has anyone been brave enough to have taken this step and installed the nightly build of ML on the 6D?
Yep,
I've got it on one of my SD cards.
Haven't had much need to use it yet.
Might try out raw video at some point but equally it's quite a lot of hassle.
For stills I'm not sure if there are any benefits that I would enjoy.
I concur
I am really worried of bricking the camera. That's the only reason I haven't installed it as of yet
and ML forums are full of sanscrit type conversations of things my little brain cannot grasp (firmware jargon), so in case I brick it, I will have a real hard time bringing it back to life, if ever.
I've had it on my 6D for a few weeks. No issue to report.
I don't do video, but it does come in handy for stills in some areas.
- BULB mode (you can set the duration).
- Intervalometer (for those star trail or similar shots)
- Turns off the GPS when the camera is off so it doesn't drain the battery (known issue on stock 6D)
- Some other goodies like zebras and peak focusing, which I have yet to play with.
