Canon 7D / No beep and focus confirmation light for P, Tv, Av modes

Hi ALL

As already written I updated my Canon 7D to the new Firmware 2.0.5. Magic Lantern did not worked. I re-installed the Firmware 2.0.4 as well as Magic Lantern. OK.

Now, I have a problem using P, Tv, Av modes: by pressing the shutter button it is not more possible to hear the focus beep confirmation and the focus confirmation light (green point), right in Viewfinder, will be not shown! In the viewfinder, left, next to the battery indicator, the green STAR (AE-Look) is shown. If the AF-ON button will be pressed, the beep sounds. The confirmation light will be shown, but only if the button will be kept pressed. This situation is observed with or without Magic Lantern in function. In the automatic mode, no problem!
My question would be: could be possible that ML caused this issue?

Thank you. Best Regards, Eugene

Confirmed bug with current ML/TL on 7D.

Workaround: Remove battery and everything will work fine. Until you mount an "old-style" lens after one of the most recent ones.

Ciao, Walter

PS: I'm pretty sure you are using firmware version 2.0.3.

Hi Walter, yes, issue solved. Thank you. And also YES, you guess, I have 2.0.3! Best Regards, Eugene
