If you have to have these features right now, your best bet is to get a hold of one of the models that is supported. How likely is it to happen? If you follow all instructions and use stable releases this is unlikely but not impossible.įor the record: I briefly risked putting MagicLantern onto my 5D MK II but never made any real use of it because I'm a photographer not a videographer.The newer your Canon camera model is, the less likely it is that there will be a Magic Lantern build for it (just as with Canon P&S cameras, the less likely it is there will be a CHDK build for it). What can happen? The absolute worst case is a fried chip which will need a new mainboard.

#MAGIC LANTERN CANON REBEL UPDATE#

Even updating your Firmware using an update from Canon can go wrong. Just like a bug in a program on a computer - a program might be stable during testing and then crash on your computer only. Put it that way, "they" (the developers) do not want to brick your camera, so it should be fine, however, sometimes things go wrong. they have tested it on their own camera and it worked, so it should be fine, however it might still brick your camera. if it says "Firmware 1.1.1" then only use it on that Firmware and not another. Point one is to follow all instructions - i.e.

In order to be able to use an Eye-Fi card again: Remove the bootdisk flag using Magic Lantern sw (i.e.

The camera will not boot and appears to be broken if you try.

An Eye-Fi card without Magic Lantern cannot be used as a backup card (this is not documented as far as I know).

An Eye-Fi card cannot be used with Magic Lantern (this is documented).

Important information for Eye-Fi card users:

Always have an SD card w/o Magic Lantern installed at hand as a backup plan.

Read the Magic Lantern forums to find out of potential problems other users are experiencing.

Let the more adventurous users (I'm one of them) try the new releases first.

Don't be an early adopter, wait a bit before you jump on to the new release.At the time I'm writing this the stable release is 2.3. Read all the instructions and understand the entire process before you actually do it. Follow the installation instructions to the T.If you want to minimize the risks I recommend the following: The recent 2.3 release has been extremely stable in my experience. I haven't experienced any crashes that didn't clear when removing the battery.

Note that the software does crash from time to time, and sometimes it is necessary to remove the battery to reset the camera. My experience with Magic Lantern on my 60D has been very good, I think the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages and risks. So you always have the choice to run Magic Lantern or not if you keep track of which of your SD cards have Magic Lantern installed and which do not.

This is important to know, because if you replace the Magic Lantern SD card with a regular SD card (one that does not have Magic Lantern installed) or no SD card at all, the camera will not find any code to load, so it will just load the stock firmware, and there will be absolutely no trace of Magic Lantern. The bootdisk feature is what enables the camera to load Magic Lantern at boot time. Magic Lantern enables the bootdisk flag in your camera and then installs to the SD card.

This flag tells the camera if it should try to load and execute software stored in the SD card. My understanding is that the only change that is done to your camera is to enable the "bootdisk" flag, which is a very minor change.

I think something not everybody understands is the Magic Lantern does not install into your camera but to the SD card. The chances of bricking your camera are extremely low (but not zero).
