Installation is simple.

  • After installation, please copy your ROM backup files (ML/LOGS/ROM*.BIN on the card) to a safe place.

Uninstall Method 1

  • Canon menu: Format card, remove Magic Lantern.
    • This procedure does not disable the BOOTDISK flag. With this method, you will still be able to run Magic Lantern from other cards. 
  • Never delete the Magic Lantern files from the card! Format the card instead.

Uninstall Method 2

  • Run Firmware Update from your ML card.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions, including the fine print.
    • This procedure disables the BOOTDISK flag. You will no longer be able to run Magic Lantern, unless you reinstall it.
