Hi all, I own a 5D III and tried to install magic lantern for it but it did not work why is that? also what is that
Combine two or more images (multiple exposure preview)? because the 5D III already has multiple exposure, maybe it is like the image overlay that Nikon has in their cameras? also does it have the intervalometer ? thanks and I will donate, truth be told I was almost ready to switch to Nikon because of the features their cameras have in them.

Nothing??? are you serious in here?

I would suggest formatting an SD card in camera and then loading Alpha 3 on that card.  To use the alpha you will have to run the firmware update from the Canon menu after each time you power on the camera (as of yet, no autoboot).  Also suggested is disabling the auto power off feature in Canon menu.

As for intervalometer, a1ex clearly states what features are enabled and why in 5DIII Alpha 3 here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=2602.msg18197#msg18197:

I guess it's time to post a small update, mostly with bugfixes.

The most important change is a card test executed at startup. My 16GB (Kingston 266x) card has problems, and I'm trying to diagnose the issue: maybe it's just my card, or maybe it's related to this. If the test fails on your camera, please report.

There are also a few handy tweaks:
- Histogram and waveform moved to bottom
- New experimental display for focus peaking (extreme sharpness)
- 16:9 bars for anamorphic preview
- Focus box moves faster (not yet customizable)
- After taking a picture and pressing Zoom In right away, you can scroll through pictures
- Saturation boost when adjusting white balance
- Warnings for bad settings (e.g. if you set picture quality to JPEG instead of RAW by mistake)
- Dim the red LED while recording (make it less distracting)

Now, about the photo features. I can enable most of them, but, while running the random stability test, at some point the camera froze; I took the battery out, and found out that LiveView was no longer working (even when booting without card). Cleared camera settings and it's OK now. But this shows clearly that there's something fishy inside.

So, all other features that depend on properties will have to wait until I'll understand what happened. It may take a few months, maybe more, maybe less, I have no idea.

Current alphas are pretty safe, to the best of my knowledge.

Please forgive all 18171 registered users for not responding so promptly in the midst of a holiday season when many people have more pressing things than monitoring a forum continually, such as working extended hours, traveling, or spending time with loved ones.

What does not work? What step fails during the installation process? Did you follow each step and if so did you try to access the ML menu afterward or did you just expect a magical telepathic announcement that your camera is magic now.

You are going to have to provide more detail if you expect a serious response. The exposure fusion preview is a simulated preview of what a HDR combination of multiple images could look like.
