Then, on startup the camera will load its firmware from EEPROM memory, and the camera will behave normally. The addition I'd make to MarshallG's comments is that to NOT boot up with ML, you will need to have a new card in the camera that is not boot-enabled. Some features are only supported by the more "pro" cameras, because the underlying registers and routines are just not available in the more consumer-grade cameras. Even after several years of use, I still have not used all the features. There was some "information overload" at the beginning, but after experimenting with the various settings, it became clearer how the features worked and what they revealed/controlled. I've used various versions of Magic Lantern on my Canon P&S and DSLR cameras with no ill effects to the cameras, ever.
Turn the camera off and back on, and it's back to regular mode. After a few seconds, your camera is running ML. Put the card in your camera and choose the Firmware Upgrade feature. Installing ML is really easy - you download it and copy it from your PC to your CompactFlash card.
That said, it's easy to launch, and if you're only interested in a specific function, such as intervalometer, it's probably pretty easy, and when you turn the camera off, it reverts back to its original state. I think you need to spend a while reading directions on their website. I tried ML on my 7D and found it confusing to use. On the 7D, you can only install ML into memory (the camera can't boot into ML firmware), so ML always goes away when the camera's turned off. and even then, the warranty wouldn't be void, only the specific repair.īUT Magic Lantern can't brick a 7D, because it isn't written to flash. Click to expand.There's nothing to " beware," because Canon said that ML won't void their warranty, unless the software "bricked" the camera.
