantern goes into standby could cause corruption, and brick the camera. Usually it will detect when you open the card door or the battery door and it will flash the led when its safe to remove the battery/card. If I am using an external battery however, that door is removed, and it can no longer tell when I am about to remove the battery. To mitigate this, I just pop open the SD card slot, and wait for the LED, and then I take out the battery. But what if I lend my camera to someone, or they pick it up without permission and remove the battery? What do I do then? Or am I just crazy and it really won't do any harm.
Thoughts?
