Hey all, been experimenting with RAW video on a 5D Mark 2 and ML, however some things don't seem to work.

Crop Mode = When I try to zoom in 10x, it records a file that ends up looking like a seizure:

Recording in crop mode also only lets me record for 8 seconds before it "stops automagically".

As for digital dolly, how do I get it to work? I activated it in the ML menu, however when I use the joystick in crop mode and try to move the shot around, nothing happens. What gives?

Thanks!

because you don't use 10X zoom for crop mode. only 5Xzoom for 3X crop mode.
Use fps override to get longer record times.

So the 5x crop is actually only a 3x crop? (50mm becomes 150mm, not 250mm?)

There is NO 5x crop. There is only a 3X crop which you activate using 5X magnify.

Maybe this thread is dead, but...
I'm also having trouble with the digital dolly, it is activated in the ML menu but the joystick does nothing, (other than seems to work as a "back" button when pressed)
I'm using the Feb 16th build.
Anyone know if I am missing something obvious?
