I dont know if the LCD panel on the top of the Canon 5D mark 3 is something thats accessible through Magic Lantern, but currently with an Atomos recorder the only way (As far as Im aware) to get a Canon camera to keep recording after 29 mins and 59 seconds (Without the camera auto stopping itself) even though its not actually recording itself is to press the LCD panel illumination button once before 30 mins is up so then the Canon camera starts from 0 mins 0 secs again (Then you have to press it again at some point etc) .

Is this something that could be automated with Magic Lantern?
Thanks in advance.

OK, that seems to work so many thanks, but what is this doing exactly?
Is this actually focusing slightly?
It makes the Zebras blink constantly so its a little annoying.
