18Mar Canon 5d mark III 1.2.3 firmware Magic Lantern support
One of the main reasons I haven’t been using Magic Lantern on my 5d mark III bodies is that up until recently using Magic Lantern on the 5dmkIII meant you needed to downgrade the older 1.1.3 firmware on your camera to get things working. While raw video is a novel concept, I haven’t found it all that practical for most applications and the clean HDMI output of the newer 1.2.3 firmware has always been more useful to me.
With the recent update posted by Magic Lantern it looks like they have finally move to support Canon’s 1.2.3 firmware update. I might have to give it another try and see how well it works. Magic Lantern displays and clean HDMI out would be a nice combination to have.

Word is, the HDMI out is a very big bug.

Thanks for the heads up Rick. Might have to hold off a while longer on ML on the 1.2.3 then.

I really want to use ML but I’m waiting for the full release for 5Dmk3. No trial and error on my baby thanks.
