You need magic lantern. I have always manually focused with video myself but Canon's new dual pixel AF technology with a touch screen is amazing. You can set it slow so it looks like manual focus, it's more accurate than your eyes, even at tracking. As far as 4k full frame cameras it's only in the 1DX Mark ii right now, we expect it to be in ML for 5DIII is not yet compatible with Canon's 1.2.X firmware (currently 1.2.3) and you need to roll back to 1.1.3 before using ML. 2. ML sets a flag (the "bootflag") in the 5DIII firmware and even if you uninstall ML or do not reload it after initial use, that flag stays set and cannot easily/safely be unset. Hey guys, I have come across someone who is willing to sell their 5D iii for a great price. I am tempted do buy it just to install ML on it for video projects, but I already own a BMPCC. I am familiar with ML already, as I have it installed on my 50D, so I am familiar with all the features and the ML raw workflow. Magic Lantern isn’t actually written to the 5D Mark II’s ROM. Rather, it is run off the camera’s CF card and loaded into RAM after selecting “Update firmware” from the menu. Thinking of giving magic lantern a try on my 5d IV. Any potential problems/ pitfalls I should be aware of before considering this? Thanks. I dont mean to be rude, but your reply sounds somewhat ignorant about open source, free software. While I havent had the opportunity to use ML before, I have used plenty of open source free software in general.

Manual focusing in live view sans Magic Lantern means zooming all the way in on RmwM7X. long-term direction of Magic Lantern: merging the AJ 5.x firmware with the unified one currently running on smaller cameras. I need your help. As explained in the previous post, a good port (one suitable for paid jobs) requires me having a camera for testing. On 550D/60D ports, crashes are almost non-existent, audio meters are Thank you A.D and Alex, I'm a 5d Mark II user still and i still have the old 5dc body i still use for time laps stuff. Now, both of these camera's are getting old. It's sad that Canon doesn't care about their users anymore with firmwares. Magic Lantern 2.3 has been released.

Elements are the “words” of the image, what we place within the Magic Lantern isn't really "installed" in the camera. The firmware is installed only on a memory card but the memory card is flagged as "bootable" by the camera. When the camera is powered on, it notices the firmware on the card and starts using that instead of the default firmware inside the camera (so the internal firmware is never touched.)
