Quick tip for getting more realistic benchmark results within the camera: Switch to photo mode and run the benchmark with live view turned off.

Then you should get the correct results.

Is there a way to hide the information on the top of the screen?

I checked the menu but couldn't find any option for this. Also I couldn't find anything on this board.

The listed information seems more distracting than useful.

How are you guys getting MLV files? I'm getting one .raw file and once it exceeds the 4GB it adds additional .rar files. But I'm not getting any MLV files. Which is a good thing I suppose.

These files are easily converted with Rawmagic.

I basically managed to work out all the issues. The only thing I'm now left with is the error message and the loud beeping sound when starting a video with small hacks enabled. Is there a way around this?

Great advice about the 10x magnification by the way.

did you turn on Small Hacks in raw video menu?

Thanks ted, that did the trick. I also found that instead of switching global draw off, it is possible to simply turn off overlays while recording.

This way you can still use histograms etc. while setting up a shot.

However, I'm now getting "Hack error at 0" when starting and stopping the recording. But it doesn't seem to impact anything.

Issues I've run into so far:

- No continuous recording in neither 24fps 1728 x 972, nor 25fps 1728 x 972. Switching off global draw and setting output to s-jpg didn't help either.

- 1600 x 900 seems to work continuously with 24fps and 25fps.

- Screen sometimes freezes when jumping into 10x magnification.

- I'm having issues with white lines when attaching an external monitor. These white lines / boxes obscure the image and are pretty annoying. I have no idea how to get rid of them.

Other than that I'm pretty amazed so far. Keep up the good work!

Could britom or someone perhaps make the whole folder structure with all the necessary files available for download? Perhaps these issues have something to do with using old files.


EDIT: What did you format your CF cards to? Mine used to be FAT32 and then I tried formatig it to exFAT (as with the Mark III). However in exFAT the card is not recognized by the camera.

You switched global draw off and set output to s-jpeg?

Ciao, Walter

Still drops a frame after some while

Is anyone recording 24p or 25p in 1728 x 972 continuously?

I have a Komputerbay 64GB 1000x CF card that reaches a contiuous write speed of over 80 MB/s in the benchmark. Yet I cannot record continuous 25p in 1728 x 972, which averages at 70 MB/s.
The same card has previously been used to continuously record 25fps 1080p with the 5D Mark III Raw hack. So it can't be the card.

Are there any modules that I might have to switch off? I tried siwtching off the dual_iso.mo and ettr.mo for instance, but no change.

I used these files for installation:

And then swapped these files provided by britom:

Perhaps someone who is running 1728 x 972 continuously could provide the necessary files. Or perhaps I oversaw something fundamentally.

1600 x 900 is running continuously at 25fps.


Amazing work by the Magic Lantern team and community by the way! Thanks for reviving my long dead 7D.
