Stable Release download?

[Levthon]

hi
Im new here in  the forum. i have a Canon EOS 6D. im interested to expereiment with Magic lantern, but i have a question.

In the download section i only find nightly builds to download. Arent any stable release to download?

[Walter Schulz]

Stable is considered to be outdated. Unsupported for years without most recent features (Dual-ISO, RAW video, Full Resolution Silent Pic and others). And best of all: There is no stable v2.3 for 6D.

[Levthon]

so theres only nightly build to download? would you recommend it to download and install it?

[Walter Schulz]

No, of course not!

[Levthon]

but then how can i try this out? i want to shoot video in raw

[masc]

No, of course not!

LOL... your cam may explode...

can i later uninstall these nightly builds or does it really fuck up my camera? does the latest nightly build for 6D raw video record sound too?

[Walter Schulz]

You will see. Please take a vid during installation (Lexan shielding recommended) and put it on youtube. If no Lexan around you may ask a local school if you may use their chem lab.

you should go to school to learn how to answer properly to questions. I mean i asked 2 things. What do you mean "You will see?" if you cant help me why do you bother posting?

@Levthon: everything you ask here is written in the documentation and in this forum. Just read...

Hi @Levthon and welcome to the shark tank. I see you are very new to the forum, 6 posts so far 5 of them here and one on a topic about a wedding video shot on a different camera than your Canon 6D:

To answer that question, yes that video was done using a nightly build--in fact everyone is using nightly builds. Except perhaps for those who can compile the source code or the one or two hold outs that are clinging to their "stable" version--without raw video capabilities.

If you go to the download page you will see several warnings about nightly builds and no link for a so-called "stable" version of Magic Lantern. So Walter Schulz answered your question:

Stable is considered to be outdated. Unsupported for years without most recent features (Dual-ISO, RAW video, Full Resolution Silent Pic and others). And best of all: There is no stable v2.3 for 6D.

If I may offer some advice, please read posts by other Canon 6D members and instead of starting a new topic on something that has been discussed before--post on an appropriate topic. You made a new topic in General Development Discussion when you would have done better by reading through this discussion about your camera.

You want to experiment with raw video? There's a section in the forum dedicated to that. Read about other users' experiences and try not to ask the same questions that have already been answered many times before.

Oh--and if your camera blows up you get to keep the pieces
