Unless I'm understanding something wrong, the frame rate display in the upper right corner seems to be incorrect.

In PAL, 25fps mode, the frame rate is displayed as "30.000", and in NTSC 30fps it reads 35.xxx.
PAL 720p 50fpx is displayed as 60.000.

These are not the numbers I'd expect...

I'd also like to see this, as I have a 450D I use as a backup camera which would be perfect for timelapse stuff - ML running on this would be very useful...

I guess using ML at first is a little complicated because it does a lot, there are a lot of options, and you are having to change or reuse buttons and screens that you've learnt how to use in one way in a different way.

I found it a little complex at first, but after a bit of focused playing today, checking out the features, behaviour and options, and figuring out the implementation and the button presses etc, it's actually becoming quite straightforward to use.

I expect a lot of us here are new to ML, so expect a bit of a learning curve. I think it's wise to not clutter this thread with general new user questions about how to use ML and feature requests etc, so it can stay focused on getting it up to a stable release version for the 7D.

I guess there are other places in the forums to talk about general ML use etc.

However - I'm loving it so far.

3. When ML menu is brought up (trash button) the picture profile menu comes up for a quick moment.

Yeah, I get this also.

I formatted compact flash memory in the camera, if I do that I will lose ML files?

Giuys - please actually *read* the instructions at the top of the thread, rather than asking questions already answered.

Known issues:
* Formatting the card will also remove Magic Lantern files

I get a "MLDATA/FONTS.dat retry" message on boot, and while ML loads, the text on the screen displays and menus is garbled (its displayed like random noise).

I'm going to clean out the system, reflash 2.0.3, then retry ML to see if this persists...

Ok, I took the same download, and unpacked the zip with a different archive utility, not Mac OSX's built in archive tool, recopied to the card, and ML works fine.

So, if anybody is updating using a Mac, be aware that's it's *possible* the inbuilt zip tool might be corrupted the firmware download. I'll try again to verify this is the case and report back.
