I just installed Magic Lantern and everything works fine. I seen in the documentation though that you can go up to 35fps in this new 2.3 version. I am currently using a Canon 60d and see no option in the ML menu for frame rates???

thanks

Ok thanks, also I have another question.

My questions for now are:

1.) Do we have to have ML installed on all of the memory cards we use? I thought this changed the Canon's firmware of the camera, please let me know.

2.) I usually format my cards after every shoot, if I formate my card I i will erase ML, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks for the help

You have to install ML on every card you use.

Format your cards in camera, rather then on a PC/Mac. If you do it in camera, Magic Lantern will automatically restore.

I used Magic Lantern on a shoot today and it seemed like sometimes it would work and sometimes not? How is it that you use it?

I start the camera and press the trash can, then when I press it again or go to the menu then it is Canons regular version that the camera had. So my question is how is it that I am supposed to exactly use Magic Lantern and avoid using Canon's stock version?

Thanks

No idea about your last q. ML works very nicely for me.

Pressing the Menu button will take you to the Canon menu. ML's menu is always accessed via the Trash Can button.

Also, if you press Display while in liveview, it clears Magic Lantern's global draw and displays the stock view in LV. You just need to press DISP again to get back to ML.
