Yes, its working! Just takes about 1 second to apply the settings like its "loading", same time to show Global Draw.
I just cant trigger Magic Zoom, I only can use it if I set it to "always on", then it works just fine. I´m not using a chipped lens now so dont know if it triggers with focusing ring (I´m too lazy to change to the kit lens...)

Confirming: Magic Zoom triggers with focusing ring (but not with any button). When recording it triggers too but blinks and its just useless.

Were able to trigger it in previous versions?

Maybe the zoom button codes are incorrect. Use the autoexec which shows wakeup messages and check the button codes for zoom in. They may be different when recording and when not.

If it flickers, try a smaller window or smaller magnification.

Edit: Just did a test on 60D, with small and 1:1 in 720p 50fps mode (where it was unusable due to flicker). It did not flicker at all!

There was only little flicker in medium 2:1.

Large 2:1 is unusable even in 25p.

In 60fps, small 1:1flickers quite a bit when idle. When recording it's quite usable...

I tried the smallest.

Gonna try and see the button codes and return to you.

About the 1 second for exposure settings to apply, is that the way it is or it could be adjusted to be right on sooner than that?

Magic zoom works every way for me but Zrec Zrec+foc works, Zrec never worked in any version, and now it turns off fine when set to always, thanks Alex

Correction, Zrec does work, didnt realize I had to cover sensor, lol it works fine.

As far as Magic zoom flickering it only does on 1st record if u stop and start again its solid.

with a smaller magnification it worked. the strange thing is: when I got it working on recording, then I changed to all modes (magnification and size) and it worked just fine. Rebooting the camera made it flicker again till I changed the magnification.

So, when it got right, it worked with the other configurations for magnification and size. It just starts wrong. The button thing is the same, cant trigger it recording or iddle.

When I take the card out and put it back, the camera only turns on if I remove the battery for at least 2 seconds. Is it normal or a bug to be fixed?

Well, was a bit hard to distinguish some numbers but it looks like they are the same recording or iddle. Except for the "+/Zoom in", wich in record mode was flickering between 11 or 12 (coudlnt be sure), 63 and the -2345. Here they are:

DISP: 7
*/(-): 35
Zoom in/(+): 11 (maybe 12, couldnt be sure)
Half shutter: 36
left: 57
right: 55
up: 59
down: 61

When recording, stays on screen: -2345
When iddle after pressing any button: 63

This with no Cano info on screen. With Canon info the iddle number staying on screen is 0.

What the number 63 means?

Taking the memory card out of the camera too quickly causes it to lock up. After you open the card door, you have to wait a moment for the red LED to blink and when it stops glowing, then it is safe to remove the card and the camera will stay off as normally (otherwise it would run in a cycle and consume all the battery power).
