Hello ML,

     On the 2018-07-03 nightly build I wasn't able to do a timelapse with Aperture Priority with my manual focus lens (on Canon 5D Mark III). However, I was able to do Auto Ettr in Manual mode with this lens, the Laowa 12mm F2.8 Zero Distortion. If I use an autofocus lens I'll try Aperture Priority vs. Auto Ettr, but I just wanted anyone reading this to know.

I messaged Danne. He told me Auto Ettr is not a reliable module, and to use AV (Aperture Priority) instead. I will test AV with Timelapse mode on the next sunset or sunrise I go to. I will report back here how it went. I just wanted to post this in case anyone else was reading.

     Ok so last night I recorded a timelapse of the sunset near where I live. I had a Canon 5D Mark III on Firmware Version 1.2.3 with the Latest Nightly Build: 2018-07-03. I was successful. The Auto Ettr module was enabled, and it worked.

     However, on another Canon 5D Mark III with the same firmware version 1.2.3, I had Danne's build (with the renamed ML directory and renamed autoexec.bin). I couldn't turn the camera on. The red light would come on for a second, and then off. I used multiple batteries.

     When I arrived home, I tried again with no luck. Then I put the SD card in a memory card reader, plugged it into a PC, and just had all original files and no renamed folder and no renamed file put on the SD card. When I put the SD card in my camera, the camera turned on.

     I'm not sure what exactly is going on, but I do know the nightly build on this site works, and Danne's build isn't working for timelapses (with what I've experienced).

     Here is a link to his build: https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/

     It works great for video, and I prefer it over the Nightly Build from 2018 when shooting video.

     Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Walter,

    I didn't have a sunset or sunrise, but I shot a bunch of pictures with Lua and Ettr Modules enabled. I panned the camera to dark lighting and bright lighting based off the sun outside. I even put a Variable ND Filter and it worked. Everything worked properly. So what does this mean? Do you need any files from me? How can I achieve this with the build I'm using? Thank you for all your help.

Hello Walter,

    Thank you for the quick response. I've heard of lua before, but have never used it. Can you explain how to do this?

Hello Magic Lantern,

     I shot a sunset timelapse last night and a sunrise timelape this morning. For some reason, the camera stays on the same setting when first taking a picture throughout the entire timelapse when on Manual mode. For example this morning, it stayed at 8" at ISO 1600 and F8. For some reason I had to adjust the slowest shutter to 8" in order to get proper exposure. I used a B+W 10 Stop ND on a Canon 16-35mm F2.8 L USM Mark 1. Basically, the exposure is not changing when the sun gets brighter, or sun gets darker with a sunset. I changed the Highlight Ignore settings from 5% (used on sunset) to 0% this morning (for sunrise).

     I'm on Firmware 1.2.3 using this build: https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/

     I even tried turning the SNR limit to off for Midtone and Shadow. I had link to Dual ISO on. The exposure target was -1 EV.

     I'm really confused as to what is causing this.

     Can anyone help me? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello ML,

    I'm fixing bad pixels using pixel maps on MLV App for 5.7K Canon 5D Mark III footage. However, I cannot figure out how to zoom really far to see individual pixels. I can only zoom 100%. I'm using Windows 10 on a PC. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- Paul

Revision: I figured it out. I zoomed to 100% and then used the scroll on my mouse. Sorry for the hassle.

Also I can't set Avatar by URL link, after I put the link and save changes, a message appear settings updated but actually nothing has updated, and URL box will still empty.

Did you find a solution to this theBilalFakhouri? My profile picture is gone and I can't seem to create an avatar by URL link... Thanks.

Hey Walter,

     Thank you for the quick reply. I was able to get it to work. I'm using Danne's most recent build from April 1st, 2021.

Hey Danne,

    Thank you for the quick response. I was able to get it to work thanks to this tutorial:

Hello Walter,

     Thank you for your quick reply. I'm trying to figure out how to record to the CF card and SD card at the same time with the SD card overclock. I'm sorry if this has been answered already on the forum. I haven't found an answer. Basically I enabled 160 Mhz but only MLV files are recorded to the CF card. There are tutorials for the EOS M online, but I cannot find info for the 5D Mark III. If someone can type any sort of directions on how to proceed that would be great. Thanks.

Hello Paul,

     Do you mind sharing a link to the exact sd card you used to overclock? Is this faster than using a 1066x cf card? Thanks.

You're welcome! Ok I understand. I hope this feature works for you soon. Cheers!

Hello theBilalFakhouri,

     I'm using the April 1st, 2021 build from Danne for the Canon 5D Mark III found here: https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/

     I'm using Firmware Version 1.2.3.

     I've tested Force HDMI-VGA and it works fine. It's useful for shooting higher frame rates where I just want to get accurate framing. I have 2 monitors that also have a force HDMI-VGA option on them.

     I would suggest trying different hdmi cables, different builds, and different monitors. Try the HDMI-VGA option on a monitor if you can.

     Different hdmi cables have helped me in the past. Some work better than others, especially when you watch the footage to see if there is tearing or dropped frames.

     I hope this helps...

Hello Kharak,

     Thank you for the quick response. Recording seems stable. I'm not using fps override and still am not able to playback sound with H.264 proxies. Actually, sound plays back for a second and then cuts out. I'm just hoping to find a way to playback sound throughout the entire clip.

- Paul
#20
Hello Walter,

    Thanks for the quick response. Ok. I was hoping a faster SD card would playback sound with H.264 proxies. Are you saying a faster card will not make a difference since proxies are low quality and don't require fast cards?

     Hello ML Community,

     Does anyone know if the SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC Memory Card is compatible with the Canon 5D Mark III? Here is a link: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1499695-REG/sandisk_sdsdxxy_1t00_ancin_1tb_extreme_pro_uhs_i.html

     Is it worth purchasing the 170 mb/s or should I purchase the older 95 mb/s model? I'm considering SD card overclock but am also wondering if a faster card will playback H.264 proxies with sound.

    Any help on this would be great. Thanks.

Hello ML Community,

     I'm planning on going to my local skatepark and filming some skaters with a fisheye lens. I really would like to record 50 fps raw video, however I cannot find a way to playback sound for skaters to view. I'm currently using Danne's Build from December 11th, 2020. I've tried MLV playback and H.264 proxies. The only other way I can think of is to use my Zoom H6 audio recorder or my Iphone. To my knowledge, recording to an external recorder wouldn't work either because this camera doesn't output sound through clean HDMI. Any help on this would be great. Thank you.

Hello ML Community,

    Thanks so much for your quick feedback. Below are my responses...

@Danne

    Ok I understand. Thank you for your quick responses. Much appreciated.

@ChristianEOS,

     I don't think it's the picture profile honestly because I chose Cinelog-C in Adobe Camera Raw. I first exported a DNG Sequence from MLV App, then chose Cinelog-C. I'll see if I can do more tests. The ISO is 1600, but to my understanding that ISO value is safe to use with the Canon 5D Mark III. Any more details on fixing Cyan? Where is the fix for banding? I tried the most recent 10 bit/ 12 bit Raw build from the ML Experiments Page. Same issue. I can try the nightly builds but recording in 10 bit is really important to me since I can get continuous raw recording, which is important for filming skateboarders. Don't want the recording to stop in the middle of a trick. I think is 4:3 is better (more resolution, wider) with 1080p 30fps, I'll have to test that out, but I don't think it's continuous... More fps is better for capturing skateboarding tricks.

@tupp

    Yes the problem is the two dots in the red ellipse. What's odd is there is a horizontal banding line where those two dots show up. As well as vertical banding lines. I don't remember seeing the lines before, but I have seen the dots. Bad pixels? Not sure the best way to fix this except for pixel maps which I'm not too familiar with. I have done it in the past. I thought this was an issue with the Canon 5D Mark III I have, but it's happening with both cameras. It's possible if I use the newer high quality 50fps preset that this issue won't be there, but in that mode I won't achieve continuous recording, to my knowledge.

Hello Danne,

    You're absolutely right, sorry for my negligence. It's been a while since I've posted here. The reason I included the video in my room is because I know the issue shows there. But yes, I probably should've shown the issue not in a messy room. Here is a link to a trimmed MLV exported with MLV App: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10ppfIyoli3Z9oFAzl6AvP5ObXh4KuZVz?usp=sharing

    It's a bit difficult showing the exact issue, since there are multiple faint horizontal and vertical lines, but in the 4 seconds of the MLV there is a horizontal line you can see.

    In this 300% cropped image, where the white wood is next to the window, there are a few black pixels, and this is where the horizontal line comes across:

     Thank you for the quick response by the way. Thanks for all you do.

Hello ML Community,

    Below are two clips filmed from two different Canon 5D Mark III's.

     https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1I1W2oSlPu_xSkZ_uhXE1pWHhNAFlZUXj?usp=sharing

    I'm having an issue which involves horizontal and vertical lines showing up in the video. These were shot in 4:3 aspect ratio at 50fps in Magic Lantern Raw Video with 10 Bit Lossless with Alter Bit Depth set to 10 bit. Sound is auto, no mic attached. I used an external monitor, and didn't use fps override. The Build is:

    https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Dec11.5D3123.zip

    I've tried not using the external monitor, tried 23.976fps, and different MLV App settings as well as all MLV App settings turned off. I've even tried Batch MLV App. I'm using Cinelog-C in Adobe Camera Raw and SmartImport2 Script with After Effects. Clips are ProRes 4444 XQ. All software is up to date.

    I tried using Neat Video V5 but it made the clips look worse...

    I honestly am boggled as to what is going on. It's possible it's a build issue, but I'm hoping there's something I'm missing that someone can point out. I'm hoping to film some skateboarders soon, so I'm doing all the preparations I can in time for when it's warm out.

    I hope everyone is having a good holiday. Thank you for any input. Please let me know if you need more detail or have any questions. Thanks.
