CANON 7D firmware forgotten after switch off

[riccardoricci68]

Hi,

is it normal that each time I switch off the camera, it forgets the Magic Lantern firmware and I have to reload it ?

A friend of mine said that this don't happen with Canon 5D. Is it true?

Thanks.

It's normal to read the release notes before downloading

I've read the release notes here:

but there's nothing about my questions in the topic... :-(

The page you linked is about the 2.3 stable release which does not support the 7D....

the 7D release is this: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3103.0

"* You have to reload Magic Lantern every time you use it."

But, is this only for this alpha release? I mean, will it be solved on the final release? This comment makes me doubt about it:

We can run Magic Lantern from autoexec.bin, but we still can not reliably enable the bootflag to execute it. This means, virgin cameras will only be able to run the .FIR version of ML for now. We know ways to enable the bootflag, but they would involve copyright issues. And that's something we want to avoid.

Seeing that 3 months ago there were doubts that ML would ever run on the 7D, you might be giving up prematurely. This is, after all, Alpha 1.
