Canon 7D latest ML update

[mtfreestyler]

Hi Guys,

Honestly I'm fairly noob with ML. I've been using it for about a year now on my 7D with alpha 2 but I think it's due for the latest build.

Trouble is I just can't figure out where to start looking for the latest build.

I have looked through the forums and there are many threads but it is just confusing me between all the nightlies and fairly stable releases. I'm not 100% comfortable with the nightlies due to the possibility of bricking the camera.

Can someone please either link me to a specific spot or post it here the newest and most relatively stable/reputable release?

Thanks heaps

These are not ML builds.

For now it's not possible to have ML with the news functions in your 7D but i think soon will be possible.

So, for the time there is no official ML build with RAW-Video support? I am very confused as I saw many people posting RAW videos with their 7D on youtube...

There was a ML version and hopefully there will be one in the nearer future. Today there is Tragic Lantern running on 7D.
EDIT: Well, that was fast ...

With RAW-Video support?

With RAW-Video support?

yes, the nightly build for 7D has raw support via raw_rec.mo .

[1%]

After the recent merge you have stable + experimental builds now... both should have mlv_rec.. why don't they?

According to the feature matrix, it has: http://nanomad.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/features.html

Doesn't work?

[ted ramasola]

the mlv_rec.mo and other mlv prefixed modules is not included on the nightly zip.

Solved, thanks for pointing out.
