A few more wins for the BM is it's awesome color science, BRAW, and it's beautiful highlight roll-off. You can get the roll-off there with ML, but BM renders that transition SO much better than Canon, even on their cinema line

I like the rolloff of my 5D III RAW better then my ursa mini pro, let alone my pocket 4K. I also like the color science of canon more. But thats just personal taste offcourse.

BTW, after playing a bit with M and M50, I started to wonder what's the purpose of all other Rebel cameras on the market. Do they have better battery life, or...?

True the only camera's from canon that matter atm are the 5D IV and canon eos r. Hope ML will run on either soon

Great Job guys!

Hi there,

this is my first post here, but I've been following both the 80D and the 5D IV threads for a little while now, since I just upgraded from an 80D to a 5D IV.
I'm a computer science student and am willing to spend some time on this, and think I could help a little bit. My 5D IV runs v1.1.2, so I'll start by updating the codebase to the new version.
However, I've got finals coming up in a few weeks and won't be able to work on this until late February.

Hope I'll be able to help!

Awesome news! Having big hopes on you robotron!

Thanks guys! Happy NY!!!

If you click the quoted link, you'll see some details about this process, including how to try and review it in QEMU. To try it on the camera, I need to prepare a custom FIR; this being a somewhat risky process, I'm not going to make it available for everyone without testing.

This step will let you compile current ML code from source and run it as "autoexec.bin", rather than FIR. Expect outcomes similar to previous FIRs, i.e. the proof of concept code (e.g. logging, saving the raw data necessary for DNG frames in LiveView, possibly taking still pictures and so on).

One thing I forgot to mention: I'm only prepared to run this test on firmware 1.0.4. For latest version, the following task is still open:


Maybe some of you can find some time to look into it during the holidays, as I've got plenty of other stuff to catch up with.

Yeah I dont have acces to QEMU. But I am trying to find a 5D IV with 1.0.4 on it where I can run this test on.

This particular test (enabling the boot flag) is a little more risky than all the others, because it will modify the ROM. So far all other models were OK (including 5DS, 7D2, 80D, 750D, 760D and also a 200D tested privately), but obviously that's not a guarantee. Of course, if anything goes wrong, I'll do my best to recover it, but that's not a guarantee either.

Ok greats lets get this going.  How can I perform this test? Exactly? What dump should I download? Install it on a CF/SD card, plug it in a 5D IV, boot it? And thats it? Or are there some extra steps?

Thanks a lot!

Isn't it more interesting to invest in developing ML for EOS R? It is mostly the same as 5d4, but with more interesting photo and video features, like: eye tracking, rotated screen, separate video and photo settings, new processor, focus peaking, etc. And due to a new RF mount (fully backward compatible with EF) - more future proof modern camera..

No, the dynamic range of the 5D IV is better. Which is for me the most important aspect to upgrade my 5D III (and 60FPS full hd RAW would be great as well). Most users of magic lantern, dont use autofocus anyway. They use it for more filmic stituations like commercials or shortfilms,  where you have time to create your shots and not your everyday event shooting type gigs.

A1ex do you own a 5D IV? If not would it help if we buy one for you (as used prices are really cheap nowadays)?

No dropping out of your bread and butter job is not a good idea. Not sure if Alex is a freelancer. So after his current gig ends we could hire him, to work on it though. (if hes a freelancer, I dont know). If 450 people invest 20$, you already got 9000$.

If you need more 5D IV testers, let me know, then I can try to gather some more users on other forums.

I know you guys request time instead of money. But could it help if we start a fundraiser to hire extra coders? Not sure what profile is needed for this and if they need a 5D IV body in order to work efficiently. Not sure if you are a freelancer Alex? Or any of the other coders that helped in the past. I know there are no promises or if it is possible. But maybe we could just hire you guys so guys could also work on this during daytime. Again not sure how much money we are talking here. But I guess we could get a decent amount togheter worldwide.

These guys also have software for it. Maybe you can get in touch with them? Or maybe decompile their code? if that is any help at all.

Hello,

I want to replace my shuttr myself with one I can get from ebay for 60$. But is it possible to reset the shuttr count back to zero, after I have done so?

Thanks,

Hey,

I know the 5D III does not have that fast of a SD card reader/writer built in, but I was wondering, could it be possible to replace this SD card Writer by a faster one? So we can even more options out of our ould 5D III? Or is that impossible?

Thanks!

Thanks, is there a topic somewhere with tests/examples of quality drop while shooting cropped?

Hey,

With my computerbay 1066x I can only shoot continously 1080p. But could I increase resolution and still shoot continously? (50FPS at 1080p without scaling would also be more then welcome)

Thanks!

Well yeah I could care less about inbody stabilization. I already got a lot of grip to do that for me.

But I would love:
- Increase resolution
- Increase details
- Increase dynamic range
- Increase low light capabilities
- Increase slow motion capabilities

Can't we buy a 5D IV for the developers. I mean there are thousands of ML users out there, even if we all just chip in 1$. We could get one for them. And hopefully they can crack it. As for many users like myself I dont see the need to upgrade without magic lantern RAW on it.

Thanks, Yeah I EQ'ed the audio and the voice over and put a compressor on the voice over.

Thanks,

Yeah I had to scale it, and it felt off and I tweaked it until I though was right. But if you can notice it, its still off

About workflow. I had the visioncolor pp active while shooting RAW(in my case it shoots the RAW file with the pp on it). And then graded in resolve. First I denoised, then added sharpness, then I play with the shadows, then the highlights, and then the mids until I find something I like, and copied it onto all other clips and tweaked it where needed. 

Hey,

I shot this with 5D III RAW

Hello Guys,

What are the fastest CF cards for the 5D III? As my komputerbay 1066x card can only record 1920x648(50fps) and even stops recording after 10 seconds. Could I do 1920x1080p continues with a faster cf card?

Thanks!

Hello,

My 5D iii does not record any sound when I shoot RAW video? (25 fps or 50fps) What option do I need to enable to make it record sound, as I do not seem to find what the problem is?

Thanks!

Thanks with RAW2CNDG it does store every video file after each other in the same folder. So my NLE (resolve and premiere) is picking 30 video's up as one big file instead of 30 different files. Is there a way to export them in 30 different folders so I can import 30 seperate video files in my NLE?

thanks!
