Obviously this is big news for Mark III owners out there because many have been waiting to have basic video features like zebras and peaking that have already been available on other Canon DSLRs. Here is the photo showing what is currently working on this first alpha version: The CF cards don’t have to be bootable or prepared in any way, and you can freely swap and format them without problems. All recording can take place on CF cards.

This also means the autoboot feature does not work yet - you will have to load Magic Lantern every time by running Firmware Update from Canon menu. Since the 5D mark III has two card slots, we recommend running Magic Lantern from a small SD card that stays in the camera. It will not attempt to change any Canon settings or do any kind of permanent firmware modification. Since a complete port may take some time and we realize that a lot of people are waiting for it, we have decided to release early a minimal version that should be useful and - we hope - with very little risk. This first alpha version is based on v2.3 core and only has a small feature set, like zebras and focus peaking (see screenshot).

Check below for more details on the release. While it doesn't contain all of the features of the major 2.3 release, it does have many essential video functions that make shooting easier. Well, the wait is over, because the first alpha of Magic Lantern on the Mark III is now available for download. Earlier in the week it was mentioned that Magic Lantern was being developed for the Canon 5D Mark III, and that a version would be released this week.
