![]() ![]() It’s the camera-equivalent of Apple banning the entire App Store. Better to buy one used with the firmware confirmed as supported by Magic Lantern.Ĭanon’s attitude towards apps is out of step with 2015. Until then, if you want to run Magic Lantern be mindful of buying a brand new Canon body to run it on. Let’s hope Canon have not changed their policy towards Magic Lantern and will continue to allow users to do what the hell they like with their own cameras. Seemingly no news or user reports of feature changes or improvements using the new firmware.No download of V1.3.3 on Canon’s website.Cannot roll back to V1.2.3 (supported by Magic Lantern).Remove battery and then reinstall charged battery. ![]() It may be that Canon haven’t encrypted the new firmware at all and Magic Lantern will update their software to support it (no guarantees though), but the circumstances surrounding its arrival are rather auspicious for a blocking tactic… Problem: After a couple of apparent failed Magic Lantern firmware loading attempts, my 60D would only turn on if I followed this specific procedure. This is breaking news and the situation could change. I also know a lot of people (myself included) who kept hold of their 5D Mark III long after I would otherwise have sold it, purely to run Magic Lantern’s features such as raw video recording. It was a really strong selling point of the camera. That's all in the past for the Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 7D, as a1ex has managed to get. Panasonic once encrypted the GH1 firmware on more recent bodies to leave the factory, only to reverse the policy when it came to the GH2 which allowed the community around the hack to flourish. Magic Lantern did the unthinkable and figured out how to get RAW video out of Canon cameras, and now they've managed to increase the native dynamic range of the image without using an HDR method of varying light and dark frames, which can cause serious motion artifacts. They paid the money, their camera is their own. They can modify them, take them apart, use them as door stops. In my opinion, as long as they are aware of the warranty being void, users can do what they like with their cameras. If this is a move to block Magic Lantern it won’t generate very much good will.

Discuss on the EOSHD ForumĬanon look to have blocked Magic Lantern and new 5D Mark III bodies which won’t roll back to older firmware. ![]()
