Canon 5D Mark III / 5D3 / Firmware 1.2.3

[pngai]

- You should go to MODULES and selected what you need.
- Turn off, and turn on.
- After that, you should go to the MODULE that you have selected in the MENU.
- Press Q and put the values.

Example: you select RAW in MODULES. Turn OFF and ON. Go to ML Menu, Video, press Q over RAW.

Take a look in the manual and thread!

You are welcome to the wild side

It still doesn't work I'm using a videomic pro and the buzzing noise in the background is killing me!!! Is there anything else I can do?

Can you see the ML menu in the viewfinder, when you are connected by HDMI?
Thanks.

NOT in mirror mode with 1920x1080 hdmi out, neither can I see the Canon menu.
In non-mirror mode i can see the ML and canon menu on the HDMI, but then I don't have an 1920x1080 output


How can I get a 1920x1080 output in the HDMI with overlays without using the canon LCD (not mirroring)??
I hope that would be possible soon!!

For the record, been awol IRL with school, kids etc, but just got the latest build from nightlies on my 5D3 1.2.3 and it seems loads better, the mlv format seems more solid now as well, and I've not seen any pink/corrupted frames in my limited testing, I just don't have one of those super fast computerbay or other cards that can handle raw at 80+Mbs.  It is looking really good otherwise from what I've seen.

Thanks for the excellent work.

I believe if we are a more people requiring ML menu in viewfinder when it's connected, DEVs can develop that function.
This is reading for A1ex and more Hero Members. Crossfingers

been contemplating giving ML a try for some time now.

i've read that audio doesn't work, how can i get around this ? I do not own an external recorder. also are you still able to take pictures with ML installed ?

i'll probably give it a try this weekend once i get all my questions answered. I'll ask more as i think of em, and i'll attempt to use the search feature to find some more answers..

[kontrakatze]

I think you haven't read enough. Sound is possible with mlv, shooting photos is also possible, why shouldn't it?

I shoot stills all the time with the latest build. No problems.

Hi everyone and nice to meet you
I wanted to install Magic Lantern on my 5D Mark III mainly for timelapses;
Is there a way to install ML only on the SD card; to avoid losing the changes I made in the settings of the machine; and then to have magic lantern only if I insert the sd?
thank you

If you don't put the card with ML, you DSRL works with the original firmware.
You can save your settings even with ML running!

[mercurio]

Thank you, so I don't have to do this step of the install guide of ML?
"Restore your camera to default settings (Clear settings, see picture above). Remember this will reset all canon settings and removes custom picture styles! "

[vovkinson]

Yep. Buy Canon C500

Is there anything else I can do?

No. Put ML and enjoy!
Read the Manual Guide and Relax.

Hello, I just installed ML on my mark iii, and I'm getting two horizontal lines of dots across the frame. It pops up for one frame then goes away, then might pop up a few seconds later on another part of the frame. It's always only for 1 frame, and the timing in between is random.

Here are 3 frame shots from the clip showing the lines. Has anyone seen this before?

[unfilmde]

The nightly build is running smooth. I don't consider it bleeding edge anymore, not for a while now, anyway.

Excellent work.

The only thing I've encountered was a file that would not play in MLRAWViewer even though it was showing a file size of around 2.8GB. I processed it in RawMagic (which by the way automatically detects spanned clips now! Excellent!), and even though RawMagic couldn't see the FPS as 23.976, it still processed it to CinemaDNG and I was able to open it fine in After Effects as a RAW sequence. I don't know why MLRAWViewer couldn't play it back but in the end it worked.

So far no dropped frames, no green noise or pink dots here on my 5D Mark iii running the latest 1.2.3 build of 2014-06-21.

Which card do you use?

[chopper2585]

Which card do you use?

I'm using a Komputer Bay 64gb 1000x. I'm noticing it at all resolutions.

[a1ex]

Can you share your config file, the steps to reproduce, and how often you get the issue?

Does it happen with RAW, MLV or both?

External monitor or built-in LCD?

Other Canon settings?

A screenshot of Debug->Show EDMAC, without any modules loaded, in movie mode, should be also helpful.

Hi a1ex, is there an easy way to get the compiled code to test? Sorry, my programming days are so far away… Concentrating on creating content nowadays.

Cheers,

Andrew

Right now I'm interested in feedback from people with programming skills. After that, you'll be able to try it.

From my experience, and I may be completely wrong, this happens before the card is about to get corrupt. The only time I encountered something like this was after Komputerbay 64gb card was used with non UDMA 7 card reader which apparently corrupted it and after that I experienced something like this. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks A1ex!
I think that a proper external support is a huge deal!
I want to help too but I haven't any programming skills...let me know if you ever need someone to help you figuring bugs and using it on the field to improve it.

Thanks, I went out today and took a lot of stills, finding a handful were corrupted. I'm thinking (hoping) that it is in fact the card. I have a Lexar UDMA 7 card reader, but the card might have been bad from the start. I have a new one coming Wednesday so I can test the SanDisk Extreme this time.

After getting some corrupted stills, I ordered a new card. Though it was benchmarking okay, maybe the card is going bad. I'll send you all the details if I still experience the issue on the new SanDisk I ordered. Thanks for the reply!

Please report if the problem persists with the new card.
BTW I've had a couple of Lexar UDMA 7 card readers go crazy and corrupting files during transfer. Transferring the same files from the same card with a different reader didn't show any problems and the files were ok, so I'd check also a different reader just to be sure.

All best,
Goran
