Just wanted to say... I didn't disappear.
I broke my leg a few days ago and had to redo my computer as well.

OK.
So I'll get a new card.
Once I do, what do I do?
Copy ML files to it and re-install the FW?

At the risk of sounding even more silly... then I don't know how to do it because when I choose it from the folder option and test while the light of the card reader blinks to indicate that it's running nothing happens no matter how long it lasts.

Crystaldisk:
550.9 | 533.6
218.9 | 204.4
513.9 | 507.8
32.48 | 57.60

I live in London.
If you could tell me a few of the best card readers to buy from Amazon UK I'll just buy one 8^)

Juts came back from a park.
Took pictures, made videos (with ML)...

So what should I do?
Leave it as is?
Re-install ML?

How do I prevent these problems from happening again?
Not copy from camera but get a card reader?

BTW, can you format the card via the cam or not?
Otherwise if I have hundreds to thousands of pictures how are you supposed to delete them? Go one by one and delete manually?

i also have this one

if it's any better

To be honest I had no idea it matters.
I just assumed it's simple file transferring. I wasn't aware that there are differences.

My CF card is UDMA-7 by Kingston, 64gig but like I said I didn't know the card reader needs to be "special".

I have a card reader by Anker. It's quite old I guess. Don't know what qualifies as decent so can't really answer that.

I will try some benchmarks today.

My main concern right now is how to proceed though.

OK...

Put a fully charged canon battery in.
Took a few pictures.
Made a short video (of my lamp).
Used the auto mode.

Seems to be working however...
The camera turns on and off a lot slower.

What should I do now?
Should I format the card and re-install ML?
Do I first need to reinstall Canon 2.0.3 ?
Should I check other functions first?

Yes I'm in M mode.

Since the whole thing with the batteries seems a bit odd if not straight on fishy I'm going to give them some time on the charger before attempting to use the camera.
I'll write back in 30-60 minutes with an update

OK

Something else is going on.
The battery was blinking as though it's about to die (which I thought was odd since I charged them) so I turned it off and replaced the battery and it did the same.

I just checked my batteries by plugging them to the charger and according to the charger they are all almost fully charged...
This is weird.

OK.
I simply copied ALL the files to my computer, copied the autoexec.bin file from the original folder of the ML firmware download (i.e, not the "corrupt one" from the camera) and the camera is "fully" operational now.

It's odd though... it look like the original Canon firmware only appears to have less options and although it still shows the firmware ver as: 2.0.3-mi-nightly.2 I can't access ML at all even when clicking on the trash can.

what will be the safest way to continue?
Should I wait for you to analyze the files (I will contact Alex) or can I somehow re-flash / install the original 2.0.3 or 2.0.5 Canon firmware?

BTW... when this is over I'm buying you guys a beer ;-)

No I don't have any other cameras.

So should I turn the camera off, connect the card to the computer, copy the files you sad to... and then what?

JESUS

It's ALIVE!

Yes, something is happening but I don't know what to do now.

It says:
Magic Lantern Rescue

What do I do now?
Turn it on and off?
Reinstall somehow?
Remove ML?

@ Ottoga
Nothing happens.
Absolutely nothing.
Like I said, even the power light doesn't turn on.

@Walter
I have three batteries, I charged and tried all of them.

should I re-copy the original ML installation files?

Walter:

Remove battery, remove card.
Load battery.
Insert battery. Don't insert card.
Startup cam.
Report results.

I've done these things. There is no change.
Nothing happens. The power light doesn't even turn on.


Datadogie:
I don't know.
I can't see any exe file.
I will include pictures of what files I can see on the card


hjfilmspeed... I am panicking


* I don't understand how to include pictures. I'm clicking on the "attachments and other options" but there is nothing there to include an attachment with.

Basically, I see these folders:
DCIM
MISC
ML

and the files:
AUTOEXEC.BIN
ML-SETUP.FIR

Inside the ML folder I see these folders and files:
CROPMKS
DATA
FONTS
LOGS
MODULES
SCRIPTS
SETTINGS

DOCS
README

Had ML for over a week.
Canon 7D. 2.0.3
Everything seemed ok.
This morning I made a few videos, plugged the camera (with a usb) to the computer, copied a few of the files, unplugged it and several minutes later realised that it's not turning on at all. Nothing. Nada. No lights, no nothing.

What can I do?

I did just unplug the usb without safe disconnection (though I've never done that in my life and nothing ever happened before).

Please help me.

Hi.
I downloaded and installed ML a few hours ago and have been trying to find videos that elaborate how to use it and the menu for the 7D.
I saw just now that the nightly version has the same date as today. I don't know if I was lucky enough to download and install the same day it was released or whether that's always like that?

Anyway, I tried to make a time lapse through my window and then without thinking about it for formatted the card! It did say that it re-installed ML automatically and it does work but out of curiosity I checked the files and folders that are now on the card compared to the files you download from the website and they are not the same and more so when I hover on an option and click the info button it brings a message that says that I don't have help files.

Did I screw up?
Should I re-install ML and if so how?
How do I put the help files or whatever other files I'm missing and modules, etc?

And since I'm asking all these questions... is there a place / link / video that explains everything for this nightly for the Canon 7D ?

Thank you for your help

Hello,
I've only heard of ML yesterday. Tried to look for a specific answer to my question in the UM but I'm not it's there.
I have the 7D with 2.0.3FW. There are no options to set anything regarding mics. I hear the 2.0.5 have some controls but if there are any at all at the 2.0.3 I can't find them.
I've made a video recording with a mic straight to the camera... it was nearly unusable! So much noise.
My question is double-fold:
Will I be able to control the camera's pre-amp with ML?
Will it be better than using something like the Tascam DR60D-MII ?
Will it still be better to use both?

Thank you
