I cannot see my zebras or focus peak overlays on my Mark III. Here's what I have for my settings:

Global Draw: ON, all modes
Zebras: Luma, over 99%
Focus Peak: ON, 0.5, local

I'm running Canon firmware 1.2.3 and the nightly build for that version. 2015-04-27.

I can see my Magic Zoom and the scope overlays but these two I'm not seeing them. Is there a module I'm missing?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check the GD setting within either MLV_rec.mo or Raw_rec.mo depending on what ur shooting and be sure to allow GD while rec. enabled.

I don't even see the overlay's when I'm not recording. My GD setting is set to "ON, all modes", I'm not working in RAW so I don't get what the issue is. Is there something else I should be looking at?

Toggle liveview screens by info button ...

Perhaps try pressing info button on your 5D3 until the ML overlays show up?

I've tried toggling with the info button. I've used ML on my Mark II so I'm familiar what screen I'm supposed to be on. I'm still not seeing the overlays though. It's very confusing. Thanks for your help.

Display tab -> Clear overlays = OFF

Betude

The Clear overlays is OFF as well. I've turned that function on and off and still don't see them.

Backup ML\Settings
Prefs tab -> Config files -> Restore ML defaults

I'm able to see my Magic Zoom and my Histogram, as well as the Waveform and Vectorscope. It's the Zebras and Focus Peak I cannot see. I clearly have something blown out in my frame and don't see the Zebras, and when I focus I don't see the focus peak either. Am I missing something?

Betude

Restoring worked! Thank You Walter. It was driving me crazy.

Betude

You know what it was, I had the Magic Zoom set to Always on. When that is always on I don't see the zebras or the focus peak. Is that new? I don't remember that happening on my Mark II. Thanks for the help guys.
