Has anyone used Magic Lantern on a T3i/600D yet?

I was up all night thinking about Magic Lantern are you still having issues?

I loaded the Dec 2011 version and used it last weekend at wedding. Everything works just fine (everything meaning the features that i care... focus peaking, movie restart, audio meter...)

Focus peaking still have issue after 3X crop zoom on or off after. Now it gets worst that the entire screen is filled with some red blinking dots. Have to turn off the camera to wait for a few seconds.

Otherwise, it works well. =)

Have you tried to use "Magic Zoom" - or whatever it's called? The feature where you get a picture within picture for focusing. I can't get it to work in this version.

Harry.

Am I right in thinking that you install ML on each memory card before you go out on a shoot? I am so used to inserting a card and choosing format before I begin shooting. Also are you still using sandisk cards?

You can format the card without wiping ML, a feature of ML, which restores itself.

I am loving ML on the T3i. It's great for timelapse, too.

The only glitch for me is that the picture within picture focus (which does work fine normally) malfunctions AFTER you've zoomed in 3X. You have to stick with one or the other if you are going to check the focus.
