Worked on my 5D3 crop_rec.c code in this branch:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/src/master/
- Refined anamorphic presets so it now gives continuous:
1808x2300(2:35.1) = 5425 x 2300
1360x2300(16:9) = 4080 x 2300
- Also adressed the battery pull issue happening when in 48fps or mv720p 3x3 mode. Workaround allows for looping through x5,x10 and back into x1 mode.
- cine.lua included
- set_25fps in crop mode sub menu working with anamorphic mode
- bitdepth modes in crop mode sub menu working for all presets
- not included sd_uhs(don´t see why sd patching would be needed with mlv_lite anyway)
In terms of image quality and performance the anamorphic mode on this camera outruns anything coming from eosm, 100d etc...
EDIT:
sd_uhs module:
Included as a module. Enable it in Modules tab. Beware that this module is extremely experimental. Use at own risk.

I added a few items to the crop_rec menu and also rearranged a few things which makes it possible to get cleaner output. Thanks to a1ex crop_rec.c code it´s possible for a player like myself to get some decent workflow out of this.
How does it work?
Pretty straight forward. If you want to shoot regular 14bit or use the regular 12/10 bit menu in RAW video you can use Crop mode menu as before. However, if you want to get cleaner iso and lowering analog gain to get 12/10bit output a different way do following:
1 - Enable crop rec and select any setting in Crop mode menu. Be sure to start off in 14bit-lossless
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FJhkZ9m0H%2FVRAM0-PPM-500px.png&hash=efdbb8ef3bb4f886b0228508fec39ea7)
2 - Press q on Crop mode menu and select any iso in there. This will result in a 13bit iso which will get you cleaner files than the regular iso. You won´t see the change by eye in liveview but comparing files recorded you´ll see the difference in shadows. By enabling iso in this submenu you will override any analog iso already set before. Set chosen iso to off if you want to get back to old iso settings
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FFsLcBN6t%2FVRAM2-PPM-500px.png&hash=b9b1398cb5cc653e6fd75e5c6c3faea8)
3 - You can now choose to add 12bit or 10bit on top of your chosen iso to further lower analog gain registers
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FXJ1FTJ3W%2FVRAM1-PPM-500px.png&hash=db3d80f39e08d1d86b89e548fb6b038d)

10bit iso 100 More or less same as iso 1600. Let´s work the other bits if you not after lowering bitrate.

Have fun! And be careful. It´s bleeding edge...
Noticed two bugs on the way when testing:
1 - When 1080p45/1080p48 3x3 is set you will get stuck in 10x zoom mode if you go there.
2 - adtg_gui.mo will interfere with slowish "framing" previewing. You need to disable adtg_gui.mo altogether to have framing mode working again.
Thanks A1ex, Levas, bilal, 70MM13 and others for contributions.

for 5D3123 , nothing ? :-\

10bit iso 100
This is actually about ISO 1500. Try comparing it with Canon's ISO 1600, in both highlights and shadows.
Yes, it's slightly better than Canon's 1600, but labeling it as ISO 100 is plain misleading, sorry to say that.
Edit: further test reveals the actual ISO is actually *above* 1600. Test files (white level tweaked manually, right before the last histogram peak):
iso1600.DNG (https://a1ex.magiclantern.fm/bleeding-edge/iso50/danne/iso1600.DNG) (unmodified Canon ISO, assumed exact)
iso100-cmos0-443.DNG (https://a1ex.magiclantern.fm/bleeding-edge/iso50/danne/iso100-cmos0-443.DNG) (estimated ISO 1527)
iso100-cmos0-443-adtg-888x-low.DNG (https://a1ex.magiclantern.fm/bleeding-edge/iso50/danne/iso100-cmos0-443-adtg-888x-low.DNG) (estimated ISO 1491)
danne-iso100-10bit.DNG (https://a1ex.magiclantern.fm/bleeding-edge/iso50/danne/danne-iso100-10bit.DNG) (estimated ISO 2043)
ISO estimation method in octave, from median value in the raw file, normalized with black and white levels (not 100% right; estimation should be done from clipping point):
[a,ea] = read_raw('iso1600.DNG'); a = a - ea.black_level; a = a / (ea.white_level - ea.black_level); median(a(:))
ans = 0.33647
[a,ea] = read_raw('iso100-cmos0-443.DNG'); a = a - ea.black_level; a = a / (ea.white_level - ea.black_level); median(a(:))
ans = 0.32112
# 1600 * 0.32112 / 0.33647 = 1527
[a,ea] = read_raw('iso100-cmos0-443-adtg-888x-low.DNG'); a = a - ea.black_level; a = a / (ea.white_level - ea.black_level); median(a(:))
ans = 0.31355
# 1600 * 0.31355 / 0.33647 = 1491
[a,ea] = read_raw('danne-iso100-10bit.DNG'); a = a - ea.black_level; a = a / (ea.white_level - ea.black_level); median(a(:))
ans = 0.42959
# 1600 * 0.42959 / 0.33647 = 2043
Edit2: further testing to figure out why Danne's picture is brighter reveals a different shutter speed when crop_rec with the "iso 100 10-bit" preset active: rather than 1/100 as dialed in Canon menu, after enabling crop_rec, shutter speed becomes 1/73.31 (as read from the Expo menu or from the DNG metadata). This gives a resulting ISO of 2043 * 73.31 / 100 = 1498, i.e. as expected.
QED, initial hypothesis confirmed.
-
Oh, quite so. Same quality more or less. Tested. 10bit a no go. Thanks for pointing out. 10bit could still be useful for lower bitrates with modes not working with anything else than 14bit lossless.
@jimiz
Updated build for 5D3123 in my above post. Not tested so please report how it works.
EDIT:
Edit: further test reveals the actual ISO is actually *above* 1600. Test files (white level tweaked manually, right before the last histogram peak):
iso1600.DNG
iso100-cmos0-443.DNG
iso100-cmos0-443-adtg-888x-low-iso1500.DNG
danne-iso100-10bit.DNG
Confirmed, slightly above 1600iso comparing your files.
That octave image analysing is really something else.
EDIT 2:
So conclusion is I have been simply rearranging the signal pushing down for instance iso 400 to iso 100(12bit setting)
200 to 100(13bit). Fools gold 8).
Well, now I pragmatically now what´s going on and had a good c code practice...
-
Ok guys, here's the proof everyone needs...
I used a manual aperture lens and made absolutely sure that both exposures are identical. This is a serious stress test.
See for yourself.
There's a bit of loss of highlights, but for practical purposes it is negligible.
I've been doing this by hand for all of my videos for the last year, and I am overjoyed to be able to do it so easily now.
Overwhelming thanks to Danne!
And of course to the wizard a1ex!

Thanks for sharing. Well, it goes like this. If you shoot at iso 100 then set it to iso 100 with gain drop you could actually then switch again to regular canon iso 200 and it should give you the same result as the one with the gain drop. Just keep the same settings, aperture, shutter(iso 200 will become brighter and classic ettr will take place). So what´s really happening here is that I have set iso hundred but in reality we are shooting iso 200. Conclusion. Fools gold 8).
One sidequestion. I know the question was asked that dual iso could be disabled for previewing purposes when entering 10xzoom mode. How would it work if dualiso previewing could act like HDR showing alternating iso image on display, high low with intervals? When hitting record dualiso should be enabled like before so it would only be a previewing feature. Even showing only base iso could be really useful, maybe even better than alternating isos.
Now that 1x3 recording is possible it´s even more useful with dualiso but previewing is a bit problematic.
-
200 stock ISO, same exposure...
The proof is in practice.

@jimiz
Updated build for 5D3123 in my above post. Not tested so please report how it works.
THANKS I will try!!! ;)
-
All three tests, zipped DNG.
Clip areas:
- 0446: 0.0863% (WL=16381)
- 0447: 0.1373% (WL=9138)
- 0618: 0.1101% (WL=16381)
Pretty sure 0447 was based on ISO 400 or greater, possibly 1600; please compare with these.
Additionally, your clipped area is extremely small. If you use a higher stock ISO, the highlight difference in the final output will be negligible. Please try.
Please consider using a lamp shining into some large flat area (such as a white wall); look at my test scene a few posts above. There, even a tiny change in ISO (e.g. from 1600 to 1500) is noticeable in clip areas, which are pretty large, btw:
iso1600.DNG: 15.34% (WL=16381)
iso100-cmos0-443.DNG: 13.98% (WL=16381)
iso100-cmos0-443-adtg-888x-low.DNG: 13.53% (WL=6040)
danne-iso100-10bit.DNG: 23.39% (WL=2885) [note: different exposure time on this one]
TLDR: please compare with stock ISO 400 and 1600.
-
At these exposures, stock 400 and especially 1600 are just a pile of noise when the shadows are lifted to my liking.
Maybe this isn't for everyone, but it sure works for me!
I'm a happy camper getting excellent results, and the last time I checked, that's what really matters...
-
Please post the DNGs.
At these exposures, stock 400 and especially 1600 have much cleaner shadows than stock 100 or 200. Please try them.
-
Stock 400 did surprisingly well, but not as good as Danne 100.
Stock 1600 was unusable when pushed. Not worth the data...
For me, 100 with clean shadows is heaven :)
Here's the DNG:

Please make sure you use the same shutter speed, aperture, scene light and so on. Otherwise, the test is not relevant.
This last file shows 1/1000 exposure time; previous ones were at 1/62.5.
If scene light is no longer the same as in the original test, please capture the entire sequence again, at stock ISO 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600, and at whatever settings you have used for Danne's ISO 100 (not known to me at the time of writing). Also, please minimize the camera movement (not with subpixel accuracy, but the test images should have the same framing).
Anyway, crop area in the last file is 0.1349%; not sure whether to consider it or not, given the different exposure time.
-
I did a bunch of tests and found that the benefits are primarily for 100, falling off to equal by 400.
I was exposing to the right in the tests, using the bulb as the reference point by eye at 10X zoom, adjusting first by increasing the f stop and then by shutter speed when I hit the aperture limit.
I also don't know what Danne has done "under the hood", and so it may be that the test is invalid for actual ISO comparison.
Until today, I've been doing this by hand with the iso registers using your modules, knowing for example that I'm dropping 200 to 109, my most common setting.
I know exactly how well that works for me in extremely challenging circumstances, and I know that the iso 109 I am using really acts like 109 but with cleaner shadows.
I have to get back to the editor. Hopefully something good will come from this, I know that I will be using it!
-
Not by my computer atm. If running yesterday build I think stock iso 400 equals to setting iso to 100 in submenu. Leave out 12/10 bit.
If running todays build I am now focusing on getting continuous shooting rather than trying move isos around.
A1ex is right. Lowering analog gains compensating with pushing higher isos will only move base iso etc to another place. Getting cleaner files will need tweaking of other registers. The analog gains however is still a major player when getting continuous to 1x3 modes and modes that doesn't work with regular 10-14bits workflows.
-
I also don't know what Danne has done "under the hood", and so it may be that the test is invalid for actual ISO comparison.
Analog gain lowered and CMOS[0] overridden for higher ISOs; see his commit.
For example, ISO 100 presets are:
- with his "iso100" option enabled: CMOS[0] as for ISO 200, analog gain 512
- with "iso100" + "12-bit": CMOS[0] as for ISO 400, analog gain 250
- with "iso100" + "10-bit": CMOS[0] as for ISO 1600, analog gain 60
I believe you have use one of the last two presets, just not sure which one.
In my tests, reducing analog gain only improves things by about 0.1 EV.
In other words, I'm pretty sure the results you were getting were 0.1 EV actual improvements, and 1.5 ... 3 stops were misunderstandings (possibly coming from the mislabeled ISO values in crop_rec menu). I wanted to prove it on your own images, but that requires identical test conditions for each setting (which you did not provide).
You made a very strong statement:
Ok guys, here's the proof everyone needs...
yet, you did not provide a valid proof.
I'm a happy camper getting excellent results, and the last time I checked, that's what really matters...
Yet, this particular topic (ISO tweaks) was about getting results *better* than with stock Canon ISOs.
My argument is that, in Danne's build, the improvement is about 0.1 EV over stock Canon ISOs (according to my measurements). In your example, the shadow difference is much stronger than that, but I'm pretty sure that difference is *not* an improvement over stock Canon ISOs (except for that 0.1 EV, which is not going to be noticeable without careful examination).
There's a bit of loss of highlights, but for practical purposes it is negligible.
Pretty sure the loss is about 1.9 EV if you have used the 12-bit "iso100", or 3.9 EV if you have used 10-bit "iso100". Clearly negligible ;)
-
My statements were not in the right context. My fault.
I was referring to my experiences with reduced gain by hand, not with Danne's experiment. I have only used it to take those test shots. It seemed like it was behaving the same way, which it may indeed, but I was going by my impression of how it behaves the same way under the familiar test conditions.
It may be that on a statistical level, the reduced gain is only marginally better, but in practice, I find it vastly superior. There's still noise in the shadows, but it's more like film grain, and it is usable when pushed hard. I can't do the same with stock ISO.
It works for me.
-

No, it does not.
Besides, your test scene is not ideal for comparing different ISOs, simply because the clipped area is extremely small. On your test image, whether you use ISO 100 or 400, it doesn't make a big difference in highlights (the clipped area was close to 0.1% in both cases). This is exactly why you said:
There's a bit of loss of highlights, but for practical purposes it is negligible.
Yet, the difference in highlights between these two ISOs is 2 full stops. In your test scene, these two stops are on the tiny light bulb; that's why you found the highlight difference to be negligible. In other scenes, the last 2 stops may cover a very large area of the image.
I'm still asking you to capture a full set of DNG images, with the same exposure time, on your test scene, at the following settings:
- stock ISO 100
- stock ISO 200
- stock ISO 400
- stock ISO 1600
- Danne's ISO 100 (all 3 flavors)
- the preset you use with manual tweaking from iso_regs
I bet you'll have a little surprise at ISO 1600. You'll be tempted to try 3200 and 6400. Not joking.
Caveats:
- enabling both crop_rec and iso_regs at the same time does not work; if you enable both and then disable one of them, it won't work either.
- enabling Danne's crop_rec will alter the shutter speed; to cross-check with iso_regs you may have to use the shutter fine-tuning feature.
Just make sure shutter speed is set to Original (not Full Range) in crop_rec menu.
-
- enabling Danne's crop_rec will alter the shutter speed; to cross-check with iso_regs you may have to use the shutter fine-tuning feature.
I wonder why it messes with the shutter speed and was wondering if it could be the case that if 'full range' option is selected in crop_rec, it messes with shutter time. And could it be that if this option is set to 'original' it won't mess with shutter speed ?
-
Since there is still some interest in doing tests around my lowering gain builds I reupload them as they were published a few posts back:

https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_5D3123_presets.zip
Feel free to do the tests suggested by a1ex two posts above but be sure to use the builds above. No time personally atm for testing.
I also uploaded two other versions which works pretty similar but with a few personal rearrangements which are to be considered a work in progress:

On a sidenote it would be cool if we now could continue testing pregain etc and see if we could get it rightly done. I have to little experience in this field but got a few hints and pointers here:

That's correct. My bad, forgot this setting enabled.

Keep an eye on the iso-research (https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/branch/iso-research) branch.
My experimental modules (https://builds.magiclantern.fm/modules.html#iso-research) (iso_regs, raw_diag and adtg_gui) are compatible with crop_rec_4k and derived builds (including Danne's build), btw.

Have been trying to get 1x3 binning mode to work with increased height on the 100D the but have been running out of ideas. No matter how I tweak registers I cannot move above 1736x1188 before I get either corrupted recordings, every other white, the next contains image content or if going higher I get completely white live view image.
Commit here:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/commits/a6170f148121d281b9b17a807f264f7afce038d3?at=crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets
Now I tried changing around a lot in raw.c. Testing excluding height-- among other stuff but this don´t seem to help.
Is there anything in the timing registers that could be tweaked or did I hit roof at height 1188?
-
Unsure if it could help but you might try to define timer A+B (https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/src/a6170f148121d281b9b17a807f264f7afce038d3/src/fps-engio.c?at=crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets&fileviewer=file-view-default#fps-engio.c-253) to it's orig value. Maybe my customisations interfere somehow.
-
Might very well be. SOrry but what are the timer A+B original values?
Tried this but not really helping:
#elif defined(CONFIG_100D)
#define TG_FREQ_BASE 32000000
#define FPS_TIMER_A_MIN (fps_timer_a_orig)
#undef FPS_TIMER_B_MIN
// no need to cause confusions as recording speed cannot handle such high fps in crop mode
// (ZOOM || MV1080CROP ? 1288 : 1970)) <-- these are ok while not recording.
// Hybrid CMOS AF II uses 60fps by default in LV/MV for the camera display
// to achieve a "snappy" autofocus by doubling the fps
// MV720 is not LV so we need to extend the definition for the LCD.
#define FPS_TIMER_B_MIN (fps_timer_b_orig)

Hello all,
I was finally able to borrow a 5D3 for testing the latest very exciting 1x3 recording developments but only for a very short time - I have to return it tomorrow. Nonetheless, I thought, it might help if I provide some feedback on what I was able to test in that short time.
I tested briefly the two 17fps options in Danne's build:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_5D3113_presets-ver2.zip
and all I can say is that this is another break through for Magic Lantern. I would have never dreamed of shooting at 400/3200 Dual ISO at 1,0 crop factor and get usable results. Not only are they usable and quite clean, but also look very natural compared to previous techniques for improving dynamic range which in most cases provided very HDR-ish looking images. In my opinion, this 1x3 technique, in combination with Dual ISO, provides a radical solution to low-light shooting high-quality FHD video in RAW without or with very little noise in the shadows. I don't think, too many of the professional cinema cameras can do that. Congratulations to all of you making this possible!
Also, I greatly appreciate Danne's efforts to provide continuous recording options, even at the expense of reduced frame rate. There is nothing more annoying than early camera stops in the middle of a shooting. And I don't think that 17 fps is that much of a problem. Human eye accepts everything above 12 fps as motion and earlier silent movies were shot at 16 fps. I shot a wedding film recently that I filmed at 18 fps and nobody noticed that. Nowadays we also have quite good optical flow techniques. Of course, if you do a lot of camera motion, (slider, gimbal, flycam work, etc., requiring fast camera motion) you may end up with some choppy results but there is a solution to that too. Motion should be slower for 17 fps, compared to 24 fps, and as smooth as possible, so training is required. If you shoot from a tripod, monopod or even handheld and do not shake the camera too much, results are indistinguishable from 24 fps and the motion blur of moving objects in the scene really looks nice. So, 17 fps is not necessarily a bad thing!
I didn't have time to test all the options, especially the 10/12-bit ones at different ISOs in the crop menu - this requires a lot of time and very systematic efforts to pixel peep all combinations and select the ones that provide the cleanest results with the highest dynamic range. I hope that other 5D3 owners will jump in with more test results very soon which will be of great help to the developers. However, I did test some of the high-resolution crop modes (I use them all the time, especially with the 100D) and am sorry to say that they are all broken in the above build. The 3k crop mode that I have been successfully using to film the wedding at 3072x1728 resolution and 18 fps does not seem to be working at all. It does not allow me to set any resolution but stays all the time at 0x0. The 4k and Full-resolution Live View modes seem to be kind of working but the results are horrible - a lot of aliasing along horizontal and vertical edges, noise and loss of resolution - both, in the normal and Dual ISO modes. Camera operation in those modes is very unstable either - lots of camera freezes requiring battery pulls. These high-res crop modes used to work very well even in the very early builds from April 2017.
At this time I would make the following suggestion to A1ex and the other developers: Please try to implement working 17 fps presets from Danne's build above into one of the experimental 5D3 builds. Please use the July 4-th build #78 that you can find here:
https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Experiments/job/crop_rec_4k/
The later ones, including the July 22-nd build, do not seem to be working properly - lots of instabilities. Once such an experimental build works properly and is stable enough, I am sure many professional 5D3 video shooters will start working with it and will greatly appreciate it. This is because they will have a very powerful tool in their hands that they will use for a long time in their work. This is the dream of every video shooter, including me. I would like to see a build that can provide the following modes:
1) Normal 1,0 crop factor FHD (1920x1080) RAW video with maximum quality and minimum noise that can be used in low-light conditions with Dual ISO. The 17 fps presets already do that;
2) 3x-crop FHD (1920x1080) RAW video (1:1 mode) that will allow me to quickly change the focal length of my lens from 1 to 3x on a push of a button without changing lenses or using heavy zooms. A 35/F2 IS lens is perfect for that and I use it all the time switching from 35 to 105mm focal length.
3) A 3k mode that I can use at 3072x1728 resolution and 18 fps for continuous recording (also with Dual ISO). This one is perfect for capturing scenes with a lot of fine detail (group shots with 50 or more people on them, landscape videography, etc.). Here is a film of the ancient city of Plovdiv that I made recently and that was filmed in that mode with the #78 build:
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Grpx/iLK4KHaKi
(To watch it in the highest quality, please download it with the "Скачать" button from the top left of the above link).
4) A Full-resolution Live View mode with up to 5 fps continuous recording for smooth timelapses.
5) The usual 50/60 fps modes
For the beginning, 14-bit lossless compression would be perfect but wherever 13, 12 or 10 bit lossless could be implemented, would be very welcome to reduce file size.
And one final thought. Now that we have all the above functions more or less working and ready to use and we are close to the ultimate quality ML RAW video, in my opinion, future research should be directed towards increasing the interface bandwidth for higher frame rates and/or higher continuous recording resolutions. This can be done in two ways:
A. Reimplementing card spanning on the 5D3. I don't know why this extremely useful function was removed;
B. CF-card overclocking in a way similar to SD-card overclocking on the 100D - a God sent function.
It also would be very useful to create similar builds for other camera models such as the 100D, 7D, 650D and others. The 5D3 is still quite expensive and the majority of ML users, including me, use the other camera models. We all would love to see a long time awaited update to our cameras too in a way similar to what Bilal did with the 700D already.
Please let me know what you think about my suggestions.

Thanks for feedback IDA_ML. I checked and surely a lot of presets were broken. I readded all my presets to the crop_rec.c from crop_rec_4k branch and added it to my branch instead. Seems to work better:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/commits/8846065dfd242f82de3942cc3295f5f33225f7e4

https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_5D3123_presets.zip
In addition to 1x3 presets and isostuff in the submenu following is added:
- Added changes for 1920x1080 48 fps
- Changed following registers:
adtg_new[8] = (struct adtg_new) {6, 0x8179, nrzi_encode(fps_timer_b - 5) }; /* PowerSaveTiming OFF (5D3/6D/700D) adtg_new[9] = (struct adtg_new) {6, 0x8197, nrzi_encode(fps_timer_b - 5) }; /* PowerSaveTiming OFF (5D3) */
One very annoying bug is when camera mode is set to mv720p. Zooming will require battery bull when trying to get out of x10 zoom mode after previewing. No idea why it gets stuck. Happens with crop_rec presets.
-
In addition to the previous bug I also noticed that "framing" preview isn't working when hdr is set. Anybody can confirm? Known issue a1ex? Really useful working when using 1920x1080p 48fps.
Also uploaded builds which should be more stable shooting with above mentioned setting.
-
Danne,
I now remember one more bug that I noticed when I had the 5D3 in my hands but just forgot to report it in my post #1954 above. It concerns "Full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 7.4 fps" which is very useful for shooting smooth timelapse sequences at low frame rates using the full sensor resolution. When activated, this mode records just one single frame and then camera stops. This behavior is observed at any resolution set. In older builds (those from April, 2017) this Full-resolution LiveView mode was working just fine, providing continuous recording at 5 fps as also stated on the Experimental page. A fix should be greatly appreciated.
-
Now you mention it, I've made a full resolution live view crop preset for 6d.
And it behaves the same as the 5d3, only one frame is recorded.
The 6d has about 250Mb of free buffer, so you would at least expect to fit about 7 uncompressed frames in that buffer ??? (Not sure when lossless kicks in, is that before or after the buffer ?)
-
Hi Danne,
Can I use, your latest crop_rec.c to eos m if I build your "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets" branch build to eos m?
thank you for Your hard work! :)
-
For eosm it's the same presets as with crop_rec_4k.
-
Danne,
I have been inspecting the files that I shot on the 5D3 with the latest 1x3 crop modes recently and found that now the 5D3 is one BIG step closer to perfection. The Crop ISO (CISO) settings work so well in providing clean shadows that the results are really amazing. Here are a few more minor issues that need to be fixed to get the dream 5D3 video shooting build:
1) The 6400 CISO setting still has vertical stripes in the shadows. If these could be fixed and just the noise is left, this high CISO setting may be a life savior in some really dark situations, especially keeping in mind that Resolve does a pretty good job with noise cleaning. Please note that the CISOs 3200 and lower settings are perfect already - no vertical stripes at all.
2) MLVApp does not recognize and report the correct CISO at which the clip was shot. It reports Dual ISO 100/800 all the tme, regardless of what CISO was used.
I also have a few questions:
I. We now have the possibility to use the normal FHD MLV RAW video mode with Canon's ISOs and the mv1080p_ mv720p mode with CISO and Canon's ISOs. What exactly is the difference between these two modes and does one of them provide advantages vs. the other in terms of video quality (fine detail, dynamic range, etc.)?
II. Do the CISO settings apply to all crop modes in the Crop menu? Will they clean the Shadows of the high-resolution modes in the same way and strength as they do with the mv1080p_ mv720p mode?
III. I have noticed that it is possible to activate several CISO settings at the same time - e.g. the 200 and the 1600 setting. Which one will be applied in this case? Could these clean CISOs be used to also make Dual ISO with two CISO settings simultaneously active?
IV. This question is for A1ex and is actually a tool request. Would it be possible to add an indicator showing how much space is left on the CF card while recording? In the 1x3 crop modes the 5D3 eats card space for breakfast and you never know when you will run out of card space.
V. I understand that there are problems with overclocking the CF-card interface. Would it be possible to overclock the SD-card interface instead? If it could be overclocked to say 30 MB/s and card spanning could be applied, then the 5D3 would write at a speed of about 150 MB/s and this would significantly increase continuous recording times at the high-resolutions and continuous recording at 24 fps at the 1920x3240 1x3 mode would be possible.
VI. Danne, could you please provide some more information on how to use the "Shutter range" and the "Advanced options" in the Crop menu? In what situations should those be used?
Thanks.

Since my iso experiments was built on faulty assumptions about how analog gain registers and analog iso registers were related I decided to simply erase those code parts in following builds:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_5D3113_presets.zip
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_5D3123_presets.zip
What still is valid testing and developing is 1x3 presets together with playing around with analog gain registers creating 10/12 bit. Those two settings can still be found in the sub menu of crop mode.
In a longer perspective iso tweaking is still valid and could be developed further I´m sure. I might dig into this and revive some code parts in crop_rec later on but without mislabeling menu items.

CF (KB1066x) card seems to be working/saving fine when I revert to a previous 4K_crop-rec Danne build 2/4/19 :)
Still odd…
Try fomatting card in camera (non exfat) reinstall clean build.

now it works im not sure what i had done in my first test. now i just clean install and turn on the anarmophic preset in crop rec and no more greenish black preview. i have a very slow 4gb cf card atm. wil test more as soon a i recieved another card
Yes, bleeding edge stuff. Faster card will probably help. I set regs all over the place. A safety press on menu button and thrashcan once in a while to settle all regs won´t hurt too.
-

Tried this. Get a Canon menu error:

Yes, am saving to the CF card (1)
Still getting CARD FULL in top left of ML menu when I press record in any res. My CF card has been faultless til today.
Files into MLV App produce error: 'File header is missing: invalid MLV" or "file length too short Invalid MLV'

Sorry to hear but I suspect this is the reason but I can´t say for sure why it would break your card:

That I copied only the crop_rec.mo file?
I've done that before without issue…
Have I tanked something?

Tried formatting your card to fat32 (or fat, can´t remember exactly what it´s called) on computer and then format in camera?
Well, I can´t say what would work or not here. It´s all guesswork atm.

Yes! See four posts above. :)
-
Your answer indicates formatiing in camera but not on computer to fat. Do you have another card you can test my build on? If that´s working clearly your card is having an issue.
-
Oh right, sorry. Did you mean FAT32 instead of exFAT? Thought it needed to be exFAT?
-
Oh man, we need @Water Schultz on this one. Find one of his rescue procedures and see if that will work.

I'm going to revert to previous build and see if I can get back the status-quo!

Clean format of KB1066x CF card in mac to exFAT
Clean re-install of previous 4K_crop-rec Danne build 2/4/19 on SD card
All seems restored and working – except for one shot which didn't respond to stop button. Restarted camera, shot a few more tests at various res. All import working into MLVApp.
Tried a different Sandisk Extreme CF card with current state – all is well.
Totally weird! :o But very happy my camera is still alive! :)

Still very unclear but I would say nothing is wrong with the ml builds. One thing is for sure. I would never trust that KB card.

Try a windows formatting:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5473.msg171046#msg171046
Seems different card readers can affect too. Doesn´t really matter that it worked perfect until today. Suddenly issues starts to happen.
-
Try a windows formatting:
Didn't know that – interesting! Will look into it, but I need a PC!
Does anyone know when formatting on mac whether the eXFAT scheme is crucial? (e.g. GUID, Master Boot Record, APM)
-
Sorry, haven't much time (and it doesn't look like I can help).
Formatting with ExFAT will enable Exfat on low capacity cards where Canon's firmware denies to apply Exfat within its own format routine. A1ex has a patch for it.
But I'm afraid it will not rectify the situation with given card. I had CFs going south without rhyme or reason. No expertise in flash CPR, sorry.

i can increase fps override til 39fps in full HD without any corrupt/pink frames
-
Hey @andy kh with below mode you can do 45 or 48 fps mv1080p depending on if in 50fps(pal) or 60fps(ntsc) mode.
1080p45/1080p48 3x3
Worked before with 48fps 1920x1080 but reverted back to 1920x1040 because om pink frames.

Posted two new builds:

Mainly I separated 45/48fps modes into two and they run in either 50 or 60p mode. Upscaled 48fps to 1060p:

-
@danne problem wit 45/48fps is the live view. If i set to real time framing is not correct and if i set to framing live view is not in real time so very difficult to shoot a moving object in practical.
If i increase the fps in 1080p mode i get real time preview wit correct framing. There may be a way to increase the fps beyond 40
-
Wil try your new builds tomorrow as im away from home atm
And today i get greenish black live view while recording wit your yesterday's build. I was shooting 3.5k.

Do note that preview will look a bit greenish because of the workaround to get bitdepth reduced with analog gain regs. Shouldn´t be almost black anymore though and image files will look good.

the live view gets much darker as soon as i hit the record button making me difficult to shoot outdoor but not completely black anymore
-
Well from now on I expect some deeper feedback and testing. I will check into it myself som more though. I do see some extra greenish stuff happening. WIll look.
MAny of the presets can be run with the ordinary implementation of bitdepth changes so if that´s the case it will solve workaround issues.

very strange as framing in real time works only in ntsc . i have been testing in pal. today i tried both and found that framing in real timein pal is not correct
-
Are you referring to 45/48 fps presets? They are not gonna show the correct full mv1080p real time live view. They will behave the same both in pal and ntsc so don´t know what you are getting. Please film your screen or do more tests and explain further in detail.
Real time limitations known already since building the preset being in mv720p mode will yield faster fps.
-
now i understand
i tried in 60p and i get 1920 by 800 whereass in pal i get 1920 by 818 so in 60p the bottom is crop by 18
and its very near to what i see in real time
now i can get exact framing in any mode by goin to reg_skip_botton and increase the number by 350
-
Well increasing reg_skip_bottom also removes resolution.
Uploaded two new builds. Fixed some testing stuff I forgot to erase which affected mv720p modes.
Trying to fight the greenish tint but the regs I use for this on eosm and 100D is not very effective on 5D3. Will take a deeper look into this when I can.

Hey man. Thanks for reporting bugs and such.

i stil cant shoot in 50fps with your latest build. 60fps is fine. i have been shooting 60fps for the last couple of hours without issue. just tried 50fps this evening and i get some error which is very strange. if i restart the camera canon setting jumps to ntsc from pal. i tried setting to pal again and shoot at 50fps and whenever i get this error i try restarting and jumps to ntsc

- Minor change. Maybe it affects 50fps mode positively. Can´t test, no cam here.
Changing between PAL and NTSC is like you describe sometimes not really changing and goes back on restart. Because of this I want to separate 45/48, 50/60 fps to independent presets. This means they can be run in either ntsc or pal as long as camera is set to mv720p. 45/48 is already like this but havn´t had the time for the other two.
Anyway. When I tested myself before it seemed to work. Are you using 5D3.1.1.3? Maybe reinstall?
If people are testing please take alook at 50/60 fps mode and report back if working or not.
About your screenshot it´s related to compression handling in mlv_lite.c. Something is affecting it so it correctly reports files are getting corruption issues.
And as always. Changing presets also likes pushing canon menu button to settle regs...

Awesome!
Is it possible to have these presets (45/48/50/60 FPS) in 1920 1:1 ?

Might be. I could have a look in implementing the x3crop in Crop mode sub menu similar to how it's done for eosm.

Awesome!

mv720p mode and x3zoom seems restricted to reduced height like what you get when in mentioned 1920 1:1 mode. I have a hard time figuring out a1ex pack modes on cmos regs but maybe once those numbers are "decrypted" we can revert to some more obvious numbers and start constructing more freely.
EDIT: Nudged cmos1 and some other regs and seems I´m on to something. Stay tuned. I post when I gt something working.

Key are these two regs combined or resolution looks like sheit:
adtg_new[3] = (struct adtg_new) {6, 0x8000, 5 + reg_8000};
adtg_new[17] = (struct adtg_new) {2, 0x8806, 0x6088};
- x3crop now works with higher frame rates 45/48/50/60 fps. Simply be in one of the mentioned presets in mv720p and then select x3crop from within Crop mode sub menu:

Hi Danne, just to say thank you for the work you do (and all FM devs of course), I've got a 5dmkIII and last week I needed 720p footage at 48FPS, so I've just overwritten my previous ML 113(experimental, the 4K raw video recording 22-7-18) and the 2 hours shooting (not continuous) went all great!!
I'm going to update in the next days as long as you go on coding...
-
- Refined anamorphic presets so it now gives continuous:
1808x2300(2:35.1) = 5425 x 2300

Wow, this one is awesome! Works without problems.
Hope, sometimes we'll have a realtime liveview to have a possibility to shoot moving objects, not only static frames from tripod.
Thanks for your job!!
-
Yes, 5D3 can produce some heavy resolutions.
There's real time preview by the way. If in framing mode press halfshutter for cropped real time preview.

Yes, I understand what you mean, but what is a real purpose for such a preview? The proportions aren't correct, we can only see a massively stretched top part of an image.
-
Part of the workaround technique. Framing is done from real buffer very slow and focusing can be done while holding halfshutter while recording. Then back into framing again. In and out. I can work with that and capture pretty much anything I want.

Danne, for me continuous recording in anamorphic 1600X2332< 16:9! :) :) :) another way round to preview framing before recording is press hold the AF Lock button (the lens should be in AF Mode)Cheers...
-
Yes. That should work just fine but not really 16:9 when upsampled in post :).
-
I am not certain if it is possible, to drop resolution for a higher FPS.
For instance 1280x720 @ 96FPS
-
Is it possible to enable proxy recording from 1920 3x3 preset?
-
What exact preset are you referring to?
When using proxy recording function also make sure you are selecting 2nd card(SD) in canon menu. This way proxy goes to sd and raw to CF.
-
I've tried your latest build with 2:35.1 10bit lossless 25fps (i've got 1720x2200 px).
When I enable proxy - it's stretched and cropped. I understand, that it's somehow made from 1x3 proportions, that's why it's not usable. So, I assume, aren't these two processes independent (MLV and proxy)? Can't we somehow use nice proxies from Alex's build 1920 (3x3) with your 1x3 raw 1720x2200 px?
-
Na, that would mean a corrected liveview output parallell to shooting raw. The holy graal if you so like ;)
-
Hi, Danne!
I'm sorry, maybe it was mentioned before, but I cannot find an information about what your lua script exactly do? I mean step-by-step
-
Why not test it? It sets optimised settings for anamorpic 2.39:1 recordings.
-
Why not test it? It sets optimised settings for anamorpic 2.39:1 recordings.
I did try. But I shoot mostly with 2.35:1, so I want to be sure, if I change 2.39 to 2.35, I won't mess anything else.
-
No. That's fine. Once you run the script you are free to change anything after.

Once you run the script you are free to change anything after.
So, what the script is actually doing? Can I do the same manually from ML menu?
I'm just curious, it would be nice to read some description of it. But if you're busy, don't bother ;)
-
Yes, manually. It's only a helper script to get going. Originally created eosm on mind.

Anyone knows how to record continuous at 14-bit lossless at 1440p 24fps? I get pinky/black preview on my LCD screen.
These are my selected settings:
Global draw: liveview
fps override: 24 fps
crop mode: 4K 1:1 and x3crop set
RAW video:
2656x1494
16:9
14-bit lossless
preview: realtime
croprec preview: auto mode
kill global draw on
sound on at 48khz
Any tips on what I am doing wrong?

With a slight modification of the aspect ratio (1:2 in raw menu and 2.35 in crop rec menu) and resolution to 1808x2300 in 14-bit lossless of the cinema lua script I managed to get automatically the following in MLVapp:
5424x2300
Just to make sure I have understood this script correctly. Does this signify that the streching by 3-fold 1808x2300 to 5424x2300 does not result in any loss of pixels? Meaning that pixels had been squeezed and then streched back making this true genuine 4k footage?
-
I've used the cinema lua script using an external monitor. The issue I am having is to see the lower end of my footage. I know that there is a stretching going on vertically, which is why I cannot see the lower end of the filmed footage. Is there a way to say shrink the entire frame so that the lower end can be seen? Any other solution?
-
1. iso climb: in menu it is mentioned INFO(5D3), but it does nothing
2. x3crop toggle (halfshutter press (5d3)) in Press down or Set mode: x10crop not compatible with x3toggle - but i'm not in x10crop
-
There is a misprint for iso climb: in menu it is mentioned INFO(5D3), but it does nothing
Is this related to the 2019July20 or 2019Oct13 build from @Danne's bitbucket download page?

Removed: x3 crop toggle, iso climb.
All good stuff still in there so shouldn´t make any difference.

Thanks a lot for all the good job you're doing.
I'm testing a lot of your builds, and this one will be tested tonight. I'll be putting a review.
Danne, if you need me to test something special feel free to ask. As I'm a developer too I'll try to clone and build your version myself.
-
Ok, sounds good. General tests of the presets please go ahead. Not all sub menu items will work here and I am not up to date with this branch atm since I put all focus lately into the eos m. If you and others can find bugs and start working on fixes just go ahead. I will help out with pointers etc.
-
I've just tried to compile on debian testing, the classic unified branch for 5DM123.
I had to comment out the include module_strings, because the file is not present and it gives a compilation error.
Make zip made me a zip, I do not yet have a working qemu to test it, it'll come soon !
-
Edit:
Everything is working so far, with your branch build on my debian.
I don't get how I can correctly fork your branch and see it on bitbucket. We'll see what to do on that.

Part of the workaround technique. Framing is done from real buffer very slow and focusing can be done while holding halfshutter while recording. Then back into framing again. In and out. I can work with that and capture pretty much anything I want.
I tried 2019Oct15.5D3113 and 2019Oct15.5D3113. This feature is very very useful but sometimes(mostly) does not work for me. When it works and after pressing half shutter, it backs streched view again.
When I run your Lua script, everythings are fine and recording is ok. Low fps and laggy preview but at least not streched, framing is good. (I can get 5424x2270 24fps 10bit/12bit continuous)
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FY8bpTcH%2Fcropped.png&hash=b42e572bbcb072991daf6aa7031d1052)
When pressing half shutter for focusing:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FvHmvBLT%2Fstreched.png&hash=f7ba5b4cf065a615aa5e8d8f9366d770)
And it stucks there. I can't see correct framed version again. Sometimes works 1-2 times, then streched view again. Also freezing camera when change aspect ratio on crop_rec menu.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

I don´t know if you have x10 focus aid enabled. Try disabling that if it´s the case.

Tried both on and off. Nothing changed. But for now i use zoom button 2 times then focusing. Not best solution and very slow, but works.[emoji3]
May I ask, do you use 123 or 113?

Screen recordings preferred that shows your issues. Too much guesswork.

I guess i found the problem. It’s about adtg_ui module. I disabled the module and everything works expected.
Does this module use any code with your crop_rec? I tested and looks fine. Just want to know.
Thanks again Danne!
-
Ah, yes. It will interfere with framing. Good catch. I should remove this module as it´s only needed for when looking for registry nad development.

@Danne
Thanks for new build 'crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Oct15.5D3113.zip'
If I use with iso_regs.mo ON I get strange behaviour of liveview: e.g. in Anamorphic 1360x2300, the liveview image changes its centre point and becomes squished up. Turning iso_regs OFF and restart resets the liveview to normal behaviour.
Is iso_regs not designed to work with crop_rec.mo now?
-
Both adtg_gui and, also seemingly, iso_reg module, will affect outcome in some way. Have no idea why so feel free to take a look if you have the time.
-
@Danne Righto. Thanks. Maybe something's changed, as previous versions seemed to play nicely with iso_regs.
-
If so, try to narrow down the build where it starts to break.
-
@Danne
Reverted to an older build to try and trace errors with iso_regs. Have only got a backup of crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Apr02.5D3113.zip which on my camera is buggy with compression errors. Errors go when I update to most recent – but then whenever iso_regs is enabled the crop_rec previews are all messed up.
Trying to find more recent builds from July19 (which were working well on my camera) on your downloads but can't find them. Have you taken them down?
-
I can't keep every build. I'd prefer users to take time to compile on their own so I guess if this issue is important enough to fix you simply learn to compile. No priority over here. Need to focus on other things. Good luck.
-
Ok. I hear you. Thanks!
-
@Danne I'm going to try to have a go and jump into ML dev. :o I've installed via your compiler.app as per here https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=21882.0
The example given at 7) is for 17 EOSM.202
Could you give me some pointers how I'd change this to recompile your earlier Jul22 4K_crop_rec build for 5D3113 ?
Thanks!
PS I have managed to compile today's build, but am stuck on how to find an earlier build!
-
Good. I didn't include jumping around in source tree in any easy way with compiler.app so it needs to be done in terminal. You can also work from atlassian source tree gui. In there you can see commits and doubleclick back in time.
Sorry, not a lot of time lately...
-

Thanks!
Lots of stuff I don't understand there! I know you're time-poor at moment so could anyone else point out how I work in the source tree gui to compile a specific build?
Thanks
***UPDATE***
I've searched back to find the commit for Jul22 and have managed to download a zip of this by doing https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/get/f0e391b.zip
Now I have this folder, I need to compile it into the final zip… How do I do this?
-
I've got Danne's "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Jul20.5D3113" build. If you need it I can upload it somewhere.
-
@DeadEyeJedi I have got my install working to the same level as seen in this video now. What I'd like to know is how to compile a build from an earlier commit date in Danne's repo. Do you or anyone else know how? :o
Cheers all!
-
If you downloaded and got into the correct branch you can still compile from compiler.app after you select a new historical commit. I advice to use Source tree:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FTPgQQ0hY%2FScreenshot-2019-10-28-at-18-05-11-png-scaled.png&hash=09f4a82e8efd441d6b371c09efe30132)
-
@Danne
Thanks. I have sourcetree installed now.
I'm doing: Open > Remote > Clone a repository > https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern > Destination: /Users/me/magic-lantern
From here I don't know how to select the historical commit or compile. Any pointers?
Thanks.
-
hg update [name of the branch you want to switch on, without the braces]
make clean
make zip
It can complain about module_strings.h missing. On debian testing as I don't know very much yet about it, I commented the include and got it to compile.
I take pointers if any.
-
Hmm. Thanks, but that just gets me the current files.
In sourcetree:
1) I have cloned the branch to my local repo
2) Found the commit point (rev 19200) from which I want to compile
3) Image shows my options:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLiEctKach9jIPcELzfzMGcjtdMwTJtx/view?usp=sharing
I think what I want is 'checkout' but I don't see that option – and I don't want to break the internet by pressing the wrong button! :o
I'm also not sure when I switch from Sourcetree app to Danne's Compiler.app to do the compiling.
Any help gladly received. Thanks.
Tim
-
1 - In compiler.app source tree needs to be here:
crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets
2 - On top of Source tree gui in your picture where it says "All branches" also select crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets
3 - Double click backwards on any commit back in time and source will get updated into the past revisions
4 - Go back into compiler.app and compile
-
Thanks @Danne :)
When I double clicked on the commit point the message said: 'Switching working copy' (Hope this is correct)
Then I compiled with compiler.app
The resultant compiled zip is labelled with today's date rather than the date of the commit. e.g. crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Oct29.5D3113.zip
Is this correct?

Hi Danne and everyone involved, been following a lot of your work , especially with the eos M. And i thank you all so much for it. Workinh wonders.
I just bought myself a used mark iii. And tried the anamorphic mode, its awesome and the noise is so much cleaner in low light. And image quality superb. Love it. So happy, thanks guys.
I have one question about the anamorphic build, using the latest, on a 1.2.3 firmware.
I tried to understand the problem by reading this thread all over twice but i might not fully understand. When i use the anamorphic mode , the liveview halfshutter x10 works great, and zooms into the center of the image. But the ordinary liveview is focused on a different area, the upper part of the frame, so i cant really know exactly where the middle point of my shot is. Is this a thing that can be changed or is it ”common” knowledge to use the method of combininh halfshutter back and forth to know where center point rly is?
Hope it makes sense
Kind regards
S

There's certainly room for improvements. Check out 2blackbar managing to find center spot for anamorphic mode on the eosm. Same should be doable for the 5diii.

Hey Danne Great work, Cheers, I should try the iso average etc asap. :)
About the centered liveview, It doesn't seem to be centered to me yet. (I don't think my account has the permission to upload images so I can't really show you.)
But to explain in words - When I zoom in 10x to center, it shows another center then what is showing in Live View. The center is further up than the actual center.
Have anyone else got other results?
//Chris

Centre while recording better. Also if holding down halfshutter. X10 zoom follows its own protocol.

@Danne
Started playing around with your latest 5D3 build, with the frame stop feature, but this build is clearly different to the experimental download version that runs.
First, my script doesn't run, but that is not the issue.
I set an exposure of 0.8s.
I have expo sim and override on.
I switch on crop FLV.
I switch on RAW video.
I switch FPS on and to 1 fps.
But, unlike with the experimental build, I don't get a LV image and more critically the shutter switches to 1/33.
Not looking for help/answer, just giving update at the moment.
-
I get full range shutter when set so cannot reproduce what you are doing.
Anyway. Would help if you narrow down what works first then focus the bad new at the bottom of the list. Meaning. Is frame burst acting like it should when not moving fps override and such? Then give specifics of what happens when fps override is on. Do you turn off audio by the way? FLV do not like audio on etc.
Are we testing frame burst?:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9741.msg223648#msg223648
Also check here:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9741.msg223238#msg223238
Also, if you are not getting a liveview image I doubt you are in framing mode. So I would say there´s a lot more to exercise around movie modes here.
-
@Danne
It's a mystery ;)
I've switched back and forth between the Experimental build and your frame burst one.
The experimental one works as expected, ie when I switch from LV to Movie mode the shutter stays at the correct shutter, eg 0.8s if I'm using a 1 FPS.
When I load yours it switches the shutter to 1/33 when I switch from LV to Movie mode.
As I say, I use the same settings for each build.
As I say, a mystery: but I'll keep playing around.
-
Hm, I'l have a look later today. I might have messed some with a1ex fps values in crop_rec at some point. Didn't work this branch for a while.
Can you give feedback on the frame burst function itself. Tlapse script as well?
-
Frame stopping working great: looking forward to trying that in my script, once I get the shutter fixed.
-
I try it here and all works. I need to push canon menu buttons once in a a while and at one time I restarted camera since framing wasn't working but it works. I choose Full-res LiveView then Shutter range to Full range, FPS override set to Desired fps 1. Then I push canon menu twice and when coming back shutter is fullres 0.8. Disable sound and start recording. Works perfectly...
-
BTW where do you disable sound?
-
Got it!!!!!!!!! :)
then Shutter range to Full range
This was the problem!
Shutter OK, but still can't see mage in LV, even after Menu pushes, ie black/purple diagonal lines fill the image.
I'll carry on playing around.
Thanks for your support.
BTW rather strangely the File Manager viewing of MLVs doesn't seem to work with your build, I get an "Allocation Failed" message. Not a priority for me.
-
Did you select framing under RAW video? If still not working simply restart.
What's working or not can't be determined by one preset selected tests. Please try other presets with file manager as well. Still trouble? Maybe you were lucky on the other build?
Edit: also note that adtg_gui should never be enabled if not in use. It kills framing for instance.

UPDATE 29-Dec-2019
See https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=24663.msg223841#msg223841
@Danne
Have spent most of the day switching between your build and the experimental page version.
I have assured myself that the settings are the same each time, eg shutter at 0.8s and an FPS of 1.
With the experimental build I can always see a stable LV image in movie mode.
In your version I mostly see a solid black & purple image. No amount of switching the menu on and off fixes this. Occasionally the image from the non Movie LV mode transfers to move mode, but freezes.
The perfect world for me would be the experimental build with your framing feature ;)
But then again, we don’t live in a perfect world :)
-
I see. I would need your SETTINGS folder or a printscreen showing your settings in RAW video menu and in Movie tab to be able to see what's going on. Too many variables will go wrong otherwise. It works here, what can I say.
Edit: also what modules do you have enabled?
-
Thanks Danne for the hard work.
I updated my repos and it just built fine.
More testings tomorrow, have good end of year :-)
-
Yes. Lots of changes. Rearranged menus and modules enabled from start and a few other things...
-
just download an tested crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Dec30.5D3123.zip
5d mark 3
version 1.2.3
I am really impressed.
my 'C' days are over long ago, (I do python as a qa automation developer)
I never was a videographer, only stills.
my English should get better
and when reading here I can understand one every two sentences
so please forgive me in advanced
the only issue
experimentals and your build from April (I belive) as well gave me an option to set live view and when pressing '*' I could frame my shot
it worked on all profiles. however on this build when pressed I get a x10 zoom which will not go away after release, and if I pressed many times on '*'
and the 'zoom' button It went away but image is broken, ML menue will not open an nothing else is working until restart
thank you so much for this it's all really amazing that I don't really care if this would be fixed
5k raw video from 5d3, and continueas, and live view ! what else it would shoot rockets to space :)
amazing! !!!!!!!
few questions. . .
what is 'crop rec preview' should it be on?
why in video menu it say '12 bit' and raw video menue say '14 bit'?
what is 'shutter range' I never sew this. logic tells me variable fps but didn't we had this all ready ?
what iso is optimal?
and last I do not own anamorphic lenses, I shot my doter using the anamorphic 5k and let mlvapp do its own streaching magic
I don't see distortion and the frames look AMAZING, do I need an eye doctor ?
is it disorted in a way I don't see it ?
what am I missing ?
-
- Set focus aid to OFF for * button and halfshutter working normal way
- Keep 14bit lossless in RAW vide menu. As a workaround you can add 10 or 12 bit in the Movie tab menu for longer recording times. It actually lower analog gain acting 10 or 12bit
- Crop rec preview set to auto mode will select either framing or real time preview but automated depending on what preset chosen. Turn it off if you wish to work manually between presets.
- Yes, anamorphic is a pixelated stretch(I call it anamorphic) but without the need for any anamorphic lenses. You already noticed that Mlv App fixes the upscaling in post just fine. And yes, it´s good.
- Iso climb. Enable i and move joystick up or down for iso control, even while filming
- Shutter range. As it says ORIGINAL will set canon shutter. Full range will allow for much lower shutter speeds. Works with FPS override down to around 0.5s shutter
-
@Danne
- Set focus aid to OFF for * button and halfshutter working normal way
When I try this on the 5D3, the halfshutter works normally, but * does nothing, ie no zoom.
Is it me...again ::)
-
zoom? You mean focus? Check your manual. Think it should look like this(except the pinks :P:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2Fx8V4PpBF%2FVRAM0-PPM-300px.png&hash=7e335e530b5f091343c45987e0cff94d)
-
No I meant zoom.
With that feature enabled the image zoom in to x10, I guess, when I do a half shutter press. If I disable that feature, the half shutter returns to normal, but the * doesn't 'zoom in', like the half shutter did.
Are you saying it shouldn't zoom in, just do an AF?
-
Either x10 zoom enabled or the rewired button disabled and then it´s back to canon settings for both halfshutter and ae button.
-
I meant something else. not focus and not zoom.
in the experimental buildm my preview was realtime and when press+Hold '*' I get framing preview .
the change you suggested does help with the x10 but not bringing back old method. maybe it was a settings I did some how and don't remember how.
but I can totally live without it.
I made a few more test, and everything work like charm.
this build is the best new year gift :)
Happy new year
-
It should enter framing when pushing halfshutter and set to real time. Will take a look tomorrow. What preset are you using by the way?
-
Everything is working fine so far here.
The crop rec integration is more intuitive this way.
There are a few modes that says preview broken, is it fixable ? What's the cause of it ?
Happy new year BTW
-
@Danne
At the risk of annoying you, a quick thought on the focus aid.
Currently, when on pressing * will do a x10 zoom, which stays on until you do a half shutter press.
Doing a half shutter press brings up the x10 zoom, while the half shutter is pressed.
The ‘problem’ with this approach is that, if one uses the half shutter in a script, as I do, you can’t also use the focus aid.
One way round this is if your focus aid only used the * button and that it also toggled the x10 on and off. Thus freeing up the half shutter.
Just a thought and Happy New Year to you.
Cheers
Garry
-
* button comes with haflshutter button for good or worse. The other way around is tricky. I assume yoù know a way to assign the ae(*) button cause I don't.
Cheers

Ok

Hi!
Just cloned your crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Jan01 repo and tried to add my iso-regs code into it.
Think maybe I've done something wrong as the new 'Presets' tab is there – but when I try and select it, it doesn't activate. :(
Can you see something I've done wrong? Maybe I need to add things in different places now… :o
Ignore pls!
For some reason my crop_rec.mo wasn't compiling at all… Compiled separately and it works now. Sorry… :-[
Cheers!
-
Cool menu edit + new toys… Thanks! :)
Notice that with Sound recording = ON, the camera start/stop beeps don't sound. Turning Sound recording = OFF brings them back. Is this expected behaviour?
-
There's a reason for most things in here ;).
-
Got these errors every other couple of shots today with latest build:
Live display; text in red:
'fatal no buffers'
then a few seconds later
'audio failed to stop. read state 3'
only a 3kb file is saved with no content.
Pressing menu then allows a proper recording, but the whole cycle repeats again.
I was recording in 3K as usual, with NO audio, so that's odd!
Anyone replicate this error?
Thanks.
-
Tell me exact settings, preset, etc. Preferrably do screenshots or a screenrecording to be sure not to miss anything.

These are the error screens, but I noticed that Sound recording was enabled – my bad. However, I was running raw_diag.mo. I disabled that module and it seems to be ok again. Never seen that error before! :o Good to know!
-
How are you running raw_diag module?
Next time reporting issues tell build, set up, enabled modules etc. Tiring with most, not all, 'test reports' just thrown out there without even basic info.
-
How are you running raw_diag module?
Just by loading and enabling the module. I only really use it for the raw info readout window.
-
Yes, but that indicates you are running older builds. In later build you would see that enabling modules is not there. So, build info is vital.
-
I cloned your repo at commit #5a6f55b 2019‑12‑31 and compiled locally.
I can see that you have now enabled modules by default and that the modules tab doesn't display. But if you add other 'extra' modules in – as I did with a1ex's raw_diag.mo – the module tab then appears and can be accessed to enable these extra modules – but the rest of the modules still remain 'invisible'.
So I don't think it is an 'older build'. ?
-
Oh, that´s nice. Didn´t know it worked. Jip-Hop worked out the module automation routines. Nice find.
-
Added mlv capabilities as for eosm here:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9741.msg224216#msg224216
EDIT: Buggy. Took out the mlv_play fix for now. Needs more testing...
EDIT: Reuploaded. Hopefully bug fixed. Needs testing
-
The anamorphic mode is superb, so much less noise in low light situations.
Right bow i have the slow framing preview and a live preview on atomos shinobi working.
Tho the framing is correct on the canon camera its a bit off on the external monitor. I wonder if its possible to arrange it so that i can get the center position on my external monitor aswell?
//Chris
-
@Danne do you know why the 5D3 can only record 14 bit with compression in UHD preset?
Could 12/10 bit be added? Or is this something not easy? (I can go in to the code again if needed)
-
It could probably be added but I don't know how to do it the "right" way. There are comments about reducing bits in mlv_lite.c.
But, meanwhile it should work with my bitdepth workaround by keeping 14bit lossless in RAW video menu and selecting 10 or 12 bit from Movie tab menu. Should do more or less the same.
-
Ah ok, this is available with the new "eos m" layout? I will try it out.
-
Yes, works, just tested.
-
Nice! I will try it very soon. (once I empty my card)
Is this only possible with the recent layout update?
-
Can´t remember. I know I added my bitdepth workaround not so long ago to the uhd so that might very well be true. But it´s better to use the latest as I did a lot of cleanup as well so nu reason to stay on the older version.
-
I think it's true then, I remember I just couldn't find any way to change bitdepth in the previous build.
I will use the latest of course, I have always done so with magic lantern :)
-
I think it's true then, I remember I just couldn't find any way to change bitdepth in the previous build.

Strange. Should have been in the sub menu. Anyway. It´s in Movie tab menu now so can´t be missed in the latest version. Just make sure that it´s set to 14bitlossless in RAW video menu:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
-
Ah I didn't even think it could have been in crop_rec! Spent an entire holiday choosing between 4 second recording times and 20fps :D
Also why are the modules gone in the new build? How does it all work? How do you load a module? Do you think this is the future of magic lantern layout? It feels a whole lot less modular to me :(
-
Future, modular? I rearranged and modified to be able to just start the camera and get on using it. It's just another open source project.
Code is there so you can build your own tweaks if there's something you're missing but since you didn't even find the crop mode sub menu in the last build at least enjoy the oppurtunity to lower the bitdepths again ;).
It's not like the modules are gone. They are simply autoenabled. Is there a module you're missing?
-

Well your branch is clearly the most advanced and bug free right now, so it is the future. When referring to 'future' I meant: would a1ex want to merge all of these changes back in to the main source tree? I imagine the user interface changes (module aspect) are a bit too drastic (for exmaple some users don't want any video features), but the internal code changes are of course great.
I rearranged and modified to be able to just start the camera and get on using it. It's just another open source project.
It is great and very usable, I really like the new video tab. I just want to know which modules are enabvled by default now... (and to get module screen back if I can change your mind ;))
I remember on my 5D2, loading the smallest amount of modules would increase recording times. I just think it's best to let users disable whatever modules they want, but I am not against having some modules load by default like you have done.

Yes thanks :D
It's not like the modules are gone. They are simply autoenabled. Is there a module you're missing?
Nothing I'm missing, but I want to see what's enabled and disable what I don't need. I just think it's better for module screen to stay, what if someone wants to write a new module, it's useful for them to toggle it on and off easily.
I only want to suggest improvements, sorry if anything I say sounded rude.
-
Nothing rude at all. I just answered :). I welcome feedback.
These modules are default:
mlv_lite \
mlv_play \
mlv_snd \
dual_iso \
silent \
lua \
crop_rec \
file_man \
ettr \You can add any additional module by simply putting it in the module folder on your card and it should appear the normal way.
You can also look for this line in module.c in src folder:
char *core_modules[] = {"mlv_lite", "crop_rec", "mlv_play", "mlv_snd", "sd_uhs", "lua", "file_man", "dual_iso", "silent"};And erase:
char *core_modules[] = {};Or erase all code related to core_modules and it should be back to normal. Didn´t dig in to hard on this. It´s mostly Jip-Hops code parts in this case and works really well.
About bugs I created a couple of pull requests. All the rest is small quirk fixes here and there, nothing big really. A1ex also developed a refined crop_rec code for the 700D which might be the new standard in the future. Who can tell really?
-
Ah good to know where that array is.
Also do you knokw why mlv_rec.mo stops working with crop rec enabled? I would be interested in trying to fix that (unless it's a really huge task), as I want to try card spanning.
-
No idea really.
By the way. You should port card spanning to mlv_lite ;)
-
By the way. You should port card spanning to mlv_lite ;)
+1 :)
I'm looking into this as well! I see the code in sd_uhs.c for enabling it in 5D3 (untested), but I assume additional code has to be ported into mlv_lite.
In which module does the code that needs to be ported live now?
-
No idea really.
😢
By the way. You should port card spanning to mlv_lite ;)
I like the sound of this too. I just looked at mlv_rec.c, and it seems not too complicated (an extra thread and loads of if statements).
But I need to gain some understanding of magic lantern code first. It's not as simple as c library and pthreads :'(
What branch would be the best starting point for this modification? Unified, crop_rec_4k or something else?
-
I would work in this branch directly. I see no reason no too. I ported global draw off a while ago. Not as hard as card spanning though but as you say. Not impossible to understand but It's a bit over my head.
-
I would work in this branch directly. I see no reason no too.
Yeah ok. I cloned crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets, this is the main one right now?
I ported global draw off a while ago. Not as hard as card spanning though but as you say. Not impossible to understand but It's a bit over my head.
I am not sure where to start really. I see in mlv_lite theres loads of "NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS" which is a tiny bit concerning. Currently trying to compare how both modules do writing, it seems to be making a little bit of sense, but there's no clear comments like "this line writes the frame", so it's a bit difficult.
Are the FIO_* functions used for writing actual big frame data? Or are they just for headers? I can't tell what they are doing... just 'jobs' according to variable names.
-
has anyone else experienced blacked out playback as if something went wrong with recording, but when loaded into MLVApp the image is there? I've been noticing this the past few builds, I've tested and changed various settings/resolutions to see if I had accidently turned something off, but every shot comes back blank. The liveview before shooting is there, just no playback.
sorry if this has been discussed already, i'm short on time so I just jumped to the end of the thread to ask. :)
-
More information needed.
-
@Danne how often do you update mlv_lite.c? I hope we do not make changes at the same time that will be difficult to merge.
-
I only do minor changes. Did a small change today. Just keep on with your stuff. WHen ready I can merge it into mine branch.
By the way, where´s the branch you are working on?
-
I hg cloned crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets yesterday - and am editing mlv_lite.c in there. Same branch as you?
-
Yes, same. Could you link your repo so I can follow?
-
Hmm I don't have it on bitbucket, I just typed "hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern -b crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets" and started making changes. Should I make a branch of my own to my bitbucket account? How do I do that?
So far, I have been saving versions by copying the file, not through commits because I don't know how to use mercurial, however I can put those versions in to commits once I get the mercurial stuff set up properly.
-
I'm guessing maximum number of chunks of an MLV is 101? as you can have only one .MLV, and 100x of .M00-.M99
-
It's actually really difficult to adapt mlv_lite for spanning. I will try again with a different approach, it's a bit of a mess this first attempt, I just tried to copy most of the way mlv_rec does it.
In mlv_rec writing loop is so much simpler, here it is tangled in to everything, so it's difficult to have two running at the same time. I wish we could have mlv_rec working with crop_rec.
-
Hm, keeping mlv rec is hard to justify. No lossless recording if I recall correctly? Only reason to hold on to it would be if both lossless and card spanning were working but ultimately if you manage to get it working on mlv_lite personally I would think it's the better way.
-

I am trying again on mlv_lite, this time without copying how mlv_rec does it, as it's just too different.
Also I didn't realise mlv_rec didn't have compression, I always thought it was the more "advanced one" :D That's what I felt from using the 5D2 anyway :D But I guess I was wrong :-\
I think one advantage to mlv_rec is that it writes EXPO blocks for each exposure adjustment during recording, while mlv_lite does not, is that correct? Or is this also outdated information?
-
Yeah, mlv_lite is stripped for maximizing speed. Originally dmilligan started out building this module.
-
Hi, I love the anamorphic mode, and i do not mind that it is squeezed in live view, and its perfect to be able to frame The desqueezed view before recording.
But i have one question that i rly havent found clearity to yet.
Even tho the live view is squeezed, is it possible to move the center position so that it matches the center better?
I made a video including external monitor to show what i mean.
It would be very very useful, (atleast for me;) ) if it was possible to match the squeezed views center point to the live view center point. In laymen terms, move the image up;)
4aed6ecab1
Is this complicated / goes much deeper than what I may think?
Thanks!
Kind regards
//Chris
-
I am almost done with card spanning, I have a very simple solution. just need to sort out one final thing: sharing the "slots" thing between two threads. Need to figure out what it is (I think it's a queue) and how it works, then how to share it. Going to leave this for tommorow.
Yeah, mlv_lite is stripped for maximizing speed. Originally dmilligan started out building this module.
So it would be nice to get mlv_rec working again and add compression support ;)
-
Hehe, well. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Nice to hear about your progress on card spanning!
-
I thought some of you videographers :) ;) may be interested to know that this 4mm fisheye lens us now available in an m mount, and it's cheap as chips.
https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-4mm-f-2-8-mft/
-
Should I add another struct semaphore * for protecting the slots array / writing queue when accessing it from two threads? Or should I extend the use of settings_sem to protect that?
BTW I am not adding any of this "guarded by" stuff to anything I add, as I don't know how to use it correctly. But as I understand that only affects static analysis, not running the code.
Also why does the code sometimes use '0' instead of NULL for pointers?
-
Ok nevermind about all that for now. First I need to understand how write_frames works...
Could anyone who knows explain: why it is only called once for multiple slots? it only gets the pointer from the first slot as the ptr argument, yet somehow writes all of the slots to the card?
And as far as I can tell a "slot" is an MLV block waiting to be written, which can be a frame or any other type - correct?
-
Also why does the code sometimes use '0' instead of NULL for pointers?
NULL and 0 have the same value. But, NULL implies pointer. So many people think you should use NULL if it's a pointer, because it lets other people know they're dealing with a pointer. I agree with this but it's basically a style choice.
-
Could anyone who knows explain: why it is only called once for multiple slots? it only gets the pointer from the first slot as the ptr argument, yet somehow writes all of the slots to the card?
Ok firgured this one out, all the blocks are actually in a single continuous block of memory behind the scenes, somehow. Therefore the pointer to the first block is actually a pointer to all the blocks needing to be written.
I guess this must roll over back to the beginning of the buffer when it reaches the end, but where is the code for detecting the roll over?
I think can make spanning work now I kinda understand what's going on.
These are just notes for myself, but I'm writing here so anyone who knows better can correct me.
-
Indeed, your understanding is correct, so far. Most of these things are not related to Danne's changes; mlv_lite has the same quirks in the main repository (so, the discussion here is probably off-topic).
Anyway - mlv_lite is pretty much the codebase from the original raw_rec (i.e. most of that is my code, updated by dmilligan to support the MLV format at the same recording speeds as the original raw_rec implementation, if not a bit faster (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17091.0)). Long before that, mlv_rec was written by g3gg0 in an attempt to completely replace raw_rec; unfortunately, it was a little slower, and its menus and internals were a bit too complex for my taste, so... we ended up maintaining both. Not ideal, I know. It would make sense to merge both modules somehow, keeping both the raw recording speed and the features, if possible.
Regarding 'loads of "NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS"' - there are only two, that I could find, and that's because the static analysis (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=18907) does not handle cli/sei correctly. I don't see this as a reason to be concerned - on the contrary. But I cannot guarantee 100% correctness either - maybe rewriting some parts of ML in Rust could help with that. No, I don't know Rust, besides trying to run Hello World some years ago, but it seems to be something worth learning.
About what things are executing - there are our own DryOS tasks, more or less straighforward to understand, and there are hooks placed at various locations in Canon firmware (usually in their DryOS tasks). The most interesting one here is the VSYNC hook, aka "EvfReadOutDone" on recent models (i.e. triggered once after capturing every single LiveView frame, in Canon's Evf/LiveView task, which runs with very high priority). That's where each frame is processed, and the next slot is chosen (ideally continuing the previous memory chunk, as it's a lot faster to write several megabytes at once).
However, what exactly happens within each LiveView frame was only recently understood (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19300.msg207723#msg207723), and only to a very limited extent.
-
Thanks for the response a1ex
True it is a bit off topic, but the goal is adding card spanning which is on topic I think.
Is the reason for mlv_rec being slower that it writes one frame at a time? It would be nice to merge them. Would unified be the best starting point for this kind of change? Also about mlv_rec not loading in crop_rec_4k, is that a difficult fix?

Hm rust, can it even be compiled to run on these cameras? Might it use any dynamic memory allocation behind the scenes?
Therefore, if a function is called from more than one task, it must be thread-safe.
This is a good way to think about it, will keep in mind.

Interesting to know. So the VSYNC hook is how ML redirects the image data to it's own memory?
And back to implementing spanning in mlv_lite:
My simplest (most threadsafe) idea was: the main thread will split each write in to an SD and a CF card part, then tell the SD card thread what to write (memory pointer and number of bytes). The splitting should be a 1:5 ratio, or learnt as the recording goes on. But this is not very good as it will make smaller chunks be written each time, and if the SD card has a hiccup, the main thread will be waiting for it to finish, and the other way round, the SD card would not be fully utilised. And if there is not enough frames in the queue, it can't be split very well.
I want to figure out a better way to share the queue between two threads. Do you think that is possible?
Haven't really made sense of the whole writing loop yet, so I can't tell.

Mlv_rec works here. Only tested with eosm and with that particular branch. I thnk mlv_rec works with 5d3 too. At least with a1ex crop_rec_4k branch.
With that said only thing personally missed in mlv_lite is card spanning :)
-
oh it does? not with crop_rec.mo enabled though?
-
Crop_rec works with eosm.
A bit off topic but it needs certain other modules enabled to work I guess. I'm sure it can be solved with a little trial and error. But let's fix card spanning on mlv_lite first ;)
-
But let's fix card spanning on mlv_lite first ;)
Sure :)
-
I think this line:
writing_queue_head = after_last_grouped;
should be moved to before the frame(s) start being written, so that when the other thread starts looking for frames, it will get unwritten ones.
Or will moving this line affect whatever process is actually putting the frames in to the buffer? In that case, I can add an extra version of this variable for the write threads, updated at the start, and leave the original one for the process actually inserting frames, updated at the end as before (will need some care when both threads are updating it)
I also think the SD card thread should only write one frame at a time, otherwise it will be wasting time and memory, especially when the buffer starts getting full.
This is my current best idea for spanning.
@Danne Do you know how much extra write speed mlv_rec spanning adds? Does it perfectly sum CF and SD speed or is there overhead?
-
I used it briefly when it was implemented. Wild guess it gives around 20mb extra. But. 5d3 can do sd_uhs hack so we might get like maybe 40mb extra rough estimation?
-
Woahh! Didn't know sd_uhs worked on 5D3 as well. So we may get 140MB/s which could give continuous UHD 😱
-
Well, a1ex would know this for sure but 125-130 might be more realistic maybe.
-
Wrong thread, sorry

I HAVE MADE WORKING SPANNING!!!!!! This is what the commit looks like: https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/commit/0684bab9e5937a563af8409f5c226af73b8e7c74
I have used github as I don't understand how to use bitbucket or mercurial. On that github repo you can see the before and after.
unfortunately: there is one case where the threads collide and recording stops with "Slot check error" - it happens rarely, and I know exactly why, I just haven't found a way to do mutual exclusion yet.
I am pretty sure the semaphore is what I should use as a "mutex", but I could not get it to work, could you help me a little bit please @a1ex? I just want to know how to use the semaphore for mutex purposes.
-
-
Wow. Impressive. No cam today but will test soon! Hope a1ex can take a look.
Bravo Ilia3101!!
-
I will upload test builds, I just don't recommend it for anything other than testing!
Recording WILL STOP due to an error sometimes!
Edit: I won't upload builds actually, until I have got it in to a more usable state. Testing right now won't mean anything.
-
When I add a semaphore eveything just freezes forever, and says something like "25 frames" or "31 frames" until I turn the whole camera off.
All I did was add a pair of take_semaphore and give_semaphore, timeout 0 which I guess means no timeout. I might just try something dumb like a spinlock.
-
Nice progress!
To debug these semaphores, you may use the wrappers at the beginning of menu.c. These will tell you who acquired the semaphore (what line of code), and you can also add the task name (get_current_task_name). What you print on the display, should stay there even if the camera locks up.
However, a hard lock up (when everything stops responding) generally means some kind of invalid hardware (MMIO) access, or DryOS memory overwritten, i.e. messed up badly enough that vanilla firmware can no longer continue. If some task ends up "simply" waiting at semaphore, that shouldn't bring down the entire machine.
For 32-bit integer assignments, on a single-core ARM CPU, semaphores should not be needed - afaik, this operation is atomic. That's probably not true on multi-core systems.
For very short critical sections, you may use cli/sei, but no other tasks will be able to run between those two. You should not call any DryOS API either (such as msleep), as these might enable the interrupts on their own.
Also take a look at the selftest module - that also serves as "documentation" of expected behavior and return value of various DryOS functions. The VxWorks documentation should be helpful, too, as the high-level behavior is pretty much identical (but the internals are not).

None of my lockups were hard, just raw recording thread(s) locking up - I could still enter ML menu and it would just say "stopping"

Doesn't apply to the current situation (I think), but good to know.
For very short critical sections, you may use cli/sei, but no other tasks will be able to run between those two. You should not call any DryOS API either (such as msleep), as these might enable the interrupts on their own.
This may be the perfect solution! I will try it out. Didn't realise what cli/sei were until I just googled it. Wow!
Is "ASSERT" and beep/bmp_printf allowed between cli/sei?
Will have a look at menu.c and selftest module as well.
-
I added sei/cli and it seems to fix the problem, but I think the code runs between them for too long, so I will still try and sort out the mutex.
Just one last question for today: There is loads of "Frame order error" messages at the end of recording - it only seems to happen when the video's bitrate exceeds or almost exceeds total write speed. Is this a major issue?
With UHD total write speed tops out around 111MB/s right now, not as amazing as I expected. However I haven't tried sd_uhs yet. Update: I compiled sd_uhs in your branch @Danne and it says not supported on the 5D3 - where do I get the latest sd_uhs?
-
Check the code in sd_uhs.c(my branch):
/* Below cams not tested/supported atm. Try it by enabling sd_overclock_task(); */
if (is_camera("5D3", "1.1.3"))
{
/* sd_setup_mode:
* sdSendCommand: CMD%d Retry=... ->
* sd_configure_device(1) (called after a function without args) ->
* sd_setup_mode(dev) if dev is 1 or 2 ->
* logging hook is placed in the middle of sd_setup_mode_in (not at start)
*/
sd_setup_mode = 0xFF47B4C0; /* start of the function; not strictly needed on 5D3 */
sd_setup_mode_in = 0xFF47B4EC; /* after loading sd_mode in R0, before the switch */
sd_setup_mode_reg = 0; /* switch variable is in R0 */
sd_set_function = 0xFF6ADE34; /* sdSetFunction */
sd_enable_18V = 0xFF47B4B8; /* 5D3 only (Set 1.8V Signaling) */
SD_ReConfiguration = (void *) 0xFF6AFF1C;
/* sd_overclock_task(); */ }
if (is_camera("5D3", "1.2.3"))
{
sd_setup_mode = 0xFF484474;
sd_setup_mode_in = 0xFF4844A0;
sd_setup_mode_reg = 0;
sd_set_function = 0xFF6B8FD0;
sd_enable_18V = 0xFF48446C; /* 5D3 only (Set 1.8V Signaling) */
SD_ReConfiguration = (void *) 0xFF6BB0B8;
/* sd_overclock_task(); */ }
return 0;
}Enable the function with this:
/* sd_overclock_task(); */to this:
sd_overclock_task();
Don´t forget, the module will autoenable when starting camera.
in modules.c
char *core_modules[] = {"mlv_lite", "crop_rec", "mlv_play", "mlv_snd", "lua", "file_man", "dual_iso", "silent", "ettr"};
Just tested over here and seems to work but havn´t checked agains any benchmark tests.
-
Didn't work, SD card just benchmarks at 0.0MB/s and there is some error when raw recording. (I'm firmware 1.1.3)
-
Well, I can´t really help you on that as I have no issues here.
You could test sd_uhs.mo from the sd_uhs branch. Here is a compiled version:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/downloads/sd_uhs.mo
Try and replace it with what´s in your modules folder now. This version needs to be enabled from with debug tab. Not as convenient but check if it works better.
-
Thanks! I will try that version.
Also this card might be wacky, it's an 600x pink transcend. I'll try a different card later.
-
Yes, could be it. My version don´t really like cheap cards :P.
-
Anyone have any idea what this error could be about:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2F5tc3X3bF%2FIMG-20200123-202510.jpg&hash=7b4d6b2451fd05a2c66a908b031f69f2)
It only happens rarely, but does happen.
Since that error happened, the camera has been recording for 10 more minutes without any more errors.
I think spanning is getting close to usable now!
-
Wonderful Ilia3101!
Compression error. Usually includes corrupt frame/frames. I had them when recording was disturbed of sone engdrvout routine changing regs in crop rec. But root could as well be overhead or recording edge of speed I think.
Sd_uhs working?
-
About to try sd_uhs with a proper card!
Edit: the sd_uhs didn't work with any of my two cards I have tried. I will try with some other cards once they are free.
I have uploaded some testing builds with spanning:
https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/releases/download/test-builds/magiclantern-Nightly.2020Jan23.5D3113.zip
https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/releases/download/test-builds/magiclantern-Nightly.2020Jan23.5D3123.zip
I decided to post them as it does not seem to be causing any dangerous crashes or lockups. I have only tested 5D3.113, don't know if it will be different for 123. Curious to see people's results.
My modified mlv_lite.c and mlv_lite.h code can be seen here: https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning
I did have issues at one moment, but it was just a faulty lens adapter chip messing with the camera. Not from my spanning code. Pretty certain it's safe.
-
Gave it a go with version 1.1.3 and could get continuous 24fps 10bit with full expansion of UHD 1:1(3840x1536). I needed sd_uhs enabled but had to get the old routine patching with the very long wait from sd_uhs branch. With my sd_uhs version it would create some File create error and then stop recording. I guess this module needs some testing to get automation working. On a side note I wish for continuation of the sd_uhs patching module. I never really liked the way I stripped and got it working reliably mostly for the eosm but not with other cams.
Compression errors were present when trying out higher frame rates like 48/50/60 fps modes. I guess these modes are too much for the sd card to handle.
Crop marks dir is missing and i also couldn´t get the mlv_lite.c and mlv_lite.h to work with my ongoing branch but I guess it could be done later on.
Great work Ilia3101.
-
Glad to see you testing it out :)
I just sorted out the semaphores (https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/commit/3f110176b170949d2668217a0e0e236664a07d4d), and it has added megabytes of performance, at least with the weird transcend card. Before I was using cli/sei which would block the processor for too long and cause the compression errors (I think).
I am recording a long test clip right now to see if any errors come up.
When do you think we can start figuring out how to put it back in to your bitbucket branch? How many changes have you made to mlv_lite since?
-
Only one slight change jan 18th:
raw_set_preview_rect(skip_x, skip_y, res_x, res_y, 1);
raw_force_aspect_ratio(0, 0); */
- if (!get_halfshutter_pressed())
+ if (!get_halfshutter_pressed() || rec_trigger == 3)
{
autofocusing = 0;
long_halfshutter_press = 0;
So it won´t be an issue. You could test compiling and working right into my latest branch. I won´t be messing with it for a while anyway ;).
You changed mlv_lite.c and mlv_lite.h but no other places? Modules needs to be turned on I see at least but I also had some warning about dryos. Didn´t have time to check it too hard.
-
Nice. Just added that change to my mlv_lite.c, now it can easily be put back in to your branch whenever it is time.
-
Great. I´ll check. I think I was in the eosm branch before so My last message was testing the wrong branch :P
-
Ah ok. Undid the change for now.
Also updated the builds.
-
ah, no, the change is ok, I meant another error so you can add it back.
Tested again and skipped messing with the sd_uhs module. 48/50/60fps working just fine and what was nice there were no compression errors at all. Could very well be related to sd_uhs.
Nice part with this is that practically all presets can be run in 14bit. Only missing the sd_uhs module for the UHD 1:1 before patching I think sd card will run around 20mb and after patching at least double so getting some usable sd_uhs patch working is something to look into.
Let´s keep your testing branch open for a while and keep on testing from it and when ready I can put it into my own branch.
Remember folks. BLEEDING EDGE! Be brave, and maybe rich too ;)
EDIT: Will test full 48fps 1920x1080p and see if spanning stuff makes this work...
-
Redid the change :D
Yeah, let's leave testing open for a little while. @everyone please test SD/CF spanning! Download in this post (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg224571#msg224571)
-
This is super exciting, i have some good cards that will try it out on this weekend.
UHD in 14bit 24fps with liveview working?? Sounds to good to be true ???
-
The only thing that has changed is write speed (if you enable card spanning), now instead of 100 it's more like 112 for me (I really want to hear other people's results, I feel like it should be 120). With sd_uhs we might even get a lot more ;)
Note: just remembered: in my build I removed core module auto loading array, so you'll have to load them yourself sorry :) @Danne feel free to make a slightly more official build, the mlv_lite.c/h on my github is the latest
-
I took your changes and also added sd_uhs patching into 5D3 into this branch:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/branch/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_card_spanning
In time I´ll merge changes into the regular branch again. Feel free to grab code changes and compile/test new builds. Note that sd card I test with are sandisk extreme pro 95 or 170mb/s. Slower cards might behave fishy when patched.
When patched the first time it takes a few seconds for the changes to show. Once OFF turns to ON it´s patched.
Patch function enabled from with in Movie tab menu:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FV6tg3Jbs%2FVRAM0-PPM-scaled.png&hash=42ea362ae2acea7ebaf491c77201efb6)
Do remember:
BLEEDING EDGE! Briefly tested. I did not test to patch while only using CF-card so don´t know how it will behave if no sd-card is in the memory card slot...
-
Holy fuck. My sandisk 45MB/s card just wrote at 48MB/s!
However the CF did slow down to ~75MB/s... whyy!!!! Is the camera's ram becoming a bottleneck?
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2F441qtb8F%2FUHD.jpg&hash=007772d43734c3819fee3faad935005a)
^ That is UHD in 12 bit
Edit: yep, getting data corruption, need a really good card for this to work. At least 60MB/s
-
Would love to try this build to help the community !
I have 5DM3 with:
SDHS I Sandisk 95 MB/s
CF lexar 160 MB/s 1066x
But which build to use ?
And what is the settings to try ?
(I have read last 5 pages but I'm not enought in it to fully understand...)
-
@ilia3101 Thank you for your hard work bringing this to 5D3! :)
I have tested both a build compiled from Danne's branch :
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/branch/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_card_spanning
and yours:
https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/releases/download/test-builds/magiclantern-Nightly.2020Jan23.5D3113.zip
Fastest card I have is Sandisk Extreme 90Mb/s U3.
On Danne's branch: I get almost instant stops in UHD 3850px with message: "Frame order error…Slot 10(?)…e13…expecting 19…" The message disappears very quickly so I can't read it all! A file has been saved to SD I notice: M25-1206.M00 – file is 50mbs but I can't open it in MLVApp.
**EDIT** I have just tried turning Spanning = On, but Overclocking = Off. It now records one file to CF and one to the SD, both with same timestamp but the SD one with the .00 suffix. Can't open .00 file in MLVApp or MLVFS.
On ilia's I get an error printed about: Missing crop-marks and also sd_uhs will not run on this camera. (I'm on 5D3 1.1.3)
-

Wait for Ilia3101 to compile and share or learn how to compile. Seems you have the right card to use so should be ok.

@timbytheriver What should happen is that the main file (.MLV) will be recorded on the CF card, and .M00 will be on the SD, just move both of them to the same folder/card, then you will be able to open it with MLV App.
And there may also be .M01 .M02 etc from 4GB splitting.
-
@ilia3101 Aha! Thank you.
just move both of them to the same folder/card, then you will be able to open it with MLV App.
I see this to be true now. :)
I will try your updated builds and report back.
Thanks!
-
@ilia3101
Works good over here. Is frame order "issue" due to spanning just recording frames differently? Seems indexing fine though so maybe we should exclude the check when spanning is on?
Next I want to increase anamorphic resolutions when spanning is enabled vs defaults now without spanning on.
Also noticed a previewing issue when recorded longer takes, 3 or more mlv chunks. Will print exct message when back home.
-
I am almost certain the frame order issue is just due to the nature of spanning. Makes each file look like it has loads of skipped frames.
So yeah I think we should disable this check when spanning is used.
-
Makes each file look like it has loads of skipped frames.
Ah, makes sense.
-
@ilia3101 With your newly posted build I get:
Card spanning + SD overclocking = on, I get msg: File Create Error. Stops recording immediately.
SD overclocking = off, Card spanning = on, I get Frame order… issue (Think you have discussed this?) and stops after 8 secs or so.
Upon restart had msg twice: Camera not shutdown properly. Skipping module loading.
Cards: CF Sandisk Extreme Ultra Pro 160mb/s (Been using for 3K fine for a year) + SD Sandisk Extreme 90mb/s. (Also been fine for ML core files).
-
speaking of cards, i want to join in the party but i don't have any decent sd cards. the local retailer here only has this in stock:
SanDisk 64G Extreme SDXC UHS-1 Memory Card - 150MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXV6-064G-CWCIN
opinions? will it overclock?
my other option is amazon, but then the wait for shipping begins ;)
-
Only tested realible sd_uhs patching with sandisk extreme pro 95mb and 170mb card. Most other cards either failed or even slowed down speed performance.
-
adding the "pro" to my stock availability search drops the results to zero :(
-
@timbytheriver
Hmm, strange. I didn't get to try out sd_uhs with a proper card so I can't tell what's going on. I will upload a build where the sd_uhs module does not auto load, maybe that will improve things for you.
And those "Camera not shutdown properly" happened only with sd_uhs for me.
However I did get much improved record times even without sd_uhs.
@70MM13 still valuable if you try it out without sd overclocking.
-
i'll try it with my ancient sandisk 30mb/s card while i wait for amazon shipping :)
any improvement is a good thing, right? :)
-
I will upload a build where the sd_uhs module does not auto load, maybe"
However I did get much improved record times even without sd_uhs.
Patch itself is not autoenabled. Problem is due to card itself. Don't patch and problem goes away. Reluctant to answer some users who neglect to share info in other posts but I don't want Ilia3101 to waste his time.
I get increased recording times when patching. I'd say around 125mb/s.
-
Oh yeah it doesn't automatically do the patch. And I forgot to post the build, not home now sorry. If you still want to try disabling sd_uhs tim you can just remove it from the card, though it shouldn't be the source of the problem.
Also if you get file creation error it could be because the card was inserted badly (I had that once), but I can't help any further with sd_uhs for now.
@Danne I also hit 124MB/s with sd_uhs and a 45MB card, still need to check if the file can be read, the camera couldn't play it (it was a 3 minute UHD)
-
Yeah, good for you the patch works on a 45mb card. I don't think you can reach higher speed with a faster card.
I also had preview issues but file itself works in mlv app.
The file creation error is explained in mlv_lite code. I can recreate it with older sd_uhs patch code. The issue isn't triggered with latest build.
@70mm13
Try patch on your 30mb card. Maybe it works.
-
i'm trying it on a few sd cards i have here, (all slow but a couple are brand new) and no matter what i do i don't get any files to show up on the sd card. i tried toggling through all of the canon menu card recording options, but it makes no difference. any suggestions? obviously i must be missing some crucial and obvious (but not to me) step!
while i await any suggestions i will try another test without a CF card, especially just to try the patching!
-
Don´t know what builds you are testing but you need to enable card spanning in RAW video menu.
Patching will only work with my latest code.
-
i'm using the latest one ilia posted, and yes, i did miss the obvious "card spanning" in the raw video menu! :P
meanwhile here's my sd-only overclock test results:
both new kingston cards (crappy cheap cards only intended to load ML and capture stills) said "card full" even though they were empty, and my ancient sandisk "ultra" 30mb/s worked, although i didn't see any real improvement, only a few extra frames recorded but that's within margin of error...
EDIT: PS: what formatting block size settings are you guys using on the sd cards?
-
Yeah, sd_uhs will not work with those builds. Have to wait for new uploads.
Preview issue comes from mlv_play. Could reproduce with longer takes, three chunks:
From mlv_play.c
/* no, its another chunk */
if(main_header.fileGuid != file_hdr.fileGuid)
{
bmp_printf(FONT_MED, 30, 190, "Error: GUID within the file chunks mismatch!");
beep();
msleep(2000);
return;
}
-
no worries, i'll wait patiently :)
any suggestions for optimal sd card format block size?
-
Ah I figured out why the fileguid is different, I will fix it this evening.
Update: fixed (https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/commit/3c88cb06c238c2f129a4d700705bbdac2e5aaf3b)
-
Cool. Works nicely with mlv_play and previewing longer takes is not longer an issue. I included the fix and also excluded frame order text when card spanning is set to on also in this branch:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern/branch/crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_card_spanning
-
Getting some errors around mlv_play. Locks camera:
[104]compress_task: stack overflow: free=0 used=4096
I record 14bit lossless anamorphic mode. Deleting and then previewing the next file got me the above text. card_spanning on but sd overclock is set to OFF.
Seems also happening with 10bit selected. Maybe my sd card is corrupted.
Formatted sd card in camera and all seems working again. I guess sd_uhs related. Hard to say. My sd card have been doing all kinds of tests lately :P
-
compress_task does not touch mlv play, it is only for compressing frames while recording. No idea why it would have a problem, I did not touch it's code or do anything that should affect it.
-
Probably sd_uhs patch related. Card chokes causing issues. After formatting all works again.
-
Have new card now: Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-I 64gb (170MB/s read, 90MB/s write)
Compiled latest updates. Card-spanning and SD overclocking working well now:
I can get 1min+ 3600 x 1532 / 24fps / 2.35:1, continuous at 3072p. 1080p 14bit on SD card alone – continuous! :)
Many thanks @ilia3101, @Danne.

Wow, great work, need to try this when i get back home. Is the liveview working as normal in this cases?? :o
-
@Stousen Yes!
In 1080p = Real Time.
In Crop modes = Framing.
-
my new sandisk extreme pro 170 card arrived the other day, and i have put it through its paces...
formatted with 4mb blocks for my first test.
like tim, the sd card alone does 1920x818 continuous!
3072x1308 also continuous!
3620<> x1536 5 minutes (x resolution at maximum for true 2.35:1 - is there a way to push y above 1536?)
all 14 bits lossless, with lots of brightness and motion.
i've been putting off my next music video until i could shoot 3k+ continuous (it's a performance) and now i can do it! thanks!
-
A postscript to @70MM13's post: For Mac users!!
I tried to format a custom 4Mb block size in exFAT using the terminal like this:

It appeared to have done so, but I couldn't get it to mount under any circumstances. The card will work in the camera – but you will be unable to mount it to retrieve your files.
The closest I could get to a larger custom block size was 1Mb (1048576) (These numbers have to be powers of 2 apparently.) This will mount, but it caused problems in the camera and I started to get only about 15sec @ 3072p with or without card spanning/sd overclock on or off.
Not sure if it was related but I then kept getting card errors: 'Card1 cannot be accessed' after formatting custom block sizes from the Terminal. Reflashed the Firmware, finally erased formatted to exFAT from disk utility with the default [tiny] block size of 32768 (0.03Mb).
All appears to be ok again now. But bottom line may be that Mac really doesn't play well with exFAT/exFAT custom block sizes. I wish I'd left well alone! :(
PS If you format the cards in-camera I noticed (both my SD and CF cards being 64Gb) that the SD card gets exFAT, while the CF gets FAT32. Just noting…

@Stousen Yes!
In 1080p = Real Time.
In Crop modes = Framing.
I managed to get it to work, i get avout 110-115 in w/speed!
Tho my live view doesnt work while recording in crop 3k? :(

It's hard to see what you expect or even if there is a problem involved. To minimize communication mishaps you need to be specific with settings used, preferrably with screenshots or a screenrecording. Use contextual terminology instead of making up new words etc.

LoL, i hear ya. Will try not to do a Hegel and be swift but clear. :-*
Card spanning: on
1/1 3k crop
14 bit lossless
2.35:1
Required 110 write speed
Live view: framing
Kill global draw: no, also tried yes
Sd uhs hack : on
Live view before recording: framing
Live view after pushing rec: framing
Live view some seconds after pushing rec: pink screen but still recording
70 ish write speed CF - 40-50 ish write speed on SD.
Tho thought the liveview would function better if the cardspanning actually increased the bandwith? Or am i out biking on a road with no light?
Cheers

You need a better bike 8)
Previewing capabilities will not change with different cards. Framing...

Fantastic build crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_card_spanning_2020Jan25.5D3113!!! I've got (1920X3)X2332- 2.39:1 continuous 24fps, 14bit lossless, Dual ISO at anamorphic Presets. Is it possible to add settings for 1920 -2,35:1?
I've tried Dmytro_ua's Fast video presets, updated for Danne's build 16th of Jan - https://drive.google.com/open?id=18-Wo0yNVBCVwfjyTlB7O7UK5bMPUtsCd, but there is no this lua in Scripts menu. ?

Those presets are actually easy to update to your needs with a simple text editor on your computer. I've shared them like an example to everyone who needs smth special for themselves. I'm sure there is no universal set of presets suited for everyone. So you can edit any of them to your needs. And delete others which you don't need. Actually it's not hard at all.
Sorry, didn't understand at first what you are asking for. As I mentioned before, I'll try to update them as soon as I have time to test everything in a proper way.
-
It seems to me that menus structures in builds of 16th Jan and 25th Jan are the same. My lua script works fine in 16th Jan build, but there is no this lua in Scripts menu in 25th Jan build. All builds are Danne's build.

- Added card spanning implemented by ilia3101 and also sd_uhs overclocking
Faster sd card(sandisk seems to work better overclocking). Patch only works on sd card.
Only briefly tested so tests and reports are welcome especially now at early stages. Bleeding edge folks. I trust card spanning more than I trust the sd_uhs hack. When patching works it works really well, but otherwise it could give give surprises like corrupted files, no header etc, or maybe even affect the sd card permanently. Well, other than that. Happy testing :)
And thanks ilia3101 and a1ex for the card spanning feature(formerly implemented in mlv_rec by g3gg0).
-
Post screenshots or try describe more in detail what you arw missing.
When I open "Scripts" menu in ML build 16 Jan I see my lua and can run it. But when I open "Scripts" menu in ML build 25 Jan, I can not see the same lua in menu.

Post the scripts. More info needed if you compare. Try shorten the name of the script that is showing in menu.

Wonderfull work Danne & ilia3101 and a1ex !
I'll try it asap !

Yes! Thank you. If SD card FAT32 formated - no problem with long file name. If exFAT only 8 length works.

No Problem with shooting so far. I'll try recording this evening.

I can't make screenshot on build crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Feb01.5D3113. Debug\Screenshot-10s, SET, Shutter butt. - half-press. There is a display with ML top and bottom bars. Global Draw - LiveView. There is no new VRAMx.PPM file. Is it OK?
By the way in crop mode there is no "Focus distance info" in low bar, because there is no room for it. How to reduce crop made info in low bar or even delete it? Also WB info is useless for me.
-
Worked last time I tried. Could someone else test the screenshot function?
Code is out there. If you want to modify screen text you can check in lens.c for instance.

Worked last time I tried.
It works for me only for ML menu.

Turn off RAW video while doing screenshots. I did some automation to temporarily disable RAW video when using screenshot function but maybe it fails under certain conditions. If you could present clear cases reproducing the issue I could take a look. Screenrecording would do.

How does the bit depth option work in crop_rec? I am really concerned about the black level staying the same as it is at 14 bit. I switch to 12 bit, black level is still at 2047. Is it just cutting the top 3/4 of values off?
-
Is it just cutting the top 3/4 of values off?
Values of what?
The workaround is very simple. There are analog gain registry that when lowered gives reduced bitdepth. Only white level needs adjusting. Maybe a bad thing but it works so I just kept working with that.
You could test and compare 12bit in crop rec vs raw video.
-
Ah I see, so it is gain. You are putting a 12 bit range in a 14 bit container (still getting more efficient compession). Not cutting anything off then (GOOD!).
Analog - this explains why black level stays the same. I wonder what the effects on noise are, I seem to get stronger than usual stripes in the shadows, that don't go away with stripe fix.
ProTip: You could do this gain by only 0.1 stops and call it increased dynamic range ;) ;) ;)
-
I really want to add real 12 bit to the UHD preset.
Wish I knew how😭 @Danne didn't you mention there's comments somewhere about reducing bitdepth??
-
I don't think it's less real. Quality wise probably the same. What's your issue by the way?
-
I have no issue, but:
The black-white range with your gain adjusted 12 bit seems to be approximately 2047-5600 (max 16383)
With real 12 bit it will probably be 512-3800 (max 4095)
So it is effectively 12 bit.
But I suspect the compression algorithm can be slightly more efficient in true 12 bit mode.
I just got an excessive amount of stripes recently shooting in crop_rec 12 bit, which got me wondering about this.
-
A1ex explained from time to time about bitdepth routines. I can't find the posts right now. I don't think those stripes are related to bitdepth in crop rec but who knows.
-
Ok thank you. I wasn't saying I was certain that the stripes are caused by it. Probably not. The 5D3 is really quite stripy.

Can i go a bit off topic here ?
I hvae bought a KB 128Gb from amazon
I have used it twice and yesterday its simply died.
I want to buy a new card, but KB feesls like out of the question with this type of quilty.
So, is there anything else to use on a 5d3 with more or less the same speeds but more reliability ?
Used cases are danna builds 3.5k raw o a 5d3

Dear Danne,
Is it possible to record 12/14 bit 2656x1484 (16/9)?
Or is 1308 height a hardware limitation for continuous recording 12/14 bit?
The 3072x1308 (2.35:1) mode is not useful to me as I rarely use 2.35:1 and make 99% of stuff in 16/9, so I will have to crop 3072 down to 2326 and lose 33% of the recorded pixels.
I don't have a 5D3, but I might buy one if 16/9 is working with >=4 megapixels Raw.
3072*1308=4,018,176
2688*1512=4,064,256
2656*1484=3,941,504 so it maybe possible
What is the highest resolution that 16/9 can be recorded continuously for 12/14 bit?
-
Impatient to try this vey exciting card spanning feature, I borrowed the 5D3 and tested the latest February 01. build using the following two cards:
1) Transcend SDHC 32 GB 300x, (write speed: 40 MB/s, USB 3.0 card reader test)
2) Sandisk Extreme Pro 64 GB 160 MB/s, (write speed: 114 MB/s, USB 3.0 card reader test)
I. With Card spanning ON, SD overclock OFF spanning works fine, in-camera preview too. The 00-files get nicely recorded on the SD card and merging with the main files on the CF card goes flawlessly. Just dump the contents of both cards in one directory and you are ready to go. MLVApp processing works fine too. I get continuous recording at 3072x1728 10-bit lossless resolution and 24 fps with about 1,5 stops underexposure at these settings. With the same settings but without spanning, I get continuous recording only at 17 fps. So, card spanning makes perfect sense and is extremely useful.
Important:
=======
To get maximum recording times, warming up cards is necessary. With the above settings and both cards cold, I get a maximum of 200 frames recorded. Immediately after that, I get 1000-2300 and even more frames recorded. I guess, it's the SD card that needs warming up because, without spanning, CF card warming is not necessary.
II. With Card spanning ON and SD overclock ON, recording does not work. Upon pressing the record button, I get three beeps along with the message "Recording stopped automatically", then recording stops and nothing gets recorded.
------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, I had to pay a price for my impatience. My beloved SD card died in these experiments. Here is how this happened:
III. I decided to check the SD-overclocking feature alone. I removed the CF card and left only the SD card with ML on it in the camera. Then I activated SD-overclocking, waited until it is patched, (status ON) and pushed recording. Recording did not work, I got the error message. Then I decided to format the SD card in the camera without turning SD-overclocking off. Formatting failed and I was prompted to replace the card. That was it. All further attempts to fix the card through formatting in the camera and PC via card reader failed. The card is dead. Not a big loss but still ... After that, I did not try other SD cards.
----------------------------------
Excellent work Ilia3103, Danne and everyone else involved. 12-bit UHD RAW-video recording at 24 fps is a real break through for the good old 5D3 !

What is the highest resolution that 16/9 can be recorded continuously for 12/14 bit?
There is a 3K preset that does 3072x1920, so you can record 16:9 in 3072x1728 (it's continuous I think)
@IDA_ML thanks for the great confirmation that it's working! Getting quite certain it's reliable now.

Sad about your card. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a card is dead or the file system is really messed up. Sometimes mkfs.vfat can fix things like that.

Can anyone please test this and confirm that it works continuously with 12/14 bit?
3072*1920 is considerably higher resolution at 5.9 megapixels, I'm surprised to hear the camera can support it with Raw.
If 3072x1920 is truly possible for 12/14 bit with 5.9 MP -- could 3264x1836 be supported?
That would be even better, pushing the max for 16/9.
3072*1920=5,898,240
3264*1836=5,992,704
3232*1818=5,875,776
3200*1800=5,760,000
Could it be possible to add 3264x1836 or 3232x1818 and/or 3200x1800 modes?
If 5.9 megapixels is the true limit, 3.2K would be the best possible 16/9 Raw output for this camera.
3200x1800 also has a nice upscale ratio as it's a perfect 6/5ths upscale to 4K.
I think it's important to add a preset supporting the maximum stable 16/9 resolution for Raw, as that's one of the most basic functionalities to get right before other unique aspect ratios.
A 3.2K 16/9 preset supporting 12/14 bit would be fabulous.
-
@Boobie Just tested 12 bit 3072x1728 - it's continuous with card spanning, but just on the edge. If your shot suddenly becomes overexposed, recording indicator goes orange and it will be at risk of stopping.

I've thought about that before, but have no idea how to implement it. It may be possible, but it's just as likely not - control of the sensor isn't very exact and there's always unpredicatble black areas coming out, they may be bigger or smaller depending on how it's configured. (at least from what I've heard from reddeercity with the 5D2, maybe its not like this on the 5D3)

Thank you very much for testing. Did you record at 24p or 30p?
I'm uncertain if MLRAW is RGB 36 bits or RGGB 48 bits pre-compression, would love to learn more.

MLRAW is 10/12/14 bit. RAW is B/W (one channel). Color comes with debayering.

I shot 24p (23.976fps)
The raw without being compressed is not RGB, it's black and white (Bayer pattern), each pixel has only one channel, red/green/blue (nothing bad all raw cams are like that)
And it's tightly packed 12/14/10 bit, no 16 bits anywhere. Uncompressed bitrate in MB/s is (width*height*bitdepth*fps)/(8*1024*1024)
For example (3200*1736*12bit*23.976fps)/(8*1024*1024) = 190.5 MB/s
+ compression makes that smaller by ~40%

hey everyone,
i'm a fan of the sd overclock! don't drop it, it's worth keeping! i used it to shoot my new candlelight music video continuously at 3072*1308 (4 minutes continuous!) i've also used it on the sd card alone for 1920 continuous with no cf card in the camera - all 14 bit :)
here's a few observations from my experiences with it...
it only works for me on the new sandisk extreme pro card i purchased for using it. none of my other cards work with it.
it only works reliably for me if the camera is started with overclock DISABLED. enable it after startup, and then use it. disable it again before shutdown.
i suggest for the time being to make it disabled at startup by default. the loss of a few seconds to enable it is far better than potentially unreliable operation...
it's a real drag that formatting the card with it enabled could fry the card. that's valuable information!
one other thing to mention: the camera definitely heats up when pushing it this hard. we should really be paying close attention to this. i shut down and let it cool down after a few takes when the temperature gets scary! these temps could have consequences, so everyone should be aware and careful!
thanks for the great work, everyone!
check out my candlelight video to see it in action :) i'll eventually post a 4k version when av1 finally gets adopted.
-
Sorry. It´s disabled. As mentioned. Follow my commit to compile the module locally. Might look into fixing it in the future.
-
Removed sd_uhs module. Too fishy. Not worth it.
Not only is it worth it! SD-overclocking is the key to the success of this entire card spanning project! The enormous extended functionality of the EOS-M and the 100D would have been impossible without SD-overclocking. These 10-13 MB/s on top of the 40 MB/s factory write speed were the key to the success of these two cameras. Same for the 5D3 too. Very little more write speed is needed to achieve continuous recording at key modes such as the anamorphic 3840x2160/12bit lossless/24 fps or the 3072x1728/12bit lossless/24 fps or 1920x1080/48 fps without the need to reduce frame rate or lower exposure. I wish, I hadn't mentioned my damaged SD card at all. I just wanted to warn people not to repeat my mistake. A damaged card should not be a reason to stop the development on this issue of crucial importance!

So... good opportunity to bring back the module screen 😉

I woukd like to add
If you remember in the begging of the week
I told you my card die
It was a cf card
And after a few tests o wanted to format the card to record my actuall takes
So i format it and %×@@#@ a big explotion happend
No just kidding, no explotion just a died card
Could it be a good tip to not format the card?

Getting quite certain it's reliable now.
Ilia3101,
Indeed it is very reliable. I shot tons of footage with card spanning ON, (SD-overclocking OFF), over the weekend and never had a glitch. Moreover, it is very user friendly too. You activate card spanning just once and forget about it. In the end of the shooting day, you just dump the content of both cards in the same directory and forget about merging too. MLVApp just does the rest and never complains. Safe and reliable SD-card overclocking, as in the 100D and EOS-M, is the only thing needed to make card spanning perfect. If that is not worth it, I don't know what is.
-
I would like to try and correct my bad english.
I lost (died) a card (CF KB128GB) this weekend due to a format (usnig canon manu) when the card was full.
After format the card it became un accessable from any system.
Was testing a scene, recorded few sampales
And for unknown resone I got a massage saying card full
I didnt gave it much thinking and went strait to format it from canon manu.
Maybe formating the card right after recording is a bad move ?
And a shutting off the camer and let is rest before would lead diffrent results

Bug report: when recording uncompressed 12/10 bit, the white level metadata is always set to 16200 (that value is only suitable for 14 bit)
-
Good news guys! This morning I decided to test some spanned card footage with MLVFS to use it with DaVinci Resolve directly. And it works absolutely fine. I tested anamorphic 1920x2332 and 3k 1:1 3072x1728 at 24 fps and 10, 12 and 14 bits lossless and Resolve crunches it like cereal for breakfast. Average export times of the processed video on an i7 laptop with a 4 GB of RAM GPU are 7,5 to 9 fps with Davinci Resolve Lite 16 using the MPEG4 export format at the original resolution. This card spanning functionality is a real break through for the 5D3! Thanks so much, everyone involved!

That is a problem also with official experimental builds?
-
I don't know. But it's caused by line 3081 in mlv_lite.c - just comment it out and everything is fixed - it makes the wrong assumption that if crop_rec bitdepth is not set, that the image must be 14 bit:
if (!bitdepth) raw_hdr.raw_info.white_level = 16200
https://github.com/ilia3101/mlv_lite_spanning/commit/033c0d4801043b0d2e31ae101854fabbd40616f9
@IDA_ML Great!
-
So you record uncompressed 12 or 10 bit plus adding reduced bitdepth in crop rec?
-
No, just uncompressed 12/10 bit set from mlv_lite.c - without setting bitdepth in crop_rec (set to OFF).
-
I see. Will check it. Never used uncompressed since lossless came into the picture.
-
I never use it either. I was just generating some files to test LibMLV.
-
Is there any SD vs CF size proportion recommended? For example, if I have 128Gb Lexar CF what size SD card should I buy? I assume there is no any reason to buy 128 SD card?
-
you should be fine with a 64gb sd card, but there's nothing wrong with having extra capacity!
the 170mb/s sandisk extreme pro is almost cheap on amazon... it works beautifully for me!

I have tried this version : crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Feb01.5D3113
The mlv files can't be open in any software (Photoshop, Ae, MLVFS, MLV to CDNG on the fly). Only MLVproducer were able to do but it gave me a glitch pink image almost like snow black and white tv...
To record I have tried almost every option in the presets...
Do somebody know this problem ? Do I do something wrong ?
Thanks (:

No problem at all! Just try MLVApp. It opens MLV files from your camera directly.

Seems that there is no true 12/10 bit compressed recording? It's all gain based?
I recorded in "12 bit lossless" data format, and white level was at 6000 or something. Not below 4096 like I expected. And black was 2047 just like 14 bit (would be 512 in true 12 bit)
So there is no difference between using crop_rec bitdepth and mlv_lite data fromat lossless options?

came over from the EOS M and Dannes builds... love those - but now completely blown away by what the 5D3 is capable with this build! Just awesome.
One thing that I stumbled over today was the following behavior: when switching on the camera or going from still mode in movie mode, while having one of the presets "1920 1:1" or "mv1080p_mv720p" active then at first i just get a black screen. If i half push the shutter button to go in zoom mode, liveview appears and stays... behavior is from then on perfectly normal. Same if hit menu button (ore.g. also trash button) and come back. It`s not happening if the cam goes in standby, and mirror flips back when waking it up again. I can`t remember having this behavior the days before... Is this a known thing? Only difference I can think of, of doing today is changing frame-rates in canon menu for 60 fps recording. But of course I went back afterwards to 1920/25/All-I.
Already set back everything and did a completely new installation of ML. I am using "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Feb19.5D3113"
Thanks for any reply if the fault is on my side - if not, maybe a hint for an open ML issue.
Best, Larouso
-
I didn't have time to look into quirks too much changing from movie to photo mode.
As you say. 60 fps could cause some issues as well as waking cam from sleep mode. Hopefully it will be useful with some workaround as I pretty much have no time to dig into the code atm.
-
Told you already ;)
But what is true 10/12-bit according to you?
Sorry, was going to answer but forgot.
I meant "true 10/12 bit" as in: read from sensor the same way as usual (14 bit), but converted down to 12/10 bit in digital space (bits cut off)
Also "true" 12/10 bit would be within 0-4095 or 0-1023, currently it's 2048-~6000 for 12 bit ;)
It works fine though, compression is improved.
Only problem is how the MLV App stripe algorithm sees it as 14 bit, so it can't find any "highlights" to measure stripes.
-
Hopefully it will be useful with some workaround as I pretty much have no time to dig into the code atm.
yes of course - like mentioned, the workaround is easy and fast - just wanted to mention it... since the build looks besides that pretty damn perfect :)
Happy easter days for all of you!

Hello, I would like to know if you have to install the ML firmware on the 2 sd and cf cards at the same time, to record with both simultaneously, how the expansion sd works and what limitations this type of recording has on 5d3 in short.
Thank you very much.
-
Hello, I would like to know if you have to install the ML firmware on the 2 sd and cf cards at the same time, to record with both simultaneously
No, you only need to install it on one of the cards.
how the expansion sd works and what limitations this type of recording has on 5d3 in short.
It works by writing files to both cards at the same time (.MLV on CF card, .M00 on SD card), you must put files from both cards in the same folder before you can process them as videos. No limitations anywhere, only increased speed.
-
Sorry guys! I'v just read whole "crop_rec on steroids" topic from first message to last and now see that there is another topic about same theme. My mind already blowing so please could you tell me in short what advantages in this another crop module (with compare of last experimental one from july 22) at this moment? I use 5dm3 1.2.3
-
Great work,Danne!
Solved so many problems!
Keep going!
-
Hello, thanks for the answer the other day but I can't find the menu to record the 1920 x 2332 anamorphic adding the two sd + cf cards and at the moment I can only get to 1808, how and where are the settings in the magic latern menu Simultaneous recording and sd speed unlocking.
Thanks again.

I kindly ask if is possible to have an updated (last) zipped compiled file to load into 700D 1.1.5
Now I have crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Apr02.700D115 from Danne repository
I'm able to compile from the unified main branch but I'm not able (I'm sorry) to compile from this branch :'(
Thanks for your patience :)
-
Nothing new for the 700D so no need for updating.

Hello, please I can't find in the last update for 5d3 firmware 123 from February 19th where is the module sd_uhs card spanning nor the overclocking and the menu to record sd+ cf, someone can guide me.
Thank you.

How to turn off 1.67 stretch in the raw video mode?
Is there a option？ Or How to have the option?

New version:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
- Added Custom modes same as for eosm here:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=24993.msg226973#msg226973
-
Hello, I would like to see how the m00 files are reproduced and edited in the mlv app, the time recorded on the sd card with the spanning function is lost when trying to import the mlv file from the cf card, there is some operation to be done with the m00 file to be recognized by the mlv app ?, I have not found a solution for the 5d3 with the experimental version May 17.
Thank you.
-
Just make sure the .M00 files are in the same folder as the .MLV files. Then just open the MLV file and MLV App will use the .M00 as needed.
-
Hello all, is it possible to get more than 5 Custom modes (CM1 to CM5)?
I think I have red somewhere we could create our own folder, but when I do that, CM6 for example, the new folder is replacing CM5.
It still appears in Prefs/Config options though but there some folders appear twice.
5DMKIII - 1.1.3 - crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020May17.5D3113
Thanks,
S/.
-
Yes, up to 13 custom modes is possible.
-
Thanks. I have tried to create 13 folders CM01->CM13 (and deleted all others), but ML doesn't seem to like it. Crash log at the beginning.
Plus in the Movie/Custom Presets menu, only 6 choices appears: OFF - StartupKeys - CM01->CM05, others folders don't show and you can't make them to appear by using the wheel like in the Prefs one. Can we really change the folder names?
Second question, some people seem to get 1920x1080 48fps, but the max. here is 1920x1050 48fps, do I miss something?
By the way, the anamorphic preset is really cool, thanks a lot.
S/.
-
Renaming works fine:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FFsdCmK3N%2FVRAM0-PPM-500px.png&hash=c39c6fc6bcba326b928230940f260263)
Maybe you´re not following the max eight character rule but who knows. Not enough information provided.(sorry, you said CM01->CM13, no idea why it should cause a crash though)
If you want to expand your custom mode list from Movie tab you need go into source code config.c and find this place:
static struct menu_entry cfg_menusmovie[] =
{
{
.name = "Custom modes",
.priv = &config_new_preset_index,
.min = 0,
.max = 6,
.choices = (const char **) config_preset_choices,
.select = config_preset_toggle,
.update = config_preset_update,
.help = "Choose a configuration preset and start customize(restart needed)."
},
};
Change it to:
static struct menu_entry cfg_menusmovie[] =
{
{
.name = "Custom modes",
.priv = &config_new_preset_index,
.min = 0,
.max = 14,
.choices = (const char **) config_preset_choices,
.select = config_preset_toggle,
.update = config_preset_update,
.help = "Choose a configuration preset and start customize(restart needed)."
},
};I think you get the picture.

New version:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
- Removed Custom modes, not working as expected like on eosm. Crashes reproduced as described by @motionSOUL
I advice to download this new build and not use the Custom mode setting implemented before.
-
Too pity to get the Custom modes out. It was such a time saver.
Is the problem coming from your crop-rec version and the fact that you have modified it for the EOS-M or the trouble is coming from a1ex Custom modes development?
I ask because I don't know if I have to report to him on his forum side.
Thanks,
S/.
-
If you could test one of the experimental builds by simply adding a few folders and use them from the config section and see what happens that would be nice. Grab a build from the crop_rec_4k branch. Check the downloads section.
Is it crashing every time in my build or after renaming?
-
Not sure what you asked for, but here are some tests hope it will help. Tell me.
First of all if I stay with CM1 to CM5 folders all is working properly smoothly. Not a single problem when switching from any Custom modes.
5DMKIII - 1.1.3 - crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020May17.5D3113 (fresh install).
5DMKIII on.
Prefs / Config preset / OFF - Startup key - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5
CM1 chosen.
5DMKIII off.
5DMKIII on.
Prefs / Config preset / OFF - Startup key - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5 - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5 (now the CM1 to CM5 access are doubled in the list).
Changed a folder name from my Mac: CM2 -> BANANA.
All is OK. Move from CM1 to BANANA and reverse also (from 5DMKIII). All is good.
Card on computer. The BANANA folder is still there, but ML has recreated the CM2 folder.
Changed all the folder names (from CM2 to CM5 because CM1 is used in CURRENT.SET).
5DMKIII on.
Crash detected error message.
Card on computer. All the folders are here, but ML recreated the CM1 to CM5 folders also.
Restart from a fresh copy of the crop_rec.
Make more tests.
My conclusion: The crash seems to occure when there are more than 5 folders in the SETTINGS.
As soon as I start the 5DMKIII, as the crop_rec recreate the missing CM1 to CM5 folders, there are more than 5 folders then, so at the next reboot a crash occures.
Not sure of the 5 folders limit, but it crash when ML recreate other folders.
Thanks,
S/.
-
Just guessing: Maybe an issue with "_MACOSX" folders (aka: Resource forks)?
-
Actually. a1ex mentioned the recreation issue before. I thought my lockfile would be detected but seems when changing config directory it searches for the lock file in that very folder. Mistake on my part. I do not know enough "c". Anyway, changing:
char config_file[0x80];
snprintf(config_file, sizeof(config_file), "%sfirst", get_config_dir());
int first_run = config_flag_file_setting_load(config_file);to this in module.c, seems to fix it:
char config_file[0x80];
snprintf(config_file, sizeof(config_file), "ML/SETTINGS/FIRST", get_config_dir());
int first_run = config_flag_file_setting_load(config_file);Need to test it some more.
-
New version:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
- Custom folders are back(added CM1 to CM8. Crash issues should be fixed. Please test @motionSOUL and report back. Also added the fix to eosm and uploaded a new build there as well.
Bleeding edge folks! Always risks included.
-
So far so good. I have changed the folder names without problem (respecting 8 characters).
The file names aren't doubled anymore and all seems OK for the moment. I will keep you inform if I find other things. Thank you so much for your work!
S/.
-
Up to 12 characters is fine. Canon's folder handling looks like 8-Dot-3 naming convention but "dot" can be replaced by other supported characters.
-
Strange, I have tried to name one for example "1_1080_24fps" and it appears "1_1080~" in ML menus…
S/.
-
8 characters.
-
Seems to depend on cam or build.
Just tested with different builds on 7D and now I have to do more testing to write another bug report. Looks like lua_fix build has problems. EDIT: False, for whatever reason I had an outdated version installed ...
But 650D seems to work fine with 12 characters.
-
FAT vs ExFAT on the card? The 8.3 limit is specific to FAT, though I don't know how ExFAT naming limits interact with Canon FW.
-
Yes, exactly @names_are_hard.
-
I cannot test exfat with 7D because not supported there: Digic 4. Only ML enabled D5 cams with CF slot are 6D and 5D3.
On 650D it depends on file system as you supposed: ExFAT works with 12 characters but FAT32 only supports 8.
-
I have reformated my SD card in ExFAT and now I have access to 11 characters in the Custom modes and Prefs / Config preset. :)
Not sure why not 12, but only 11 of my 12 characters names are showing.
S/.
-
Totally off-topic sorry, don't know where to post:
What "battery.drain.rate.rev" is use for ?
It gives me different numbers with the same battery on different Custom modes.
Thanks,
S/.
-
Not sure why not 12, but only 11 of my 12 characters names are showing.
Sorry for messing up!
Actually only 11 characters are supported. If you create a folder with 12 or more you will only see first 11 in cam. And as soon as you select such a folder and use it as preset cam will create another folder. Using first 11 characters. Afterwards you will see 2 folders displayed with identical names.
-
Hello, I encountered another trouble with the crop. Everytime I press the shutter halfway, the 10x zoom is activated.
On other ML versions, the preview kept the same, just the overlays went OFF.
My settings:
Display / Clear overlays: HalfShutter.
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom on HalfShutter: OFF
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom with Focus Ring: OFF
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom with old button: OFF
Any idea? Thanks a lot.
S/.
-
Turn it off under the crop mode sub menu.
-
Totally forgot that, thank you Danne!

-
Hello, I've noticed in all crop rec modes (1050p 48fps / 1920p 50fps / 1920p 60fps), the RAW Video / Preview / Framing is OK but all the Realtime ones aren't centered properly.
The framing is off towards up of the frame. Question: is it possible to correct this by a way or another to be able to aim when shooting or not?
Thanks,
S/.
-
I think it's time for you to fire up adtg_gui, read a couple of related posts, and get your hands dirty looking for deeper knowledge.
-
Just a note to confirm that you really have to only use 8 characters in the name of your Custom modes if you want all to work as expected.
If you use more it seems to work properly at first but in fact it shuts down the Custom modes (set automatically to OFF) and mess with the Config presets too.
If you change the Config and restart, the state isn't saved as expected.
@Danne do you know what order is used to list the Custom modes?
Thanks,
S/.

I think your answer will be found in this thread:

Hi Danne,
I'm using your crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2019Apr02.700D115 build on my 700d, it works fine, but I get ISOless PH err(15) every time I want to use dualISO. Any idea how to fix that one?
-
It is solvable but it requires some work.
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7139.msg197146#msg197146
Follow one of the tutorials "Compiling Magic Lantern ..." https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?board=25.0 to build your own development environment (quite easy, mostly pre-scripted). Then edit and compile your build using the values found by following first link.
And do it now. This repository will get erased quite soon and there will - most likely - no easy way to get it done after deletion!
-
Hello, would there be any possibility of full anamorphic 6k with 23,903 even if it was 12 or 10 bits in 5d3 ?.
Thank you.
-
Which repo will be deleted?
-
Thank you Danne for your hard work and wonderful versions of ML. I have some Q:
1. There is an issue:
I use mode "Movie", "Presets", "3K 1:1", the resolution is 2880x1620. If x5 and x10 are enabled in Canon menu and I press zoom button, the resolution is changed to 2880x1320. If only x5 is enabled there is no this issue. I am on Danne’s “crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020May29.5D3113”
2. About custom modes. I do not understand how to use “Startup key”. I do not see the menu to choose CM.
3. What is an advantage of this CM compare to
Fast video presets for 5dIII (based on Danne's cine.lua)
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=24679.0
-
3K 1:1 is supposed to be used in x1 mode, not x5. Use the other presets for that.
Custom modes has been discussed recently. Check those threads to get a picture of best usage.
-
Of course not x5. I use zoom button only for focusing.
I can not find info about Startup key.
-
Yes in x5 mode resolution changes cause you are now in x5 crop mode. But when back in 3k 1:1 all is as expected again.
Select start up mode. Restart camera and hold a start up button i.e SET. You are now in SET "folder". Do your configurations and next time you start hold SET again. All changes will be stored. Skipping SET will start cam normally.
-
Thank you for explanation about Startup key. I believed that it can be used for choosing Custom Mods at startup.
About x5:
Cam is in mode 3K 1:1 2880x1620. I press zoom button for better focusing. If x5 is enable in Prefs\LiveView zoom tweaks\Zoom x5 ON (my mistake about Canon menu in previous post), after I press zoom button, the resolution reduced to 2880x1320, but cam is still in 3K 1:1. If only x10 is enable in Prefs\LiveView zoom tweaks\Zoom x10 ON, there is no the resolution reducing.
-
Well, 3k 1:1 and x5 zoom is pretty much the same. Only x10 will help for focusing in this case. Just use halfshutter zoomaid(x10) zoom and releasing back to normal.

here's a message to let everyone know that sd overclocking is still alive and well for the 5d3!
i just filmed a new zen episode at 3.5k under extremely challenging outdoor full sun and windy conditions with no stops for over 15 minutes thanks to the new overclocking module that ilia and danne have continued quietly working on... and it works like a champ on my sandisk extreme pro 170 card!
anyone else brave enough to play with it should do so! it's in danne's file repository...
keep up the great work, guys!
overclocking and card spanning have revitalised my workflow and my former 3*3 binning 1920 filming is now always 3.5k continuous!
the 5d3 still has a lot of life as a very serious filmmaking tool...
peace to everyone.
-
It's all Danne ;) (and a1ex originally)
-
oh my!
i can't believe a1ex has fallen off of my radar. of course, all thanks go to him first!!!
i miss the days when a1ex was right at the front of everything. we were so spoiled!
thank you a1ex!!!
-
Nice. Looking forward to your Zen work @ 3.5K w no stops @70MM13!
-
thanks! unfortunately i am still stuck with cellphone internet here making it impractical to upload 4k, so the episodes are downsampled to 1080, but the extra detail and lack of aliasing is very apparent!
i'm working on a new industrial music video and it will be uploaded at 4k :)
-
here's a message to let everyone know that sd overclocking is still alive and well for the 5d3!
i just filmed a new zen episode at 3.5k under extremely challenging outdoor full sun and windy conditions with no stops for over 15 minutes
Good news! What resolution and fps at 3.5k do you use for continued recording?
-
anywhere in the low 3000's on the x axis at 2.35:1, varying by the framing of the shot i am after/glass being used...
23.976 always for me!
also 14 bit lossless. no luck at reduced bit depths for me. never looks right... it would be nice to see development of bit reduction within the mlv_lite crop_rec module (brain fart!). i think it would look better :)
if we had true 10 bit data, with bit reduction occuring immediately after image acquisition i think 3840 true continuous recording would be attainable, but i know nothing... just a hopeful guess!
but... 14 bits is very nice and i am very, very happy! just need dual card support in mlvapp!!
-
Thank you! Would you please upload 14bit and 12,10 bit lossless frames?
-
also 14 bit lossless. no luck at reduced bit depths for me. never looks right... it would be nice to see development of bit reduction within the mlv_lite crop_rec module (brain fart!). i think it would look better :)
It will never look 14bit, that´s for sure. please upload comparison examples and explain why what you see is not true reduced bitdepths.
-
I think "true" reduced bitdepths would mean digitally reduced from 14 bit sensor output, and not done through analogue gain. I guess "true" is not the best word.
In UHD 1:1, 12 bit introduces unusual vertical stripes that don't go away: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MwIFbHDki9Cmc6sv25xabeCZIaEEXC8g/view?usp=sharing
(that doesn't happen in 3K preset)
-
Interesting. That might be fixable. I use some generic way to reduce bitdepth but it could be tweaked if not your sensor is having this problem. When I have some time over I´ll test to reproduce the issue.
The result is the same I think reducing analog gain vs digitally reduced or whatever we choose to call it. At least I´d like to see proof there´s any difference. So far I haven´t heard of anyone understanding fully how it´s done, except for a1ex of course.
-
Interesting. That might be fixable.
Just realised I should try a dark frame. But I'm not too hopeful, doesn't really look like FPN (no purple/green tinting).
I use some generic way to reduce bitdepth but it could be tweaked if not your sensor is having this problem. When I have some time over I´ll test to reproduce the issue.
Would be very interesting to see if other cameras have this issue.
The result is the same I think reducing analog gain vs digitally reduced or whatever we choose to call it. At least I´d like to see proof there´s any difference.
Maybe there's not as much of difference as I thought. Yesterday was the first time I realised those stripes only appear in UHD mode.
Shouldn't be too hard to do a comparison. MLV App can export to 12 bit from 14 bit I assume.
So far I haven´t heard of anyone understanding fully how it´s done, except for a1ex of course.
Would love to know more :)

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my head around the builds with card spanning (was this removed along with sd_uhs?). There seems to be a branch before Danne removed sh_uhs (as per post #363) named crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_card_spanning, last updated Jan 26 2020. Is this the one I should be attempting to compile if I want card spanning and not necessarily SD overclocking? Do I lose the more recent changes and updates of the main crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets branch? How do I actually compile this after using Mercurial to clone?
-
I updated my download post added the sd_uhs module. Check bottom. Place it in modules folder and restart camera. Enable it from Movie tab and wait:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
If test please report if working or not. I leave absolutely now guarantees. If card gets corrupted or worse you´ve been warned.
With that said it works for me and for @70MM13 but who knows what random users comes up with here.
Good luck.
-
overclocking is working perfectly here. on a recent episode i was recording at 3072*1308 14 bit lossless continuously for 30 minutes!
the only caveat for me remains: i have to disable overclocking at startup. if it remains enabled from the last power cycle, recording fails immediately. it's just a matter of turning it off in the recording menu at shutdown, *not* disabling the module.
i've occasionally forgotten to turn it off before shutting down, and i got around it by starting up in photo mode, turning off card overclock, and then switching to video mode. worked fine.
-
That should not happen with latest version. Did you test latest? Please upload a screen recording as it will reveal any issues.
-
afaik it's the latest... it's the one you uploaded on the day we discussed this a few weeks ago...
-
I need screen recordings. If using a fast card it should be working. It's easy to see if patch is working or not when checking a screen recording. Impossible otherwise.
-
I have been using this build with sd_uhs and card spanning running without any issues for a few weeks also. None of this patching issue, works for me with custom presets too. It has been really solid so far but if that changes I will report back. Thanks a ton Danne :D
-
here's a vid of what happens here:
there's a bit of a mess on the camera display when i do the first reboot with overclocking already on: two messages are displayed simultaneously, one being about patching success, and the other being failure to load some kind of cropmarks.
-
What card are you using? Are you using the very latest build as well? Both ml version and sd_uhs version?
File creation error can be related to card spanning feature.
Test also with an auto focus lens. Also test a crop rec preset, not passthrough. Maybe also turning crop rec off. I really need some narrowing down on this.
Also try and wait for patches to be done before pushing other buttons etc.
Before trying suggestions redownload all from the download post and do a clean reinstall.
-
If test please report if working or not. I leave absolutely now guarantees. If card gets corrupted or worse you´ve been warned.
With that said it works for me and for @70MM13 but who knows what random users comes up with here.
Good luck.
It works for me too and very well, but with some small issues.
3.5K works continuous at 12bit
I can rec. in UHD 1:1 continuous at 3840 x 1440 (AR 1,67:1) with live view while recording and 3840 x 1536 without live view while recording, all in 10bit. writespeed ~125MB/s.
I tested on different conditions:
In 34 shots i have 3 bugs: 2 clips have no Audio and 1 is totally broken -> MLV App crashes when opened, export with MLVFS give me some crazy colored stars on white background.
I'm not sure, but i think this happens if i shut down the camera to fast after recording.
In 3K 1:1 i have more trouble. After 30sec record time (AR 16:9) comes an error message.

i used all the latest versions, and i had no CF card inserted for the test. sandisk extreme pro 170. the card was freshly formatted and the camera was reset. the only thing i did was switch to 1920 for a nicer looking preview ;)
i was impatient during the demo just to show the issue. it happens the same if waiting before recording.
i will try the various conditions suggested...

wait 10min for uploading.
I think the Problem is, there is no .M00 file. only a MRX file.
-
danne, you were right about the autofocus lens!
problem disappeared immediately.
put cine lens back on... problem is back.
if there's no other solution, can you add the option to have overclock setting off by default for manual focus lenses?
-
Ok, I see what I can do about the issue. Will test when I have my hands on my 5d3 again. Thanks.

fingers crossed! :)

Wait... you recorded with card spanning and got no .M00? That should mean some data is missing. Your file's metadata tells about existing audio channels but no audio data is existing. This was why MLVApp chrashes. I implemented another check which doesn't just trust the metadata... :D If you are able to compile, you can try the fix.

Hi. I'm a long time user but it's my first post here.
I've tried Danne's last build with sd_uhs module and works perfectly on my lexar 256go 633x. A relatively cheap card.
I can reach more than 40 MBs write speed (with peaks at 50mbs).
With card spanning on, in UHD mode, write speed is around 120mbs (80 mbs CF +40 mbs SD)
I'm also able to record continue 1920x804 14bits lossless on Sd card only.
I also tried 5k anamorphic and it works perfectly. No crop factor (!) almost realtime liveview and very good quality. sd_uhs is not necessary but could be usefull on very contrasted scene.
I made a short video with this mode.
I will made a more complexe short film with this mode soon.
Thank You Danne (and others A1ex, Lila.. ) for your work.

Nice footage. 5k anamorphic is undisputable the most efficient preset of them all if filming 24 or 25fps. What lens was used?
-
New sd_uhs.mo version uploaded tested working with manual lenses in an automated way:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
Bottom of the post. Reports if working or not welcome. @70MM13 please test with your lens giving you the error before.
EDIT: Also posted new ml builds adressing yet again custom folder function. I advice to reinstall both ml build and sd_uhs module from this post:

Thanks. I used Canon EF 24-105 L.
Around F.16 a little too closed at my taste.
I had forgotten my neutral filter but the clouds saved me.
-
Danne. Is it possible to make Fps overdrive usable in 5k anamorphic mode juste like the EOS M does?
Thank You.
-
Which is how exactly?
-
the new build plus the new overclock module works perfectly now with manual focus lenses!
thanks!

Hello, the sd_uhs module works perfectly with my manual samyang xp 50mm 1.2 lens and with the professional lexar cf 1066x 160 MB / s and sdxc sandisk extreme pro 170 MB / s cards I can record in full anamorphic 6k 1.1 1920 x 3760 in 14 bits with 15.003 fps, indoors and outdoors, maybe 5 more minutes, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to enable 23,976 fps in 12 or 10 bits in this format for smooth movement.
Thank you.
-
Not possible with that high resolution.
-
New builds:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899
- sd_uhs speed increase https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12862.msg228659#msg228659
- sd_uhs.mo added as a module to Modules tab
- bench.mo added to Modules tab
Works pretty much the same as for eosm here. But works with 240Mhz(tested on 170Mb/s card)
EDIT: Think I fixed the File create error completely that came with manual lenses sometimes conflicting with patching.
-
With card spanning on, in UHD mode, write speed is around 120mbs (80 mbs CF +40 mbs SD)
Hopefully not a very dump question - but how did you get the write values per card?
-
File size / recording duration?
As in "MByte/s"...
-
File size / recording duration?
As in "MByte/s"...
Sure, thought there is maybe an option to show it live per card, like the mb/s stats that you get if you kill global draw... Thanks anyway for the hint.
-
As long as these builds contain mislabeled ISO settings, I am not going to support them, sorry.
Is it planned to return this build back to Experiments (https://builds.magiclantern.fm/experiments.html) page?
-
Not as is and probably not a priority from a1ex atm.
-
Hi, I have just tested Danne's build and it's incredible.
I would like to ask, if it would be possible to shot in 60fps in higher resolution (in anamorphic preset for example)?
I use the Canon HD format to shot in 60fps (1920x628 resolution) and then I scale the video to Full HD in MLVApp for slow motion. So is there a way to shot slow motion in higher resolution then Full HD with this build?
-
Hi all,
If anyone is interested I put together some intermediate presets for 2.20:1, 2:1, and 1.85.1. I was looking for something a little in the middle of the 16:9's crop and the 2.35 aspect ratio. All are continuous on a 1000x KombuterBay without spanning or anything.
I will try to put it up on bitbucket, but have to get my head back around that process again. I don't use it enough to be comfortable or even remember the basics, and might not have time to work through it this weekend.
All changes in crop_rec.c from Danne's crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets branch. Thank's Danne for your work. It was super easy to build on.

Eric

Nice. Will check it out when I have the chance.
Ongoing code atm:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/src/master/
I piggy back on a git account but still include hg commits working with my compiler tool:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/ml_compiler-git/src/master/
After commits I push all hg and code changes to the git account. It's all temporary. Bitbucket are deleting all mercurial sources. Bad move on their part.
-
Since the "where we're landing" question doesn't seem to be answered yet (or at least I couldn't pick it out of the end mercurial thread), I just forked your git and stuffed the changes here https://bitbucket.org/ewinemiller/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/src/newpresets/.

Amazing ! how can we download it as a autoexec "classic ML file" ? (I know nothing about coding, I'm more into video..)
-
Ask ewinemiller for a build. My laptop decided to die today so taking a real break here.
Looks like he uses ratios directly from RAW video section so meanwhile you should be able to change from there directly as well.
-

Only been tested lightly with 1.23. It's just the croprec module. Drop it into the ML\modules folder of your card. It should play nicely with the rest of Danne's latest build.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqj6ija5ttf2svc/crop_rec.mo?dl=0
Edit: Just saw Danne's post and I'll try to update this later today with full builds.

Should be fine with a single crop_rec.mo too if you use the updated code.

@Danne
Is it possible to make a 2x2 Preset like 2880x1620 (16:9) or better a 1x2 Preset like 2880x1920 (2.5:1) = 5760x1920, or is this still impossible?

Have a look on the bayer matrix. 2x2 is only possible theoretically for b/w, because you loose the color information.

This has nothing to do with programming, but with how a sensor is build. You have a RGGB layout on it. And if you just read 2x2 and start at R, you get only R pixels.

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but the only module I see when I install the Jul15 build is the Bench.mo module.
I am using the 113 version and I re-installed ML, formated, low level, tried an other card, reset to ML defaults, even created the SETTINGS folder and made a SD_UHS.EN file. I can see and load all the modules with the nightly exp 2018Jul22 build, but for some reason, this build I can't load or see any other module than bench.mo.
A lens is installed, only the SD card is in and the camera is in movie mode.

All modules are autoloaded except for bench.mo. I also plan on adding adtg_gui.mo as an optional module.
Do note that my builds comes from a fork from another experimental build. This is actually experimental on top of another experimental build.

That explains it ! Thanks, I do feel dumb now. From my understanding of the replies on this thread, the card spanning module is in the raw video section ? I cannot find it, even in the advanced menu. Could only find one post mentioning that it was in the Raw video tab, but I don't see it there.
EDIT : Found it. You need the CF card in as well for it to appear. Sorry for bothering.
-
You need both SD and CF card inserted for it to show up. For the very same reason you won´t see the SD overclock option if not a sd card is inserted.

Hi all,
l did a little comparative test of the sharpness between the 3k, 3.5k UHD, 4K 12.5FPs, 5.7k 7fps, 5k anamorphic, fullhd, fullhd h264 modes. I shot with an EF L 24-105 canon Lens at F.14 compensating the cropfactor. All were upscalled or downscalled in 4k (true 4096) which I take as a reference resolution. We can see that the sharpness is better in 1: 1 mode than in anamorphic mode, but the difference is minimal. The difference between UHD and 3.5k is not really obvious. The FullHD is very mushy and the h264 ... let's not even talk about it;) In conclusion, the most interesting modes are
- the anamorphic mode because there is no crop and a real-time feedback, the loss of sharpness compared to 3.5k is not so bad. it looks very well in 4k.
- 3.5k mode, the crop factor is only 1.6 and there is still usable feedback (zoom x5). But the ratio is wider than the 2.39. If you want more vertical resolution you have to go to 3k.
- full HD, it's ugly but it works so well!
Thank you Danne for your incredible build!
-
Just to be on the safe side what is the max safe temperature for 5D3 please? I had over 47C today in just a couple min so want to play it safe.
I'm just trying to figure out a reasonable higher res workflow. Full HD from nightly works fine and is a big improvement over H264, and in my case keeping 16mm as close to 16mm is very important. I know the answer is R5 but hopefully this will still keep on developing.

Thanks for the test!

Actually could I get a reminder on which branch is the one that is usually found on the beloved bitbucket download page (Option 1 or 5 from the branch option menu)?
Appreciate the recent quick fix for Catalina's environmental friendly when it comes to compiling the latest. Always carrying the EOSM w me everywhere I go. Such a gem!

Hello.
Since the last update with sd overclock module I can't seem to be able to format sd card AND keep ML on it. It's formatting everything. The usual menu and copy log before formatting is gone.
-
Yes, it's intentional. Formatting camera with sd uhs enabled will potentially destroy your sd card. Havn't found a way to disable patching yet so for now I disabled the keep ml after format function.
-
Can rack focus be used with raw video? I can set the endpoints and preview the focus change in liveview, but I'm not sure how to activate it after starting to record.
-
Well, ok.
And when you say "Havn't found a way to disable patching yet" does it means that even with the moduel disabled the patching is still here ?
-
No, it´s only patching when enabled in the menu. The solution could be to disable the sd_uhs menu when performing the reformat thingy(if sd patch is on) and probably not so hard to do but I havn´t been able to yet. Need more time.
-
Hi there! I wanted to say thank you for all the work on this build. It's been such a huge upgrade.
I found a weird quirk using the card spanning module. I'm using the July 15 3113 build. Not using sd overclocking as it's not working for me.
The 5x crop preset has an extra 5mbps without global draw using card spanning vs UHD or anamorphic. In those modes it tops out at 111mbps (91 cf - 20 sd) but in 5x 3.5k, the CF card climbs to 94-95, for a total of 115mbps! I think that mode is using fewer hardware resources or something and that translates into more recording bandwidth. I don't know if the way these modes behave is already well known, but it seemed worth mentioning. I am noticing differing (but consistent) speeds using different presets, with or without global draw.
I'm using a Pixelflash 1107x 64gb card and a Sandisk Extreme Pro 95mbps 32gb.
Kill Global Draw set to ON.
Edit: also it looks to me like the recording rate estimation is using 14bit raw recording in it's calculation, even though the files are in 12bit, giving a larger estimate than actual. Is this true? It seems like my recording times reflect what I would expect to get with 12bit.
-
I am noticing differing (but consistent) speeds using different presets...
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12862.msg228848#msg228848
Global draw needs extra resources, so it slow down the maximum writespeed.
maximum speed with Cardspanning and overclocking for now is BTW. 131MB/s (Nobody knows why). - > without global draw
Edit: also it looks to me like the recording rate estimation is using 14bit raw recording in it's calculation, even though the files are in 12bit, giving a larger estimate than actual. Is this true?
Yes, it shows 14bit lossless - > set in drop down menu. This is because the settings for 12,10bit... Is just a tweaking from 14bit lossless. You can check the white and blacklevel in MLVapp.
What happens if you using SD overclocking?
-
When I use Global draw & RAW Zebras in combination with card spanning + SD overclocking, I get around 112-115 MB/s while recording.
I set my resolution to get me 110 MB/s and I'm usually covered for continuous recording in pretty much all scenarios.
Extreme Pro 64gb 170MB/s + Lexar 128gb 1066X CF card.
-
Global draw needs extra resources, so it slow down the maximum writespeed.
maximum speed with Cardspanning and overclocking for now is BTW. 131MB/s (Nobody knows why).
True for UHD mode but you can reach higher writespeed in 4K half FPS or 5'7k full liveview (170 MB/S -100 CF +70 SD).
-
@Grognard
Not really , the showing writespeed is incorrect in other modes. See this test:

https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12862.msg228848#msg228848
I see that there's a lot going on here with the writespeed calculations.
You also asked what happens when I try to use SD overclocking. I am using a 95mbps Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gb SDHC card. I have a 128gb 170 coming in the mail on Monday.
When I use the overclocking, I turn it on in the settings, turn off the camera, turn back on, wait for the prompt to say it's been patched. Then when I try to record, I have gotten both "card full," and "recorded has stopped" errors. No frames recorded. I have tested it spanned with my CF card (pixelflash 1107x 64gb) and on it's own. No luck. I have also tried both 3123 and 3113 builds to see if that made a difference. Nothing. I also tried formatting multiple different ways (exfat, fat32), but I don't actually know anything about formatting cards so that was just at random and it didn't do anything.
-
I was expecting the card 95mbps Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gb to work with latest sd uhs patch.
Could you tell me what ml version you are using? Full name or link to exact build?
-
@has_abandonment_issu
This is a knowing issue. Try low level format in Camera (SD card) and have fun ;)

Hi Danne! I have been having so much fun testing this build and exploring the new creative options. You and everyone should be really proud of how much you've put into it.
I have tested these two builds:
crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Jul15.5D3113
crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020Jul15.5D3123
I did most of my testing on 3113, before briefly changing to 3123 and getting the same error. It looks to me like I'm having a similar issue as IDA_ML.
I just did it again to see exactly what was happening. Here's how it goes, I apologize if this is an annoying amount of detail, but I know you guys are troubleshooting so I'll try to describe everything:
- turn on camera, wait for it to load.
-turn on overclock module
-turn off camera
-receive patching notification
-patching done!
-go to live view, press record
-"recording has stopped automagically" "flushing buffers" "nothing recorded to card"
-turn off camera
-light stays on significantly longer than usual, about 6 seconds
-turn camera on
-"magic lantern was not shut off cleanly, skipping module loading"
-turn camera off
-light normal
-turn camera on
-receive patching notification
-patching done!
-go to ml menu and turn off patching
-turn off camera
-notification light stays on too long again
-turn on camera
-"magic lantern was not shut off cleanly"
and at that point I'm stuck in a loop and have to format the card.
This error has been consistent.
Edit: @has_abandonment_issu
This is a knowing issue. Try low level format in Camera (SD card) and have fun ;)
I will try this right now.

Same error after low level format. First I tried formatting the card with magic lantern still installed. Then reinstalled magic lantern and tested it. Same error. Then I formatted the card on the computer, then low level formatted it again in the camera. Same error.
This time I tried again but without the CF card.
The error read "card full," followed by "audio failed to stop recording: state 3" or something like that. So I disabled sound recording. Returned "card full," with no other error.
Then I went into the magic lantern menu and navigated through the various tabs to see if Magic Lantern can show what it thinks the available memory on the card is, and while simply scrolling (no change to any settings) I got an error that said "please send coredump.dat to the devs" or something along those lines.
-
I am not sure what is going on here and don't have my camera here but if it's not working giving card full etc it's better to stay off the patch on this particular card. I expect this patch to either work fully or not at all, no in betweena.
Not sure what coredump is caused for in this case but just stay off patch on that card.
Please remember. It is bleeding edge. I tried to prevent serious errors but nothing is finished.

This seems like it could be relevant.

I purchased this card with free amazon 1-day shipping to keep me busy until my 128 170mbps sandisk arrives Monday. It was $13. So I don't mind destroying the card if it helps debugging. So long as there's no risk to the camera itself.

@has_abandonment_issu
Which Mode do you use, resolution, bit...
because I have some trouble with 3K mode:
Interestingly I found out, that this mode + Cardspanning + overclocking only works with 14bit lossless continuously. If I set the same settings (AR 16:9, 2848x1602 at 14bit lossless works continously on all condition, without global draw) and change it to 10 or 12 bit - > compression error bla bla bla, everytime.
@Danne
Any Idea?
-
10 or 12bit from what menu? Under raw video menu not recommended.
-
Not in dropbdown menu. I mean the 10 or 12bit lossless (14bit lossless tweaking). Do you need a small video with this error?
-
hi everyone,
i'm having a lot of fun with the 5.7k mode, in fact i love it!
i'm wondering if there's a way to increase the vertical resolution to capture 2.35:1 without reducing the horizontal resolution?
with spanning and overclock there is plenty of headroom but i just can't find a way to get that little bit more vertical capture...
thanks!
-
Not in dropbdown menu. I mean the 10 or 12bit lossless (14bit lossless tweaking). Do you need a small video with this error?
Not sure where you select from. The bitdepth options from Crop mode sub menu should work.
-
Movie, bitdepth, 8bit, 9bit, 10bit, 12bit- > only with 3K mode I have the errors.
-
Ah, yes, Movie tab. Tell me exact name of presets giving errors and I'll try to reproduce later.
-
Here is a short video and the error file from the 3K mode test:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ABS7sbXXXDIjMHNzeFNeAr9lBh2Lj_3z?usp=sharing
I get this error only if i use 10 or 12 bit lossless, not with 14bit lossless. The resolution is not important, i use this resolution for 14bit lossless (filezise analyse says 125 up to 130MB/s -> correct writespeed). So this is the limit for continuosly record at 14bit lossless and AR 16:9.
The error comes sometimes immediately and sometimes after 30sec.
-
I know about this error. It´s always triggered from the same place in mlv_lite.
Usually I don´t add any extras to global draw but stick to minimun per installation. I also don´t change ratios from under RAW video menu but stick to Movie tab ratios but that´s maybe the case already. Lastly I didn´t test 16:9 extensively. Is it working better with 2.39:1? Is it working without sd patch added? Without using shutter fine tuning?
Thanks for the vid.
-
I set kill global draw and I tested as well with standard settings. I change ratio because of the error, so no difference. I tested 2.39:1 at 10bit - at the last resolution (2848) it works, but with 3072 not. The same without SD overclocking and the same without audio and the same without fine tuning. This all is only happens in 3K mode with Cardspanning.
-
Ok, cool. I'll have a look. Maybe tomorrow.
-
I see that there's a lot going on here with the writespeed calculations.
You also asked what happens when I try to use SD overclocking. I am using a 95mbps Sandisk Extreme Pro 32gb SDHC card. I have a 128gb 170 coming in the mail on Monday.
I have that same card (32Gb SDHC 95MB/s). It's around 6 years old and I have the same issue. My 64Gb SDXC 170MB/s gives me no problems.
So it would seem that the SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 170MB/s cards work great with the SD_UHS patch, but not the SDHC (32gb or less) counterparts.
I just came back from shootings some clips and I was using 3520x1320 14-Bit lossless and 1920x2340 (5.7k) 14-Bit lossless all continuous with green seconds counter. The preview was going from black & white to color depending on the complexity of the scene. I was using ETTR methods where when I saw raw (green) zebras, I backed out 1/3 of a stop and then recorded.
I'm on the Jul15 firmware 1.1.3.
-
Seems like the 170Mb/s cards above 32gb are holding up best so far. If anyone is willing to test with a sandisk 300Mb/s card please let me know. I want to do a short test with 240Mhz setting enabled. All tests with 170Mb/s cards are indicating "almost' working but always fails after talking a photo or enabling raw video modes. Maybe the 300Mb/s card is what will work.
-
Thanks Volumetrik I am pretty excited to get a 128gb and test it out. I'll update when it arrives.
-
does anyone have any experience with the sony "tough" cards?
check out the specs and price on this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/Sony-Tough-M-UHS-II-SF-M64T-T1/dp/B07YNVHBRB/ref=pd_vtp_147_5/137-0597058-5496919?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07YNVHBRB&pd_rd_r=ad1e4f25-8b40-444f-b8cd-bfa782b38ec4&pd_rd_w=JOLuj&pd_rd_wg=efYlY&pf_rd_p=75befe49-ac36-4a58-aab5-12fc18b6d465&pf_rd_r=3FVGYCBKGFCQ401TNFQ6&psc=1&refRID=3FVGYCBKGFCQ401TNFQ6

Here is a version with all three registers included, 160/192/240 Mhz:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/sd_uhs.mo
Above version will work with my latest builds from july 15th.
No reason to use this module more than for brief testing. With brief tests I mean enable bench.mo and run the 1 minute benchmark test. Test scenario.
With only the SD card in the camera. No CF card inserted in camera that is! Do following:
1 - Select for instance sd overclock 240Mhz, restart camera in photo mode.
2 - Run benchmark test and check the numbers. If working the first time numbers should be around 105Mb/s read speed and I think around 90 write speed.
3 - After running benchmark test take a photo then run the benchmark tests again. Usually write speed works like before but read speed will take off to around 5000Mb/s. Once that happens you might as well turn off the camera and consider the 240Mb/s patch not working.
If you for some reason don´t want to run benchmark routines above, a simple useful test would be to simply apply the patch, then enable a movie preset and start recording. Do multiple recordings to see If it works without early stops.
Do not format card in camera with sd patch applied. If formatting see to it that sd uhs patch is set to OFF.
What cards havn´t been tested? Well. 32gb sandisk 95mb/s seems not to work with 160Mhz. Will it work with 240Mhz?
We still havn´t tested the 300mb/s sandisk cards either 32gb or above. Mainly tests should be if you have any of these cards.
Don´t hesitate to ask questions and be careful. There are risks:

Would be a first here: UHS-II card in overclocked UHS-I compatibility mode.
-
Would be a first here: UHS-II card in overclocked UHS-I compatibility mode.
You´,ve been successful? But not on a 5DIII right? What card exactly?
-
No, just wanted to express it would be a first here = ML community. Don't know if SD overclocking with UHS-II in UHS-I mode was ever tested somewhere else.
-
Yes, aware of this. Probably not gonna work but might be a slight possibility.
-

This all is only happens in 3K mode with Cardspanning.
I can´t reproduce this issue. Recorded longer taes with sd overclock on 24 fps 3072 resolution 10bit. Works ok here.
-
Interestingly.
How long you have recorded? Mostly it happenes in the first 45sec. Sometimes it is depending on what you film (how fast it happens).
I used a SanDisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s 128GB and a Komputerbay Prof. 128GB 1066x.
-
I'm currently testing with a Lexar Professional SD3XCII 10 128GB x1000 with a theoric
write speed of 150MB/s . When I'll test I'll also do it with the CF, it will be a Lexar Pro UDMA7 1066x with a theoric write speed of 160MB/s.
Wait and see.
Edited: fixed wrong assumption
-
Not sure which card you are using. Lexar lists a "Lexar Professional 1000x SDHC/SDCX UHS-II" card with 150 MByte/s labeled but for read speed only. Cameramemoryspeed tested the 128 GB variety and it had a maximum speed (without overclocking) below 96 MByte/s.
There are at least two varieties of Lexar 1066x. One with premium write speeds (quite close to theoretical write performance) and another one not that fast.
I strongly recommend testing them with a decent cardreader.
-
Well. The numbers seem to give you a point: reading speed is increasing way more than writing.
Here are the results, as following: mode,1st Write/1st Read/2ndWrite/2ndSpeed
sd module off: 20.5 / 21.8 / 18.8 / 21.8
160 MHz: 50.3 / 70.1 / 65.6 / 70.1 ===> if only WRITE speed is what counts, that mode is the best as it's overcranked to the minimum and it gives the same average write speed results
192 MHz: 64.4 / 83.0 / 49.8 / 83.1
244 MHz: 63.5 / 101.7 / 50.7 / 101.8 ===> Best READ mode
CF+SD Write: SD / CF => total
OFF : 14.7 / 113.5 => 128.2
160 MHz: 43.9 / 93.1 => 137
192 MHz: 42.3 / 94.3 => 136.6
240 MHz: 54.7 / 89.5 => 144.2
I'll try to make some shot / raw videos in different mode tomorrow. It's anyway a BIG difference of minimum x2 in terms of write speed, just using the 160MHz.
-
Please run benchmarks with cardreader connected to your computer first. Both cards.
-
I don't think I have a decent card reader, as I can record quicker than reading / writing the CF on the computer. It may not be bad (the adapter) with the SDHC, will try tomorow.
-
I'm currently testing with a Lexar Professional SD3XCII 10 128GB x1000 with a theoric write speed of 150MB/s . When I'll test I'll also do it with the CF, it will be a Lexar Pro UDMA7 1066x with a theoric write speed of 160MB/s.
Wait and see.
I think you may be referring to a discontinued model of that card. It just so happens that I have a 64GB version of said card.
Can you confirm that you're talking about this one ?
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FzfmqffK%2FIMG-5957.jpg&hash=f3fe19e105a9b70bd41a62fe59c1977a)
If so, I have tested it multiple times with card reader benchmarks and in camera with & without SD_UHS. My conclusion was that I found it very unstable performance wise. Sometimes I could get 118MB/s (SD_UHS 160Mhz + Spanning) writing for minutes at a time on the 5D3, other times my SD UHS-II card reader benchmarks were sub-standard, like 40MB/s and dropping.
Bad performance, to the point where I was seriously doubting the card's legitimacy. I bought it second hand with the 128GB 1066x 170MB/s Lexar card which runs flawlessly, so can't be sure.
For the reasons stated above, I don't use that card and I don't recommended for our use case.
-
My cards:

Obviously I was tired last evening, but at least I did some benchmarks on the mkIII ^^
What can I use to benchmark the cards on a computer ? Tested them with SpeedOut :
The SD is reporting an average of 87 MB Read / 77 MB Write
The CF is reporting an average of 133 MB Read / 130 MB Write
-
Okay, I did some test with the 166MHz Mode.
It's recording continuous 3072x1320,12-bits lossless (preview is cropped, but with framing it's usable to aim/focalise). I've ran a 1 minute long recording, kept green all the time. BTW I'm also recording sounds. I moved the camera a lot to make some sudden image change (and thus trigger some more activities), changed exposition during recording. Additional settings: card spanning on, preferred card CF, global draw off when recording. If it's counting, all my cards are formatted to exFat with default settings (did not played with cluster size).
ALL WORKED LIKE A CHARM. It was not the case before. It was working, but only for a couple dozen of seconds and with yellow indicators at best. What I can say is that the 166 MHz mode made my cards usable for raw recording.
I'm pretty aware that these are not the best fit cards for ML& MKIII, but the last versions of Danne's ML and modules made them pretty usable for the cases I'm aiming.
No problems while shooting. I'm going to play a bit with the patch on @ 166 and I'll try with the others after.
-
160Mhz is the only patch working solid so far with at least 170mb/s and probably 64gb 95mb/s cards. Mostly heard about sandisk cards but your lexar card works too?
If testing other patches easiest to test with only sd in the slot.
-
I can confirm that the 166 MHz patch is working with my Lexar card. It's at least doubling the default speed. Tested continuous 3K rec one more time and it's working for more than a minute without a glitch. It's staying green except each couple of 15 secs, where it's flashing to orange for a second before coming back to green (maybe a buffer/cache issue, it's not affecting my record)
@Danne a few post ago I posted my values, tested with only SD in:
OFF : 20.5 / 21.8 / 18.8 / 21.8
160 MHz: 50.3 / 70.1 / 65.6 / 70.1 ===> if only WRITE speed is what counts, that mode is the best as it's overclocked to the minimum and it gives the same average write speed results
192 MHz: 64.4 / 83.0 / 49.8 / 83.1
244 MHz: 63.5 / 101.7 / 50.7 / 101.8 ===> Best READ mode
With my cards I was not that far from the wanted bandwidth for continuous 3K. Doubling the SD write speed did it.
-
Ok, could you test 240Mhz in photo mode. Run benchmark test, then take a photo, then run benchmark test once again. What readings are you getting from the second test? I want to know if your card will give consistent results or somehow breaks or not.
What´s your max write speed for your card? Seems around 70mb/s?
-
71.5 / 101.9 / 64.5/ 101.0 (no picture in background, card was cleaned)
Took 3 shots, RAW, and then ran again:
54.5 / 101.9 / 65.5 / 101.8 (one of the pictures I shot was in the background)
Edit: @240 MHz
Edit2: Ran a couple other shots, and a video, and one more benchmark (did not restart the camera since first test) 65.4 / 101.8 / 66.7 / 101.0
Edit3: the average write speed during the tests was 64.6
Edit4: The 240 MHz option seems to work on my setup.I'll try to stay on that mode for a while and report. ==> RAW recording not working in that mode for longer than a few seconds, (first try was just a start stop video) got raw error and camera in state where I need to pull of the battery.
Edit5: Going back to 160 Mhz immediately makes everything working back.
-
Are you running the tests in photo mode? Yeah, this means your card is probably working stable only in 160mb/s mode.
Just for the fun of it. Here´s a patch which works faster but not stable on my card. Maybe you are luckier:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_jip_hop_git/downloads/sd_uhs.mo
-
Yes, photo mode.
Trying your module now.
Edit: reverted to previous. This one is unstable, gives me err02 and full card errors
-
Hi again everyone I just wanted to update that I did receive a Sandisk 128gb Extreme Pro 170mbps card, and the patch is working correctly and I can record at 125mbps without global draw or 115 with.
This is further confirmation that the 128gb cards seem to work consistently.
It's awesome! Thank you guys again it's like I have a brand new camera.
-
I'm getting a lot of "file create error"s when using the sd overclocking, mostly in UHD mode. It seems to happen if I enable anything in global draw. It will also happen randomly, but it happens consistently if I enable something in global draw, then restart.
Edit: I purchased my card off of ebay, and while it benchmarks correctly and does function with ML, I have reasons to be suspicious that it's not authentic so I ordered another one from B&H and will update if this error persists with that card.
-
What are your exact settings for the 5d Mark iii? I have the 128gb A2 v30 170
-
What are your exact settings for the 5d Mark iii? I have the 128gb A2 v30 170
That model is a micro sd with adapter right? I'm using a SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-I SDXC (but it might be a knock off). Firmware 3113. All global draw overlays set off, but global draw on. UHD mode with 12 bit set to on in the external menu. Card spanning on. SD overclock on. If I turn on any cropmarks or histogram or anything else in global draw it will return a "failure to create file" error when I try to shoot, and it will continue to shoot just using the cf card.
Sometimes it works, but if I turn the camera off and on it will usually return an error on the second start up.
-
Hi Danne, thank very much for your build. It's amazing !
Today I installed your latest from today I guess. I have the 5D3 with 1.2.3.
I work with the 5.7K Anamorphic but I have some issues with the global draw I think. When I record with the global draw my "speed record" is always in the orange and after 30-40seconds the record stop automatically. If I disable the global draw everything works and my speed record is green and around 90Mb/s, and I can record without limits.
I record only on my CF Card Sandisk Extreme Pro 160Mb/s. Do you have an idea if it's possible to fix this ?
Thank you

It sounds like you’re describing normal operation. Global draw will reduce recording speed, I believe because it uses up system resources. Also recording in higher frame rates reduces speed, as well as the firmware build you’re using. 3123 is slower than 3113 in my testing and seemingly in general.
Is it just that speed is reduced when using global draw? The speed reduction should be around 10%.
The great thing about dannes build is that you can turn on card spanning, which will let you record to both SD and CF cards. That should get you back to normal speeds, or even faster with global draw off.
-
I have an update from my 3K mode trouble:
- Problem: Can't record 3K mode with cardspanning (+overclocking) + 10 or 12bit, only 14bit lossless.
- Here is what happens: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ABS7sbXXXDIjMHNzeFNeAr9lBh2Lj_3z?usp=sharing
I tested so many tests the last days. many combination of settings and installation (only CF, only SD and both).
And now i found a way, that it's works:
default settings (fresh install, or fresh ML files/ without config) + cardspanning + without SD overclocking + 10/12 bit.
-> working and with 10bit continuous with live view or 12 bit without.
Trouble:
- if i set SD overclocking (160mhz) ->failed
- if i set in Overlay: Histogram, Waveform and Zebras (raw), with or without kill global draw ->failed
- but, if i set in Overlay: Histogram and Waveform (without zebras) and kill global draw -> working
in summary: -> only working without SD overclocking!
- If i want liveview i need to disable Zebras, Histogram and Waveform manually (not possible to simply disable global draw)
- If i want without liveview i need to disable Zebras manually (not possible to simply disable global draw or kill global draw)
-> The frustrating things is: this is only happens in 3K mode. In all other modes, i can use SD overclocking and Overlays.
------------------------------
I also tested Benchmark with your SD overclocking module:
i tested step by step from your discription! (only SD, photo mod, benchmark -> picture -> 2. benchmark)
I used a SanDisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s 128GB
without overclocking -> working (logical)
160mhz -> working (logical)
192mhz -> write ~80, read ~87 (both tests works surprisingly)
->
240mhz -> failed (5000mb...) at 1. and 2. test
so, back to 192mhz ->failed, and everytime...
The test is probably not that reliable...
@Danne
Maybe this helps a little bit
-
Thanks for the screen recording.
Tip. Only way for me to check for errors is to know if we can have a reliable reproducable issue. If anyone present an error one should always also go back to main intent when I buillt my presets. And that is very easy. After install select your preset and set to desired bitdepth. Then start to record. If this i working ok we at least know what works.
Next, if adding functions after this you need to find what function is causing the issue.
In general. If disabling zebras or histogram and such will make it work this is to me acceptable. I personally choose reliabilty recording over histogram and zebras. But that´s me.
So, what is actually working for you when having sd overclock enabled? Is there such a thing?
-
-> The frustrating things is: this is only happens in 3K mode. In all other modes, i can use SD overclocking and Overlays.
But in 3K mode:
If overclocking enabled, I can record CF only, sd only (10/12/14bit - > less resolution, because of writespeed) and 14it with cardspanning (continuous at 2848, AR 16:9). But not 10/12 bit with Cardspanning.
-
I am sorry. Not clear to me. You install my build, enable sd overclock and start to record? Nothing extra enabled, zebras, histogram etc? Could be your cf card if so. I use a transcend cf card and from my tests I couldn´t get your issue.
-

I am actually having close no no issues. Thanks so much Danne, with the SD overclocking I can afford to have everything with 14-Bit lossless !

Thanks for reports. The more the better to nail down potential issues. Also what is actually working is important news.

I'm not sure what you mean. If I install, than enable overclocking and record in 3k mode - >SD card only (without CF card inside) or CF only (Cardspanning disabled) - > working in all bitdepth.
Default setting is 12bit and 2.35:1. If I enable Cardspanning - >failure
also with AR 16:9 and/ or 10bit.
Without extra settings.
I use a Komputerbay professional 128gb 1066x.
@Volumetrik
Sometimes it takes up to over 1min, especially with less resolution (2.35:1).
and most tests I set AR 16:9 (max. Resolution in this mode)
-
We need more testers but seemingly it works ok for others. Do try another cf card. Komputerbay cards are known for inconsistency.
-
@Danne
Yes we need more testers.
I tested other CF Cards:
- a old SanDisk Extreme 120MB/s 16GB CF card
- SanDisk Extreme Pro 160MB/s 64GB CF card
Both fresh install/ default settings.
Settings changed:
Preset: 3K 1:1, overclocking enabled, AR 16:9, 10bit, cardspanning enabled ->restard -> waite for overclocking and nothing more.
-> record with 3072x1728 at 10bit lossless

First test using your settings did a minute with no corruption issues. Had one frame (206) that had a compression error. Frame demonstrated in the screenshot below. Write speed was at only 89.35 MB/s.
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fk8xXYwB%2FScreen-Shot-2020-08-13-at-6-02-49-PM.png&hash=a28ff12cc83b027b9b9b722f35c80c14)
Second test with 16:9 10-bit stopped at 12 seconds because it was writing at 120.14 MB/s. I think this one also has one compression error, however I can't recall the frame and I can't see it by playing through the footage.
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FTwdB1vK%2FScreen-Shot-2020-08-13-at-6-07-59-PM.png&hash=6fb8e166c4766cb18f1570b199883276)
You can see the file sizes for the second test highlighted. You can also see the sizes for the 1 minute test at 2.35 AR just above.
From my hardware, camera and settings, I have to stay around the 110MB/s to get full continuous footage. That figure might be different for others reading this.

@Volunters
Interestingly, there is no pop out console while recording?
which firmware do you use?
I use 113 and can rec. up to 125mb/s with liveview and 131mb/s without (UHD mode).
In my case it never stops recording, but I see multiple compression error on frame *
Easily you can close your lens cap for less writespeed, but if you don't see the console message it will not really work.
but maybe you can enable console in ML menu under scripts.
-
Bender@arsch I get a similar error when recording higher framerates (either 1920 @ 60fps or 1050 @ 48fps) while using card spanning. I am currently using a 95mbp/s sandisk 32gb card. I haven't tested the error aggressively so I'm not sure if it conflicts with other settings.

1.1.3 Latest Danne build Jul15 with stock SD_UHS @160Mhz + Spanning +Raw Zebras + Global draw + Digic peaking
I did get the console message, but it kept on recording. (forgot to mention sorry) The compression error message was only for the frame 206 which was blank as shown. I agree that this is not ideal and it partially obscures the liveview, but the recording was okay and was fully available to view in MLVApp afterwards.
So in a sense, I did (kinda) reproduce your error for the compression, but I could not replicate the ''failed'' portion of it. The recording works, albeit for that singular blank frame.
Also, to think of it, I did a day-long shoot with the 5DIII in June and I did get that error (frame compression + console appearing on liveview, but still recording) recording 3K 1:1 present in 2:1 aspect ratio at 10-bit non spanning only on CF recording.
Bender@arsch I get a similar error when recording higher framerates (either 1920 @ 60fps or 1050 @ 48fps) while using card spanning. I am currently using a 95mbp/s sandisk 32gb card. I haven't tested the error aggressively so I'm not sure if it conflicts with other settings.
I also got errors using my 32GB SDHC 95MB/s SanDisk. I think the newer SDXC 170MB/s cards work better in our use-case.
-
Ok, so getting compression errors will need some tinkering. There should be none. I will take a look and see if I can tweak some.
-
@Bender@arsch, @Volumetrik. Could you test this version in 3k modes. I changed reg 713c and 7150 when in 24fps. So this test differs only when camera is set to 24fps and in the 3K 1:1 preset.

@Danne
Thanks for your hard work!
I tested it out,... And it works lovely!
Same Settings:
fresh install/ default settings.
Settings changed:
Preset: 3K 1:1, overclocking enabled, AR 16:9, 10bit, cardspanning enabled ->restard -> waite for overclocking and nothing more.
-> record with 3072x1728 at 10bit lossless
Recording over 90sec without failures!
I also tested 12 bit and kill global draw - > working
And again, but this time with Overlays (Histogram, waveform and zebras (raw, hide while rec.))
-> and it's working
Danne, you rocked it!
-
Very nice :).
-
@Danne @Bender@arsh
Confirmed on my end ! Everything is working well, no compression errors on 10-Bit or 12-Bit.
Over 5 minutes for both bit-depth !! Danne you're the man !

@Danne
I was so excited about the amazing anamorphic mode and card spanning, I forgot to mention something I noticed a while ago.
In regular raw recording without using any crop modes, I get different exposures while using the same exposure settings if I change bit depth.
Switching between 14 bit lossless in mlvlite, 12 bit lossless, or 14 bit lossless in mlvlite with 12 bit in the bit depth menu all return different exposures. I haven't tested any other combinations.
You can't see it in liveview, but when you play back with mlvplay in camera or bring the files onto a computer, the differences are obvious.
I remember this build originally started with you editing the ISO settings, maybe something left over? Or maybe it's a feature not a bug!
-
If you turn off lff crop rec you can turn off bitdepth options too. Instead use bitdepth handling in RAW video menu.
-
Thank you Danne.
For everyone’s reference I found that:
14 bit lossless with the bit depth menu off,
or 12 bit lossless from the raw video menu with 12 bit selected via the bit depth menu,
Both appeared to have the correct gain, so I would try those settings first if you’re trying to record without the crop modes.
12 bit lossless via the raw menu (nothing bit depth menu) appears to be underexposed, and 14 bit with 12 bit from the bit depth menu appears overexposed.
-
with the beautiful anamorphic mode giving such great results, i'm curious...
would it be possible to do it vertically also? can it be just as "aliasing-free" vertically as it is horizontally?
the reason i'm asking is because i would love to be able to do some slow-motion with this quality.
i think everyone would benefit from this if it is achievable...
thanks!
-
I have to report that sometimes the liveview is stuck in x10 zoom (this seems to happen when I go in ML menu with the trash button) and I have to click on menu button 3-4 times to reset it and ML will load again the "normal" liveview.
-
Hello, version 5d3 works very well for me, July 4 1.2.3, 88MB / s cf Lexar 128gb 1066x + 78 MB / s, extreme pro sandisk 170MB / s, 240 patching, more than 6 minutes voluntarily interrupted with parameters 1/166 iso 200 av 9.9, on the outside with the full anamorphic resolution 1.1, 1920x3760, the two cards in fat32 without restart problems when turning off and on and more or less maintained the speed, the 3x3 Binning pixels would be wonderful to obtain more than 15,003 fps no aliasing / moire.
Thank you.
-
Are you using Sticky DOF and 10x crop aid maybe ?
-
I'm on the August 15 built from Danne's repo (see the commits for the little changes between 14 and15 build)
Never experienced such a thing as a sticky x10.
Crop rec can force it to x5.
What settings were you using ?
-
Hi 5d3 users. I just got a 5D3 AND usable cards for ML : SD Sandisk 128GB 170MB/s and CF Lexar Pro 128GB 160MB/s
I am discovering ML features one by one, doing many tests to understand the tools I could use in photo and video.
I have come with an issue using Danne's build. I can't record 12 bits lossless or 8-11 lossless in any crop preset.
Here are my settings for a UHD preset.
Build : Nightly.2020Aug14.5D3113
Presets : UHD 1:1
Raw video : On, 3664x1536, AR 16:9, Data format : 14-bit lossless (written in grey, can't change it in other lossless bit depths...), Preview : Framing, Crop rec preview : auto mode, card spanning : on, kill GD : off
Bitdepth : 12
Ratio : off
FPS Override : off
SD overclock : on, 160MHz
Maybe there is something I am doing wrong. I saw older posts and some guys were using 3k preset in 12 bit lossless.
Many thanks for helping me :)

Okay, perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I'm having an issue with getting video that isn't choppy. I'm basically using the default setting for the anamorphic preset except for the resolution being set to 1600 and I have global draw off. I'm should mention I'm using a Lexar Pro 1066x. I've tried playing around with a few other settings but I haven't had much luck and just end up crashing.
Anyone mind pointing me in the right direction? Thank you!
-
I've been successfully using Danne's builds since earlier this summer (awesome work!), and I just started testing out dual iso raw video. I feel like I'm doing something wrong because I'm getting weird colors, lines, and regions of cyan. For the frame below, I used the 3K preset with the following settings:
Aug. 14 build (1.2.3)
2560x1440
16x9 AR
10-bit
Histogram and zebras enabled
Dual-iso enabled at 100/800
Slightly underexposed from ETTR
Dual-iso ON in MLV App
I also tried an earlier build and had the same issue. Any idea what I'm missing?

Everything is working so far for me.
I'm currently trying a timelapse with fps override @2.5 and raw 12bits video.
I've attached a photo for the stats, continuous.
And for the video itself, it is still recording atm.
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nilorea.net%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F09%2FIMG_20200906_154506-1024x576.jpg&hash=cec731e72a8272afe8063599a76de4b7)
Speed is a total of 179 MB/s
-
That is brutal 8).
-
@GullRaDriel
I think this is not the correct writespeed, see my test with different modes:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12862.msg228848#msg228848
You can also test it at the same way.
-
Yeah, I agree that fps overriding is somewhat helping, not doing that much encoding.
First I used MLVapp and 60fps setting and generated a 32GB avi.
Then I used Handbrake and vimeo/youtube 4k setting and got a 171 MB video X-D
Anyway, the video itself (please note that ATM youtube is still processing the highres version):
-
I'll also try a normal and long record with audio, at the highest possible continuous setting for my set up.
Pretty sure that if the processors are busy doing audio and video encoding the write speed will lessen. That, and or the various bus's that can be more used and thus limiting bandwidth somewhere.
-
Question about anamorphic fullres mode:
Currently it is fixed to 15fps. Is is possible to increase frame rate ? Tried to use FPS override but camera locks and freezes. Have to pull the battery out in order to make it operational again.
With SD card overclock + card spanning in theory can get 1800 x 2700 12 bit or even 1920 x 2880 10 bit running at 24fps for at least 10-15 sec, which is enough for me. 2:1 is my favorite aspect ratio. :)

- Expanded 3.5K 1:1 centered x5 preset height to 3584x1730(24fps)
Why this. Now we get cropped real time preview and framing instead of only framing preview when using 3K 1:1 preset for instance.
For 24fps you can use full 3584x1730 but for 25fps I had to reduce height to 3584x1660.
Needs some testing. Now we can get 16:9 3152x1730 with cropped realtime preview. Nice.

I am already finding the ability to see real time focus (albeit cropped) extremely useful, and I have also found the 3.5k x5 preset to be the most stable whenever I've tested anything before (even with a knock off SD card) in general. Very excited.
I just tested it using a variety of settings on 3.113 (card spanning on, off, overclocking on, etc). I have yet to run into any issues. Seems very stable.
The inclusion of a "preferred card" toggle in the raw video menu was a nice touch. I tried just SD card using that setting in 14 bit 1080 and it also worked well with no issues.
The new 2.07 - 1 max aspect ratio in 3.5k is really nice. I may start shooting this aspect ratio a lot. Gives me a clear foreground, middle ground, and background without the feeling of too much vertical space. Anything between 1.77 - 1 to 2.4 - 1 is really up to taste, but this feels like just right to me. I can't wait to start designing some shots and feeling it out more.
Also at 3584 x 1730 we are getting a whopping 6.2 megapixels, which is even higher than UHD 3840x1536 at 5.9 megapixels. And with the ability to see focus with global draw off I can actually shoot that resolution continuously in a lot of lighting conditions!
This is a very big update. Ability to check focus in real time with global draw off means I can shoot at high resolutions and still take full advantage of the overclocked write speeds without being totally blind. Awesome.
Thanks Danne. I'm going to be playing with this new build all week.
-
Thanks for your testing and feedback. Appreciated.
I guess one could rework all the presets while in x5 zoom and it would be possible to find real time cropped preview for all presets like on eosm. Will take too long so this will be nice to have.
-
this is truly excellent!
there seems to be something indeed about the 3.5k mode that is extra stable. i was recording at full 14 bits with a green indicator when exposed with very little clipping, and it stayed in the orange for a good 30 seconds before finally quitting when it was severely overexposed!
with overclocking and spanning of course :)
this feels like a new camera. spectacular! i really could have used this realtime preview during shooting earlier today!
i agree the extra vertical height is perfect. sometimes 2.35:1 was just too short. this is great!
hats off to you and bilal
-
Great to hear it's working!
-
Hello Danne.
Thanks for the build. I'm on firmware 1.13 and with your latest build I have a flashing liveview, alternating from parts of what is in sight with strange colors to full colored pixel view (like a TV without a channel).
Whatever the mode set it's not working and generating corrupted messages and asserts logs if I try to record.
I've tried numerous settings (spanning on/off, various résolutions/bitdepth), no one working.
@70mm what firm are you using ? 1.13 ? Have you wiped the SD before putting the new build ?

Weird, I ran it on 3.113 and didn’t run into any issues, are you seeing this in all presets, and not just the 3.5k 5x? I formatted my sd card in camera before installation.
-
i'm also running 1.1.3 and i did wipe the sd card before installing.
maybe you could try downloading again. could it be a file error that wasn't caught? all it takes is 1 bit...

Thanks a lot for the latest build, Danne. It's oustanding ! 3.5K 2:1 aspect ratio at 24fps 1.6 crop. It's basicaly 4K Super35 (APS-C) format. Just perfect for me !
Don't need anamorphic modes anymore. :)
Not sure if this is a problem or not but modules don't show on the menu.
See only two of them atg_gui and bench. But can see them in the respective folder.
Is this a bug or by design ?
When bench marking a SD card instead for some values for read performance get this message:
malloc error buffer: 16777216
Two difference Sandisk Pro 128G cards, same message.
But the work and report write speeds of 50mb/s
-
Nice.
Keep an eye on your recordings around malloc errors. Are they sandisk pro extreme cards? Otherwise might be tricky using sd_uhs module.
Modules are autoloaded in this build. Bench and adtg_gui additional only. Shouldn´t be enabled if not used. Especially adtg_gui will be tricky conflicting with crop rec.
-
Latest tests on latest build:
I got some strange crashes when I tried to record without having x5 on (using 3k 1/1)
But on the other tests with presets 3K x5, it was working and I had a working colored x5 preview while recording.
Very good effort !
I may do some more tests with whatever you come with, but not until friday (busy IRL).
Good job and thanks for the time you're giving us.
-

Please make a screen recording if you can´t nail down the issue or reproduce it exactly.
-
@danne just tried the new build and in the 3.3k preset I got compression errors at roughly 1.5 minutes of recording a few times, but I can't seem to reliably reproduce the error.
I tried going down settings in order:
- card spanning on, nothing else
- bit depth on, nothing else
- overclock and card spanning, nothing else etc.
I had an error with card spanning, overclocking, and bit depth and global draw on, as well as global draw off. It's possible it returns errors with other settings. I tested roughly a minute and a half for each trial.
Unfortunately, when I found an error, restarting and trying again with the same settings did not reliably reproduce the error. I will try more later my camera is currently cooling off.
I will also test the 3.5k preset more vigorously, since I'm eager to use it for product demonstrations for work, so it will get a lot of testing over the next few days.

I see. I think I need to shave down a few more pixels then. Let me test some.

I was reducing resolution to allow for continuous recording in each case. From 2.8k to max. I got one error at a lower resolution with global draw on, and also at max resolution with all settings checked and global draw off.
-
Ok, I shaved some height and width. Maybe it´ll fix it. If not I have to check timers. Later on that is. Downloads at usual location.
I also got my not yet released application "Switch mini" working with spanned files. Simply drag both cards at once onto Switch mini, then select (CS) setting and follow the instructions.

Thanks. It worked. 5x-3.3K preset continuous recording ~2.8K with global draw off. When recording, preview is realtime but broken colors. Also when change fps, camera freezes. When change global draw, camera freezes. Not much can be done due to the camera freezing.

Hahhahahahha. Good advice,
We are currently at a rough limit of 6 megapixels at 24fps or 144 megapixels per second.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to squeeze any more out of the 5d mkiii, but for reference we are just 10% away (3840x1920) from this camera being viable for producing Netflix content! Well like 15% away if you count total resolution area but it’s amazing how much you guys have managed to push this camera

Sounds like a really cool transcoding app, well done! Ive been busy recently, but with free time now I'll test out the new M Build out, see how it goes. I know it's a work in progress, but honestly, it's a miracle where the camera is right now. Cheers for all the work! 🔥🎥👍

Crash has become much less. Doesn't crashed when changing global draw. It "sometimes" crash when changing FPS. I was able to record 24 frames 3264x1366 continuously. (8 minutes). There is overlay pattern (https://ibb.co/FYw4JVH) when recording but it does not prevent shooting. Also image becomes greenish.
Also it would be nice if the size that is seen on the screen and the size taken is the same.

Try and find the answers to why fps makes your camera crash, also why changing global draw is affecting your recordings etc. With time and testing you´ll find your answers.
In general. All you are describing is already obvious to most users. If it was possible to change it it would have been changed already.
For real time preview check out theBilalFakhouri work.

What about noise amount? I've just made a few quick shots comparing to anamorphic mode and the noise in shadows looks more noticeable than in anamorphic. Though didn't have enough time to check it properly yet..

Ok, i double check it:
I search a good spot (bright and flat spot, without dark areas) and show in ML Menu under Raw -> 14Bit writespeed preview say 208,5mb/s or so
Here the Result:
3.5K 3584x1730 23,976fps 10bit
CF: 81,9
SD: 55,6
=137,5MB/s
-> 8424 (cf 5029, sd 3394), 1469 frames =~61sec
8424/61 =138mb/s !!!
This is a new record!!!
p.s. the indicator was orange and i stoped manuel;)

UHD 2.39 is "only" 6.170 880 pixels (3840x1607) less than in this case : 6.200 320 pixels (3584x1730)

I don't know what you're trying to say, but the important thing is the increased writespeed. And the latest build can only 3840x1536 (continuous recording too).
-> we got never more than 131mb/s

I didn’t want to overstate anything but it seemed to me also that the write speeds were faster than I expected them to be in 3.5k. Thanks for actually checking!
I think there is something about the 3.5k preset that the 5d just handles extremely well. Less system load or something.

Those are nice numbers. I am pretty sure it´s because of being in x5 zoom.

I can also confirm that the 3,5k and 3,3k modes work really well on the 5D3. I get similar results as Bender@arsch, just 2-3 MB/s less since I only have the old 95 MB/s SD-card. And I did not have to overclock it. I also get continuous recording at 3200x1800/10bitLL/24fps (16:9) and more than 400 frames recorded at 12bitLL and 0.0 exposure without a single corrupt frame. Thank you so much, Bilal and Danne for this amazing work and for bringing the 5D3 that far. I still cannot believe that the 5D3 can do this.
The only thing that I am missing in this latest build is the slow choppy preview of the flv anamophic mode which is a full-sensor readout mode. I use it a lot at 15 fps and it really works very well for wide angle landscape videography since it allows slow camera panning and provides very smooth results at 1/30-th of a sec. shutter speed. Unfortunately, flv preview becomes skewed when recording is started and I don't how to fix it. So, I was wondering if the marvelous 5x real time preview could be combined with the slow flv preview during recording so that both could be toggled with the INFO button. Also, I was wondering if the frame rate could be raised by another 2-3 fps in that flv anamorphic mode. Right now, write speed is about 75 MB/s (green indicator) at 15 fps, so there seems to be a lot of overhead for higher fps available. The EOS-M does conveniently 16.688 fps in its flv anamorphic mode and is very stable at that frame rate, no corrupt frames either. In my experience, 17-18 fps frame rate seems to be a sweet spot for optical flow interpolation to 24 fps in Resolve.

resolve does 18fps timelines so that would be a great choice! i use it sometimes instead of 23.976 and it is really nice.

When recording you can press the magic lantern menu button (trashcan) and see a current recording speed as well as a max recording speed. How accurate is that using the 3.5k preset?
Edit: Tested it myself, what I'm talking about is if you move your selector over the RAW module, and then exit the ML menu and start recording, you can press the ML button during recording, and it overlays the ML menu, with the selector still over the raw module, showing the current record speed. It doesn't seem to be as accurate as the recording indicator that pops up when recording though.
For reference with an estimate of around 163mbps from the ML menu, I can record continuously at 12bit. In case anyone else records 12 bit regularly. Actual speed is around 135mbps. I haven't experimented with the quality 10bit produces, but I am going to test that next since 10bit seems to be continuous in almost all exposure scenarios.
-
Maybe this is the silliest question here, but when i try to install this build it tells me that i cannot install it because my firmware is not 1.2.3 ... I thought the right version of the firmware was the 1.1.3 (the one i have installed)...
What's wrong?
-
I haven't experimented with the quality 10bit produces, but I am going to test that next since 10bit seems to be continuous in almost all exposure scenarios.
In my experience, the only downside of 10 bits becomes obvious when you try to push severely underexposed shadows. This results in ugly red-brownish noise in those areas, more obvious in the EOS-M. Exposing to the right greatly reduces this phenomenon which is less pronounced at 12 bits. Other than that, with normally lit scenes, 10 bits provide great results.
But please test yourself and share your findings here.

Glad to hear you like 18 fps too. I love the smooth motion blur it provides.

I think, I have another good news: The September 14-th build works quite nicely with cheap slow SD-cards without overclocking but with Card spanning active. I tested with a 32 GB no name card that provides 39 MB/s write speed, tested with a card reader. And I found that the 5D3 works with that card just as well as with the 95 MB/s Sandisk Extreme Pro. I am getting:
1) 3264x1824/10bitLL/24fps, 0.0 exposure - continuous (orange indicator)
2) 3264x1824/12bitLL/24fps - about 10 sec. recording
3) 1920x3240/12bitLL/15fps/full res. anamorphic - continuous (green indicator)
Since the write speed on the SD-card indicator was well below 39 MB/s with both cards in the above modes, I think, we could safely use cheap slow cards with no or negligible write speed reduction. In addition, we have another bonus - 10 to 20% more recording due to the spanned writing on both cards. Not bad at all!
-
I use 5d mk3 1.1.3.
I installed the last build 14 Sept 2020.
Somehow I get overexposed yellowish recordings.
I use MLVApp to develop the MLVs.
I drop the Gamma to 2 and select the best profile that satisfies me.
Before that build, I never had such distorted recordings.

Seems like an issue on your end. It looks pretty good to me. The fluorescent lights are clipped, but everything else looks great. If it's yellow, maybe you have Night Shift on your display? ;)

What I was seeing on the monitor was normal, otherwise I wouldnt record it.
What was recorded was far away.
Sorry, but I will return to a previous build to prevent any risks.

If there's nothing wrong it's always better to use the latest build. Usually bugs and other refinements have been worked on but do as you want.

exported as DNG from MLV app without any settings, and In Davinci a lut is applied and of course in the raw setting you can minimize the highlights and then you're done. the shot is perfect.
Here are the settings I modified in davinci.
project setting / camera raw tab :
raw profile cinema DNG
decode using project
color space blackmagic design
gamma blackmagicdesign
highlights recovery checked
I applied a lut. I used one that I created but you can use EOSHD LUT 5D3 RAW
in the color tab, in the camera raw menu :
color temp 3740
expo -1,5
sharpness 0
highlights -100
-
Looks good to me. @Quentin I think it's more a question of settings and shooting conditions than Danne's ML version.
-
Thanks all for your time.
When seeing something that is "suspicious", my intention is to mention it cause I like the tools I use.
I will do some dummy tests to conclude.

Hi Guys
idont know if im at the right place to talk about that but i saw your record using danne build and i have a question
i use Magic lantern since many years and wanted to share some test i did few days ago with my 5D3 before i sent it for maintenance using danne build with overclok SD
i did make some test and this what i got i did filming at 3K1 using spanning card 14 bit and it was recording continu at 24 FPS i did use MLV APP for convert to DNG and got file that is 7 Mo
i did calculation im not sure itswork like that but thus what i got
so 24 FPS X 7 Mo = 168 Mo/S is it possible and can we do this kind of calculation ?
-
What is the goal of your calculation?
-
Update: I found most of my issues.
1. I see you guys talking about 3k 1:1 (NO x5) - When i do that i have a pink screen and now record, only when X5 i can shoot 3K1:1, is this normal ?
2. I remember danne earlier builds of which I could lower 3.5k bit rate to 12 losless, but now ML menu claim it shouldn't be done on large pixel ?
1.1.3
5d3
2020Sep14
I am getting great results from what does work using card spanning is wonderful
-
i read many people said 5DM3 can not record more than 135 Mo continu at 10 bit about something like that
my calculation i got 168 Mo continu at 14 bit
-
The bit depth does not change the overall limit. Check your MLV size, and check its length in seconds and calculate with that. Converted data is different and not what the camera recorded.
-
Ok I see I will do it in this way
Thank you for your help

benchmark frim ML menu (1min)
results for any of my 10 cards will not go over 20.8MB/s
I did try oc
BUT NOT REBOOT :o
trying again...
but still did I understand wrong ? are guys working with your SD at rates higher then 20 ?
my SD does write 80 MG on my pc, I know its not 1 to 1 thing, but I see couple of posts up
claims for cheap SD to do 35Mb
and before a guy saying 55MB
so I need to know if I need to buy 50 more cards to maybe get fast one
-
Sd patch needs to be enabled. Unclear if so. I suggest a screen recording to exclude more quesswork.
-
I will be happy to share my screen capture,
but where is the sd patch thing ? are referring to SD OC option it self ?
when ever I enable OC the camera will not take 1 frame.
I press rec and its sat automatic stop
steps:
1. shot a video on 3.3k 16:9 I can do it for few sec - 7-10
2. goto menu, enable SD OC
3. reboot camera
4. wait for patch done msg
5. hit rec
6. no frame is taking
then I need to reinstall ML because it would keep tell me that camera did not shut down properly
even if I disable SD OC
ok making a video to show you
-
Please note the first rec was stopped by me, my fingers is out of frame.
But this is whats happening when i enable sd oc

Hello all, I am interested in this build primarily for the real time live view, but upon installing it I am still getting the choppy low res view even when using the 3.3k 5x preset. I saw on the thread about maybe disabling global draw and that hasnt made a difference. If anyone can help me get that working I would appreciate it
-
What's not working? Where did you get info about real time preview?
-
Maybe Im not understanding what is being described, for 1x 1080p recording the live view runs full resolution and real time/smooth, on other builds ive primarily recorded 2880x1440 in 5x mode but the live view for that is low resolution and slow/choppy. I took this as making the 5x liveview for higher resolutions run real time and show framing

Say, I can't remember user name but i was reading the liview refactoring project thread
And gave a try yesterday to enable UHD 1:1 liveview
Was playing with regs and could see things changing, for instance i have started seeing thing but lost it.
Then something happened and I had to power cycle the cam.
When it came back i could not remember which one was it, spend 3 hours trying with no luck.
Couldn't understand the routine logic behind when to tweak what.
Do you have any clue which regs could be the needed regs to make this happen.
I don't mind to invest time in it, just need a lead.

beba, this looks like rolling shutter. Try using (1) a tripod, (2) a wider lens, or (3) a gimbal. You will have a hard time getting stable footage when shooting handheld while walking.

I never got an answer to my question on the real time preview for this build, so i took a quick video to make sure what im talking about is clear, for the 1080p raw that is what i would call real time, its full color and full speed, when switching into the 3.3k preset the preview is desaturated and extremely choppy. It sounded like people had the 3.3k preset running like the 1080p preview with proper framing, am I missing something or is this how its supposed to look?
-
I don't think anything outside of the 1080p stuff is expected to give a real time view.

There is a new 5x preview mode for the 3.3K and 3.5K presets. But this is currently a 5x zoom preview (only a small area). How to use:
- for 5x preview while recording + before = set global draw to off
- for 5x preview only while recording = set "kill global draw"
Benefit is: faster writespeed.
BTW. If you want to use this Preset you need cardspanning, sd overclocking and maybe less bitdepth (depending on scene) .
-
Pay attention to description at the bottom while selecting a preset. When it says cropped realtime preview it actually means "cropped" realtime preview.

@Danne: what is the current best mode available to shoot in 1080p with 5Dm3? Does the unsqueezed 48p with compression still have a gray or choppy preview? Thank you
PS: I no longer have 5D to test myself, but working 1080p more than 37fps mode with working preview would be awesome enough to buy one again.
-
Sorry, someone else could answer. I rarely touch my 5d3 nowadays.
-

Any ML build wil do your job. Set to 1080p mode n increase the fps overide. I think it can go upto atleast 40fps
-
Actually, tested fps override and above 36fps seems to cause corruption. Therefore I added a 38fps preset just now. Think a1ex had around 40fps working at some point or close to it.

5D III currently by Danne's Build:

1920x1050 48fps
1920x960 50fps
1920x804 60fps

Edit: all is 3x3 binning and it's streched.

1050p 48fps
Full working preview ;)
Wow, this sounds amazing and should be given more attention. The last time I was shooting with 5D, there's been only build by a1ex with 48p (3x3 binning), but the preview was gray/choppy or squeezed/incorrect framing. Any leads on how to get this mode working? Last time I checked, I couldn't get anything with full-sensor working from these experiments, so I thought Danny's work is related to crop modes.
Thank you,
-
Nothing changed. It´s still stretched preview. We need to be realistic here. It still works very well and is totally usable for me and most users. If you can´t work with the shortcomings please do not rebuy the 5D3.

Thank you. I've never said I want to rebuy, just asked what the updates are, as it is not that easy to keep up with the forum.
The stretched preview wouldn't be that big of an issue, but the framing is not accurate for 16:9 as far as I remember. So not that easy to use in the real world.

Is there anything new besides 38fps preset that you need us to test over yesterday build ?

In November 2018 there was an option of 1920x3240 10 and 12 bits with 110 MB / s (90 + 20) between the CF + SD, which would be good with the new speeds, thanks.
-
Could it be possible to use the 5d3
M-Fn button for false color quick switch? It could be very useful. Thanks a lot!
-
You can do this by simply use two LiveViews, the first one set as you like and the second one with the False Color activated.
Then use the Info button to switch between the Normal LiveView and the False Color LiveView.
I'm not in front of my 5D but there is an option to activate more than one LiveView (2,3,4) and you can set each as you want.

Hello, I am testing real anamorphic filming with a 5DMKIII and an Isco Ultra Star x2.
For the moment, I am filming in 1600x1290 - 23.976fps with no crop to get 3200x1290.
Is there a way to keep the same 2.48 ratio and to raise the vertical resolution by using crop modes or not ?
Thanks,
S/.
-
Crop modes can go full sensor 1x1 resolution if that's what you're asking.
-
Is 1290 the max vertical resolution without using crop mode?
And what is the maximum vertical resolution in crop mode if you want to keep 23.976fps?
Thanks,
S/.
-
1290 max.
Around 3.5k 24 fps.
Instead work the anamorphic presets. You'll get 6k 24fps without any need to use any extra glass.
-
@Danne quick question while you are here :)
I know there is 1080 24fps 1x1 preset, which is great, but can you confirm one thing : in slowmo presets (48fps, 50fps, 60fps) with crop checked in Q menu of the preset, it is also 1x1 ?
-
Yes. 1x1.
-
Thank you !

-
Sorry for this question Danne but I'm a bit lost in all the presets modes.
If I would like to shoot in 1920x2160 / 24p without using your anamorphic modes (which are really really great by the way) but just normal shooting with a strange ratio, is it possible with your build? Because, when I raise the resolution (to get more vertical one), it is written in the presets 15p or 7.5p…
Thanks for any help on this…
S/.
-
Presets are mostly optimized already. If those aren't enough you probably need a better camera. But not knowing exactly what you want I'll leave your questions for others to answer. No time atm.
-
1920x2160
as if you plane to shoot like, square ? 0.88 ratio ?
-
No, not really. It is because I have bought an ISCO Ultra Star x2 Anamorphic lens and would like to be able to shoot 1920x2160 to get 3840x2160 24p, for the moment I only manage to get 3200x1290 unsqueezed.
S/.
-
Already anwered. 1290 is max resolution if not accepting cropped recording. Sell your lens and use anamorphic preset instead imo.
And, recommended to test out those presets and really learn them one by one since it will eventually help you realize what works and not atm.
-
I have well understood what you've said, what I don't know is how to access more vertical resolution in crop mode without using an anamorphic preset.
I can shoot 1920x2332 24p in anamorphic, but I would like to shoot this resolution with 24p but without the deformation. Is it possible? What preset do I need to use?
Thanks,
S/.
-
None of them will actually. Only anamorphic will work with standard frame rates.
-
Anamorphic mode is not for anamorphic lenses.
What could help is crop mode, if there would be decent 4:3 preset then you could iuse some 2/3'' sensor lenses with your anamorphic lens x2 to get similar FOV to what you have now and maximum resolution .
crop modes are optimized for 16:9 and cinemascope ratios, You can trim sides from 16:9 but its not real maximum 4:3, its just not many people need it
In theory 2200x1790 could be possible if you would take sides from 2.8k and applty them to top and bottom resolution while reducting left and right, Not sure if that would help but it might be the highest 4:3 resolution this camera could handle at the moment and this also could help us get nice 16mm film emulation preset in 4:3.

Ah You have 5D3... i thought it was M.

I think that's a very good answer to help him.

anybody have a copy of the build from BEFORE Oct. 17th?

I agree, I just wanted to test out a few things, the latest build has gave me some weird issues that's I've never encountered before, lot of battery pulls, but I'm not sure if it's the build, something in the settings being off, or the camera dying on me lol
thank you for the links :)
-
You could also desctibe your issues here. What preset used causing those issues and even upload your SETTINGS folder for us to reproduce.

I didn't want to bother you because I know you're a busy guy and I thought you was taking a break from the 5d3 stuff. If I can recreate it I will try to take a picture of it. It's been a few different things all in the newer 5k anamorphic mode, like full on pink distorted frozen screen, another issue a error pops up on the screen that looks more like from the canon side of things, and other occasions of a hard freeze within a few frames. fps override is off on all issues, but I will try to recreate them, I was just worried that the canon error may have been super bad. lol

@Danne
Can you Re-center again in the new 3.5K 5x zoom crop Preset? It's a little bit to bottom mid.
Thx
-
Been a while. Maybe could take tonight.

and if you could add 8K RAW + 5G WIRELESS would be great thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
(just kidding ;D !)

Hi guys,
thank you for your amazing work trough all these years.
I'm using latest Danne's crop_rec_4k & ISO experiments with 5D mark iii.
With 3.5K 1:1 centered x5 preset I get constant "compression error -3" and "stdev too large" errors after about half a minute of shooting resulting in corrupt frames in MLV app. But the recording continues with green status. I'm using SANDISK Extreme Pro CF and SD cards with overclocking. It happens with any of the possible resolutions.
Preset 3.3K works fine but I can't get it to record 25FPS. If I try FPS overide to 25FPS camera crashes.
Any clues for me?
Thank you!
I tried 1.1.3 and 1.2.3 firmwares.

I'm not sure, but I see no difference in 3.5K. 3.3K is nearly perfect, but I get some crazy vertical lines/ stripes in all previews.
-
Hm, I´ll have a look. Does it affect recorded file too?
EDIT:I don´t think what you are referring too regarding stripes is related to recent changes. This has been there for long. As long as recordings are fine all is working as before and expected.

Yes. But this issue is only in 3.3K.

Yes, it´s because of modifying width to be able and preview cropped and in realtime. Still good.
-
After a week of searching the forum a can't find an answer, so I hope somebody helps me out with advice.
Using 3.3K preset (fresh install, all default settings) works great in 23.980 FPS but when I try FPS override to 25 FPS camera freezes. Battery pull required.
Any ideas? Thanks

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the HDMI monitor connection with the latest build Nov 26, 2020. Using a DJI Ronin RS2 Pro gimbal with camera control cable and Raveneye for wireless HDMI monitor.
1. If I just connect camera control cable ML will freeze when pressing record button on gimbal. But, if I use the start/stop button on the camera it records fine and can use anamorphic modes without issue.
2. If I add HDMI cable for external monitor (Raveneye with RS2 Pro), I can monitor the output from the camera live!
3. (This is the main issue) If I add HDMI cable for external monitor in #2 and press the start/stop to begin recording the camera freezes and needs a battery drop.
Attempting with:
1. Anamorphic
2. 16:9
3. 12 or 14 Bit
4. card spanning: on (256GB Extreme Pro CF and SD cards), ML on CF.
Is there a certain settings combo to get HDMI to work with anamorphic modes? The issue appears to be with ML and not the RS2 as the feed works fine while not recording and when recording begins the 5DMIII chokes.
Much Appreciated!
-
I think you should not use FPS override. if you want 25 fps then switch to PAL and select 1080 ALL-i @ 25 fps in the canon video compression options.
-
24 fps is maximum for 3.3k preset. It´s also informed when standing at the preset.
-
Also 5.7k (anamorphic) is the max. 24fps.
But I thought with write speed approx 95mbs somehow maybe 25 f. p.s. would be still possible?
-
Not the issue. Maximizing height affects timer registry. Reducing height will allow for higher fps. Just choose another preset instead.
-
Hi Danne and thank you for everything you've done for this community.
Is it possible to set/lock the HDR live-view preview only on 1 ISO?
in other words, can we stop the constant Flashing/Switching between the 2 ISOs in HDR mode while recording?
Becsaue it makes it almost unusable and impossible to see what youre shooting every other 5 seconds.
-
Long time without posting.
Thanks for the work @Danne, I'm going to test your latest build tomorrow :-)
You're awesome. Thanks for your contributions !

Can ignore this. Experimenting more the HDMI feed works perfect, the issue appears to be with the control cable. Camera crashes requiring a battery pull if using miniUSB to macbook with canon eos utility 3 app to control iso/record/aperture or using the ronin rs2 button controls that work fine with 1.2.3 firmware and not ML. This issue probably not related to your build
-
Ok, that´s good. I really never use hdmi and external screens so can´t say anything here.

@Danne
Some good news about the 5x 3.3K vertical stripes issue?
I tested your currently newest update and it's still not gone. You can see it especially in dark area, mostly greenish.

There is no specific settings. It's only in 3.3K mode in all preview modes (with or without global draw) and in MLV, since you try to centered again the last time.

Yes, mlv. Recordings are ok over here so your settings or anything else you are doing will be important to understand if you want to solve your issue. Please read up on how to report bugs effectively.

Hello Danne, a question for you: would it be possible, technically speaking, to add a preset which could record at, for example, 2808x2340, in 24p (not in an anamorphic mode)?
What could be the greatest vertical and horizontal resolutions in 24p (no anamorphic)?
Thanks,
S/.
-
The limitations are all presented through each and every preset. If full resolution would work with 24fps it would already be there. It's not like we're holding back.
-
Thanks for the answer, I try to understand:
In 3K 1:1 mode, I can record 1920 vertical resolution (24p).
In Anamorphic mode, I can record 2340 vertical resolution (24p).
What, could be the maximum horizontal resolution of a 2340 vertical file if I wasn't in an anamorphic mode and I would still want 24p?
Not sure if it is clear?
Thanks,
S/.
-
Not really. If you push resolution and ratio to max then you are using highest thinkable reolution with 24fps. A simple test going through each preset will give you your answer.
-
I know, I have already done that, I have tested every presets since two days.
The problem is if I want 24p, the max vertical resolution now is 1920 pixels with the 3.1K 1:1 (without using anamorphic).
But, some presets offer more vertical resolution, like 2340, in anamorphic.
My question was just if it is possible to get 24p, 2340 vertical resolution, even if I loose some horizontal one and if I loose one what could be the horizontal resolution?
I don't get why it is possible to record 2340 pixels vertically in anamorphic but not in an unsqueezed preset.
S/.

Hello Danne, I have two questions, how does one manage to create its own presets (or the list is full) ? And does the function of restoring ML when formatting not compatible with your version ?
-
Not full.
Not secure using sd_uhs module and then format while enabled. Disabled formatting from ml. Might removing sd_uhs in the future. Not sure how useful it really is.
-
Hello, I would like to comment that the sd_uhs module works well in 160 mhz and only with 240 mhz it has problems of sound loss after 3 minutes with 20, with sandisk extreme pro 170 MB / s 128 GB card, formatting the sd card or deleting the files on the computer has no danger, and the increase in speed recording with both cards at the same time is appreciated when recording with looser parameters and much longer.
Thank you very much Danne and company for your meritorious work.

I mean last Danne`s 17Dec2020 build.I gave up on 240Mhz setting. I recommend any old builds with this patch still there not to use it. Too many issues.
What about 192mhz оn 5D3?
-
Gave up that one too. Never stable or not working at all.
-
160 MHz is the only one that's working nearly flawlessly on 5D3.
For last version: I tried a few presets and the feeling is good ! I'll try to save a bit of christmas on video. That's a first for me :-)
-
Using Dec 11 2020 mod. Cannot run Full-res LiveView mode. Card Spanning is on, preferred card is CF. Using best recommended cards. What am I to do?
Otherwise, great mode.
-
Card Spanning and preferred card to CF together is not possible.
But for solving your problem, you need to disable global draw (or kill global draw) and disable audio;)
-
Thank you so much, never knew of that.
UPD: the Full-res LiveView mode finally works. But the workflow on my 2008 Mac Pro is a piece of... something.
-
Have someone had some issues with 1920 60fps?
All other presets are working fine, but with this preset (+ NTSC / 720p / 60 Canon Menu), I can record, transcode the MLV to .dng and preview the .dng on my Mac (1920x804), but the files created are impossible to import in After Effects or Photoshop. They give me Photoshop (-30504) Error message.
And sometimes the recording is stopping due to datas errors, filling my 5DMKIII with numbers, but even if the record is good with any errors, I can't load the files then.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
S/.
-
This mode is very demanding to your CF card recording speed. If your card is good, try to disable all unnecessary modules and onscreen data (like zebra, RGB parade and others)
-
The problem is I get all the images and they are good in Preview mode from the Mac, but something is preventing themselves to be understood by CameraRAW after been transcoded.
The mlv file is opening fine in MLV App, but as soon as I transcode in .dng, the files become unreadable.
S/.
-
The mlv file is opening fine in MLV App, but as soon as I transcode in .dng, the files become unreadable.
I think it's better to upload small MLV file and ask in MLV App thread for a help with transcoding. You won't get any help without a corrupted file uploaded.
-
Hi All,
I apologize in advance for the beginner question but I want to confirm the process of upgrading to this build. Do I simply copy and replace the ML folder and autoexec.bin currently on my SD card with the ones provided in this build? Just want to make sure before I take the leap. Thanks in advance for your patience as I continue to learn and explore.
-
I recommend you uninstall any older builds to start clean. Then install next build fresh.
-

Yes.

-
I recommend you uninstall any older builds to start clean. Then install next build fresh.
Thanks @Danne for answering such a basic question. Does a complete reinstall mean formatting the SD card in camera and then moving the ML files for the new build onto the card? Does there need to be a copy of the firmware on the Sd card for ML to operate it or is this not necessary? Thanks again for helping us newbies.
-
After uninstall your card is just like any other card without magic lantern.
-
Hopefully someone has an answer for this : Is anyone of you using Danne's build here with an external monitor and is able to get the framing preview over hdmi on to the external monitor? If yes, which one?
Or is it maybe just not possible?
Thanks for A hint in the right direction.
-
I do, and I use a Freewell monitor, everything above 1080p will give you a real time cropped x5 preview, 5K will appear flattened.

Thanks for the super fast reply.
X5 crop rt preview is exactly what I also get for example in 3,5k mode. But to be honest it's giving me a hard time to guess how the frame looks then finally. So I usually stay with the cameras built in monitor...
I was still hoping that I am just missing a config that would give just a clone of what is shown on built in monitor.

Hi everyone,
I've been playing around with this build and I've run into a problem. I was recording using various settings and on a previous start-up, script came up on the screen that scrolled too fast for me to read but included the phrase "Fix me." Now, there is a red dot beside my Memory patches setting (EA39374) and speed tests show that my write speed has decreased to about 9 mb/s on my SD card. When I turn on SD overclock, all Memory patch dots go red. Is this normal/expected or has something gone wrong? Obviously, I don't understand the Memory patch setting. I've purchased a new SD card and tried a speed test on it and I get similar results. I've also done a full re-install and that doesn't seem to fix the situation. I backed up my files and can provide info if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As a followup, has anyone been using card spanning in combination with sd overclock? Are there any limitations in this setting?
Thanks
-
If sd patch is troubling please don't use it. It's rather unstable and should be used very carefully. The only card I possibly would trust is the sandisk extreme pro 170mb/s.
If you're card is slow please turn off sd uhs and restart camera to get it back to normal. If that isn't working you probably need to format and reinstall.
-
Hi Danne,
Thanks for the advice. With the SD patch off, should I be experiencing a red dot beside one of the memory patch settings (EA39374)?
-
No camera here. You need to post screenshots and share info on sd card brand and preset used and so on. Generally speaking. If you are able to record with your card with patch off it´s probably all good.

Hi everyone,
I have been filming with 5dmk3 / 1.1.3 / crop rec 4k build 2018-07-22 13:09 until today.
In response to a problem-question in the forum

- Bender@arsch kindly recommended me to try out Dannes builds.
Since my english is very poor (deepL) , I find it difficult to find out which last build runs well...
I would be very happy about any help!:)

Thanks Danne!
To understand the new menu structure, I suppose I'll read from the old post and as far as it's possible for my layman understanding;
- try it out myself.
At the moment I can't even manage a continious rec. with higher resolution... :)
I can't put 12 bit losless on, etc.
But I will try that now...
I want to switch quite simply from FF-HD-25p in best possible quality -
to a higher resolution (with the lowest possible crop factor (around 1.80 or lower) and continuous recording.
Until now:

With the problem in FF-HD:
In 12Bit losless it comes to "vagabond" pixel errors at edgy spots that look like digital fireflies:)
If I take 14 Bit or 14Bit Losless: ColorScience tilts from ISO 800 clearly into the reddish...
I'll stop right here in the forum with my inflationary lush text:)
I don't hope that someone will explain everything to me...:)
----The only question I have is whether I can find solutions to the problems I outlined above here in your build.
-
Instead of using bitdepth options in raw video menu keep that set to 14bit lossless. Then select Bitdepth from Movie tab menu instead. It´s a workaround. Image will appear greenish when in 10bit but recorded file will look right.

Hello everybody.
I just downloaded Danne's newest build (2020Dec11) and made some tests. My cards : Lexar Professional CF 64GB 1066x and SANDISK Extreme Pro 128GB 170/90.
With Card spanning on and SD Overclock mode i was able to record most of the modes continously. But that's not the case.
I started to make some speed tests with different modes and this is a conclusion:
In my opinion 3.5K x5 centered is the best mode for highest possible resolution with reasonable previev (Kill global draw - on).
3584x1500 (1.60x) in 10bit continous satisfies me the most, but... few days ago i was still using cropp_rec_4k.2018Jul22.5D3123.zip and noticed interesting thing. I always recorded 3,5k x5 centered with lower resolution because of lack of overclock option.
After update to your version i noticed that the image is not centered as it was before. It's because of increasing the maximum resolution in this mode? Now i can record more Mpix but its more misaligned than before. :(
I think this is still best mode to use when we consider speed/quality/ability to focus when recording. The recording speeds are also very promising. Maybe we should focus on that mode more than before?
Btw. awesome job Danne i'm grateful for your job. Thanks to your work guys i can enjoy my 5D much more. :):)
-
Thanks for feedback. I did some centering changes, that is correct. Let me know your exact resolution you are using and I will take a look later.
-
I tested the 3.5k and the way I use it it´s centered. That is I only use it with ratio options 2.39:1, 2.35:1 and 16:9 from ratio menu under Movie tab menu not changing resolution.
-
I,ve checked one more time to make sure. In previously used build (magiclantern-crop_rec_4k.2018Jul22.5D3123.zip) the picture is perfectly aligned to the center but resolution is limited to 3584x1320 (maybe that's the catch). I'm not able to achieve higher horizontal resolution than 1320.
In your build i'm using 3584x1500 (maximum possible) and image is definitely shifted down. Even when i choose one of the ratios (eg. 2,39:1) from Movie tab it still far from perfect. I've tried different ratios with same results.
I also tried to set the same resolution i used before - same result.
Is it possible to shift the "picture" slightly to the top? Tomorrow i'll try to add some overlayed frames from both of the builds to show you the difference.
3,5K centered x5 is the most misaligned mode by now. In previous build it was UHD. It was significantly shifted down but in your build its nearly perfect.
Thanks :)
-
Push the joystick button to centre rectangle. If you want to see rectangle Go to Display tab and turn off Kill Canon Gui.
Report back if this works for you.
-
I've tried it many times. I'm always trying to set the rectangle to the center. I also tried to move the rectangle to the top to move entire image and it triggers camera freeze and need to pull the battery out.
-
I think I need to see a screen recording from install and forward to see what´s going on. It works here and it´s centred so not sure what to do.
EDIT: Wait, Ill check once more, downloading the dec 11th build now.
Tested, works like intended. Please provide a screen movie recording to help further.
-
Uninstalled ML and performed clean install. I didn't change the resolution only set aspect ratio to off (with 2,39:1 in nothing changed at all - the same framing)
this is a comparison of different modes. Lens - Samyang 8mm
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2F3z1jqsM%2Fcomparison-00000.jpg&hash=7731cd9c5443201840d131798351e1d0) (https://ibb.co/zJsBY57)
As you can see 3,5K x5 centered is too much to the bottom of the frame. I also noticed some exposure change in 3.3K mode. You can see it on a short video i added.
-
In the preset sub menu try and alter CMOS[1] lo or CMOS[1] hi and see if you can fine tune vertical positioning. Share yor findngs here.
Horisontal offset should be "CMOS[2]".
Exposure change? Maybe only preview when 12bit kicks in? Shouldn´t affect recorded image. Try 14bit.
-
I think it did the job. I found that CMOS[1] lo - 9 and CMOS[1]hi - 12 works best for me.. but how can i save those?
-
Is that setting valid for 3584x1730 or is that for lowered resolution? What about the original cmos 1 when in 3584x1730?
You can change this in crop_rec.c:
/* raw buffer centered in zoom mode */
case CROP_PRESET_CENTER_Z:
cmos_new[1] = PACK12(11,61); /* vertical (first|last) */
cmos_new[2] = 0x09E; /* horizontal offset (mask 0xFF0) */
break;This:
cmos_new[1] = PACK12(11,61); /* vertical (first|last) */into:
cmos_new[1] = PACK12(9,12); /* vertical (first|last) */
Of course, if it´s valid for all ratios I will put it into my builds.
-
Is that setting valid for 3584x1730 or is that for lowered resolution? What about the original cmos 1 when in 3584x1730?
I tested it for 3584x1500 (2,39:1) and also for maximum 3584x1730. Works just fine for those two.
Am i need to recompile the code with special software? (sorry for questions but i'm not a programmer). I can try this with all three ratios under Movie tab if you need it.
Edit:
checked for all three ratios - no issues.
With the original CMOS1 (3584x1730) still to much to the bottom.
9 , 60 seem to work fine as well
-
I added the code in these builds. Could you test for your cam?

If working I replace older builds in first post.
For compiling I use this tool for mac:
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=21882.msg199370#msg199370
You seem to be able and get around code so I would recommend you set up a compiling environment for experimenting and developing in the future.
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16012.0
-
Everything works just fine with all three ratios. Also recorded some footage and postprocess it to make sure. I will test it further. Thanks for quick response. :)
-
Updated first post 8).
-
I will test the built has anything changed with the "anamorphic advanced" Presets?
So that 25p in 5.7 still works. Similar than second and first version of 5.7 k?
Does the One screen "display Menü" work with only clicking menu?
-
Only 3.5k preset cmos 1 changed. No need to download for what you are seeking.
-
Hello, I wanted to inform that with the version 01-30-21 for 5d3 in full anamorphic it generates a multitude of corrupt black squares.
Thank you.

Yes, you can keep them all for free.
-
Danne very funny ;) grey pictures also are for free:)
It is actually a stable version I think that somehow also with versions before I change sd160. When I start the camera new the whole magical Lantern reset it. That only happens with sd160 sometimes I write mlv files from CF to SD that works a little more stable without the sd160 if you know what I mean?
-
Yes. Sd_uhd itself can cause instabilities. It's questionable if it should be used or not but some cases showed to work. As long as you know this it can stay included in the build.
-
Thinking about how a public/ stable version might look like? I think the 5. 7 k is a cinematic difference. Since Zeek makes quiet an often seen impression of SD uhs 160 that would be also available?
-
Not sure if I follow you entirely here. Owning both an eos m and a 5DIII I don´t see much need of use of patching or even recording onto a sd card on the 5DIII. If you want more stable recording don´t enable sd uhs at all. On the eos m on the other hand, patching is needed imo.
-
Lately I've been shooting in the 3.5k 1:1 centered x5 mode at 3456x1728 10bit. It's continuous with card spanning and SD overclock, but only a few seconds without either. There are certainly plenty of good modes without spanning or overclock, but it does open more options.
-
Good to know. Thanks for feedback.
-
Hello, could you explain what the parameters are, for the x5 mode centered 1: 1 from 3.5k to 3456x1728 10bit, I can't use it. Thank you.
-
"Not sure if I follow you entirely here. Owning both an eos m and a 5DIII I don´t see much need of use..." (me also)
Of course it isn't necessary. Recording in 60p you still can push it more to the limits. I will do as you wrote. I didn't want to disturb.
-
I would like to add to this that sometimes there are mlv recorded in 3.5 with card spanning that end up without audio track. I don't know if it's related to card spanning or to sd_uhs with card spanning...
-
Could you upload one recording with missing audio? There are more than one way to develop footage that could solve this. Most likely audio is still there.
-

I'm using a slightly tweaked build of Danne's work with just a few extra Ratio presets in the Movie menu, but the settings below should get you there with his build.
Presets 3.5k 1:1 centered x5
RAW Video
Resolution 3456x1728
Aspect ratio 2:1

SD overclock 160mhz
and most importantly, you have to have the right SD card. After seeing success with other folks I got one of these and no problems. It's got to be the 170mb/s. I have one of the 95mb/s ones and no luck with it. Haven't seen the lost sound issue.

Any fast writing compact flash seems fine. I use a variety of Komputer Bay 1000x or better cards.

Not really. In my Files i have no audio in 0% up to 33% of shoot sessions. And this is not only in 3.5K, in UHD 1x1 and 3.3K (16:9) is the same problem, but not so often i think. I delet some older clips, so i can't see older tests with Anamorphic. But in all records i use cardspanning + sd overclocking.
I think i need some systematic tests (camera on, record and stop, changing bitdepth, record and stop, changing bitdepth, refresh liveview, record and stop, focusing, record and stop, 10x zoom, record and stop and so...)
-
Oki. From what you describe it seems related to card spanning. If possible do more tests without card spanning.
-
I would like to report a very strange behavior of the 5D3 with the latest Jan. 30-th 2021 build. When I turn all presets off to default to the normal 1920x1080/24 fps mode, when I change the bit depth from 14 (off) to 12, 10, 9 and 8, the preview looks perfectly equal at all bit depths but with every bit depth reduction by one step in the above sequence, the recorded footage gets overexposed by one stop compared to the previous one. I noticed that after filming at 12 bit and then decided to go down to 10 bit. The 10-bit footage was overexposed by one stop compared to the 12 bit one, with all other settings unchanged. This also happens with the anamorphic modes.
I have shot a bit depth sequence that illustrates this. Here are single MLV frames from each clip:
https://we.tl/t-MfE2qkSiAQ
Is this normal?
-
Use the bitdepth menu from raw video if you turn off crop rec. Set it to OFF in Movie tab.
Edit: You can also correct those files with white level slider in Mlv App.
-
Yes, correcting the white level of these strange (overexposed) looking files works quite well in MLVApp but this requires manual adjustment of every clip separately. Moreover, if you try to do that in Resolve with MLVFS, fixing white level is almost impossible. Why can't the correct white level at each bit depth be hard coded in the camera as this used to be in older builds?
-
What build exactly?
Learning compiling and essential code will answer most questions and help me and others from drowning in repeatable questions.
I have very little time to refine stuff. Help needed.
-
Sorry for asking. Thanks.
-
I will see if I can add some disabling of bitdepths when crop rec i set to off.
-
New builds in first post.
Movie tab bitdepth routines will be turned off when crop rec is turned to OFF. Use bitdepth routines from raw video menu instead if needed in this case.
-
Oki. From what you describe it seems related to card spanning. If possible do more tests without card spanning.
I tested some multiple recording delay tests with cardspanning and without (2sec. clips) and the result is: No failure in wihout cardspanning, but i found another interesting thing.
In the cardspanning tests: After a clip without audio, the next clip was only recordet on CF card and this clip is about 900mb bigger (~300mb vs 1250mb). But the clip before has the same filesize (~150mb)
here 3 files example:
1. with audio, 2. wihout audio 3. bigger size and with audio
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1pLemHSb2UynLEkaIJuNA7eIHmKYzDrDJ
I also tested without SD overclocking -> same result. There are also 3 times without audio behind each other -> all 3 clips after the first clip without audio are much bigger and the first 2 without audio, but this time there is a 1kb file on the SD Card (from the 2 bigger files without audio).
I hope this will help.
-------------------
Edit: files are bigger because more frames...
-
I had a look around yesterday in mlv_lite.c but it's not obvious what to look for when it comes to audio. There are some notes how audio starts. Since it seems related to card spanning I guess something will go wrong after a few takes sometimes so I would start by testing stuff in mlv_lite.c. Feel free todo so. Also ask Ilia3101 since he ported card spanning. He might have a clue.
-
Hi there,
(there's a slight chance that I am asking something that has been answered before, but sometimes I gets confusing when reading though years of conversation on the forum, and then to work out what has been updated and what hasn't. my apologies in advance)
Here's what I want to do:
1. shoot RAW video, with reliable and stable (enough) settings (therefore HD for me)
2. use LiveView for focusing (and check composition etc)
3. check the video after recording to see if the footage is useable
I am using ML version "crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2021Feb07.5D3123" - 5d mk iii (installed on CF card atm, since i thought i would use the SD card for recording mainly)
I have a highspeed SanDisk Extreme Pro 256gb 170mb/s, and a SanDisk Extreme 60Mb/s CF card (several sizes)
I use the SD overclocking module
To keep the video recording stable and reliable, I am sticking to HD (FF or 1:1). To check the video after shooting, I would like to use the proxy h.264 video, instead of the slow MLV player.
And here's where I am having problems:
- As soon as I add the proxy h.264 setting, the videos (both, the proxy and the MLV) are largely overexposed. (jumping to 12800 or 6400 ISO, for whatever reason)
Exposure is fine, as soon as I switch off the proxy again.
this happens in all modes other than manual mode (AV,TV), no matter whether sound on or off, or 14bit or 12bit uncompressed
Does Proxy only work reliably in Manual mode?
- As soon as i add the proxy h.264 option, the MLV file will be recorded onto the CF card, despite the SD card being my preferred card selection. is there any way I could do this the other way round? MLV to SD card, .mov file to CF card? (main reason for this is I have more space and the faster card in SD). However, I might be mistaken about the write speed of my CF cards. maybe 60mb/s is perfectly fine?
Also, my battery seems to be drained relatively fast (from 100% to 90% in around 5-10 minutes). Is that related to ML?
thanks, ;-)
-
Raw video is working in manual mode so I guess both mov and mlv will get affected as described if using auto modes. I didn't test this very much.
Recording hd on sd card maybe will work with sd overclock enabled but cf will probably be more reliable. Speed on sd will probably not be faster than around 55mb/s write speed. SD overclocking is highly experimental and not very reliable. i wouldn't build my card set up around sd cards if I wanted reliability.
Recording proxy on cf card is probably possible by rewriting code routines in mlv_lite.c so you can take a look in there if important.
-
Perfect, thanks for the clarification.
Using manual mode should be perfectly fine.
Good to know about the SD card, I will switch back to CF for main recording. (So far, in my little amount of testing, I have had very stable results with SD overclock, but after hours of filming it might be a different story ;-) )
Oh, there's one other thing that sometimes gets mentioned on the forum, but doesn't have very up-to-date information:
the use of an external camera monitor with ML.
I will buy myself external monitor (HDMI), but I have no knowledge about where the feed for the monitor comes from.
Will it cause additional 'workload' on the camera and have a negative impact on the raw recording? (Once I have the monitor, I will share my experiences, obviously)
[edit: I used a monitor and it works fine. no crazy latency nor unstable video recording]
-
Hi!
I'm very new to this forum. I tried searching around but I didn't understand all of it.
I want to record 1080p 25fps without using also the sd card. What's the best stable preset to do it? Is it with Dual ISO?
Thanks a lot for the work Danne
-
Hi guys, just been reading through this topic for the first time after a long time on the stable branch. Just a quick sanity-check for me I wanted to throw in re. monitoring (pprompted by @AlanSmithee's comment above).
In anamorphic mode, my HMDI out (on 1.2.3) is giving the unsqueezed live feed. So this means with an external monitor with anamorphic desqueeze we can film RAW *and* monitor with a fully functional preview (i.e. not the black and white one shown on liveview)?
-
yeah but the hdmi is heavily cropped in 5k mod so you’re end up with a very narrow and horizontal field of view.
-
Agh, yup, was too easy to be true... thanks. Just thinking out loud: it's kind of useful as a 'magic focus'... almost... as it's not centered. I'm not there yet with how the code works: is this the nature of the stream or could I tweak something to center it?
-
My experience with SD overclocking below. I am using a Sandisk Extreme 128gb Micro SD (XC I, V30, U3, A2) in an SD adapter sleeve and measured using the benchmark module in 1gb mode.
Original write speed: 21mbps
Original read speed: 21mbps
Overlocked write speed: 66mbps
Overclocked read speed: 72mbps
So the speed increase is very significant.
Unfortunately, it's not stable enough. When taking raw photos, I get an error beep maybe 1 out of 20 shots and have to toggle the power switch. That photo comes out corrupted, usually with half the image missing.
I notice that 160mhz is the only overlock option. Any possibility of lower options or is that a hardware impossibility?
-
There are preferred cards proven more stable than others.
-
not the best. better to stick to cf or a good sd, but not a micro sd in a sd adaptator
-
Hello!
Thank you Danne and all team who are still work with this build! Its something amazing!
My camera Canon 5d mark 3 and Canon 24-70 2.8 II, firmware 1.2.3, crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2021Feb07.5D3123
I watch this topic a lot of time, can tell something and want to ask few questions
first, ability to connect with gimbals:
Ronin S
- Works well, start/stop rec gimbal button, focus and etc. in anamorphic 14bit lossless continuous
connection with gimbal MCC-microUSB(+adapter microUSB(female)-MiniUSB(male))
Way to connect:
1. Turn off camera
2. Connect camera and gimbal
3. Switch Camera to Photo Mode (the most important thing)
4. Turn on Gimbal
5. Turn on camera
6. Wait for SD patching (if you use this patch)
7. Switch to video
8. Continuous recording
Ronin SC2 or RSC2 or RSC 2
Connection is different and works not so good, connection with gimbal usbC-miniUSB
in anamorphic 14bit lossless, focus work, camera won't recording video, and go in error, needs restart (log on a screen)
in anamorphic 10bit uncompressed camera start/stop rec with gimbal button, focus work well, record 15-30 second and stop (this is the one way i found it work for the short takes)
Settings
- Preset anamorphic - 2.35:1 - 1808x2300px
- Movie tab bitdepth - OFF
- Raw video - Data Format - 10-bit
- Raw video - Kill grobal Draw - ON
- Raw video - Card Spinning - ON
It is doesn't matter how to turn on or turn off camera and in which mode(photo/video)
Maybe someone know how to start recording with RS2 or RSC2 continuous?
in 14bit lossless and connected to gimbal it has error using on camera rec button or gimbal rec
And one more question to Danne, Is it technically possible to simulate frame in LiveView not stretched? i try different settings it ML menu Display tab - Anamorphic, but it is not so good and not usable
Anyway thank you for the best life for this camera!
-
On Sunday I'm filming a music video. I hope I'm hitting the topic correct. Does anybody advice SD card spanning. I've got the best CF cards SanDisk Pro but sadly only 64GB so maybe I thought I would save changing the CF card All the time?
-
If not using sd uhs patching even very slow cards will do.
Card spanning not working with higher frame rate presets.
-
I prepared with turning off magic lantern overlays. I basically press the info button once and record in 5.7 k 24fps so you would see anamorphic distortion therefore if somebody else has the camera. Because I've got two 5d3s. So they can approximately see what is Sharp (with slightly sharper). I have got a good CF card and the SD ScanDisk extreme pro 95mbs and 170mb s. Would that work with card spanning wouldn't even use faster U HS. Just that I don't have to change the CF card the whole time?
I don't get paid for this but the last video was seen by over 30000 people. I tried to upload exactly the biggest file to YouTube but in with 5.7 k I only got 2k on YouTube. Then I tried with full resolution in 16 by 9 worked 4k. Would it be possible somehow upscaling it to 8k on YouTube? I remember when I had my first DV camcorder it made a difference if I uploaded in 720p there was a difference to 480p even though it was the same camera. Thx
-
Better if you test thoroughly on your own if you are testing bleeding edge features such as sd uhs, card spanning. If going for safety exclude card spanning or at least the sd uhs patch.
-
I tested 5.7k with card spanning. Global draw off. 14bit lossless.
That worked.
Just the view with any magic lantern (global draw) doesn't work. After 2 minutes stopped. Without it worked until 64gb full.
My only question is does it work more stable without card spanning? I thought there is only a difference with sd uhs 160 modul on. It worked otherwise flawlessly. What about the 8k on YouTube? For the fast editing I use Sony Vegas 17 and that has no rendering option in 8k. My colour correction with Adobe After Effects and exported in *. mov 422 in exactly the same resolution as I recorded it with magic lantern (5.7k). :) looks expensive/sharp.
Am I am doing anything stupidly wrong?
-
A lot of set ups lacks data. Different presets might work better than others. If you do a 5.7k film shoot with card spanning enabled and it's stable it's good info to have.
-
Sry, Danne I also lack sometimes on my concentration ;) the imagine in 5.7k is incredible full of detail. You must know how the sensor renders a frame. Even if you then on YouTube watch it in full HD. A complete new impression of the picture. But I guess teenagers want to film also in slow motion. So I will have to choose the 60 FPS. I hope nobody will notice?
Maybe the most people have no 5K Monitor.
I also tested 38 FPS with Sharpness 1. 60fps sharpness 0. Surprisingly with other magic lantern builds. I had to put the sharpness completely down and it looked much more unsharp. Anamorphic 2:39:1 FPS 60 looks quite similar to a normal sharpness without aliasing and miore. I think no magic lantern build works better. You should get something that :) thx 1000x
-
What about the 8k on YouTube?
Why you want upscale this? In my tests I upload a 5.7K video and I can set to 5K in the web browser and if I click right click on statistics, you can read this is 5.7K ;)
In my opinion there is no reason for upscale a 5.7K Anamorphic image.
The only reason is with footage less than 4K, but not for quality of the footage, just only for Youtube - > YouTube HD quality is really bad.
-
The only reason is with footage less than 4K, but not for quality of the footage, just only for Youtube - > YouTube HD quality is really bad.
Agreed !
-
What about you watch videos on YouTube in 4K would you see the difference with magic lantern 5.7 k and 60 FPS 1080? I'm sure you wouldn't be able to see miore or aliasing.
I filmed this with the 5D 2 and 30 FPS used twixtor. I just wonder filming in 5.7k would it be worth the less FPS? The only deficit with the 5D III is no slow emotion. I bought a DOF adaptor for the Samsung Galaxy S10 that even records with 240fps. Mathieu Stern said, it wouldn't be good result for vintage lenses. What would be the cheapest slow emotion ?
-
Hey guys,
Just installed this build to my Canon 5D Mk 3 and it's working pretty well. I'm using the dual shooting mode with my SD and CF card and can do continuous 3.3K RAW in 10 bit, which is awesome.
HOWEVER.
In every single one of my clips, there is this weird pink aliasing (for want of a better word) on the highlights. Literally every single clip I record that is the slightest overexposed, the pink lines appears.
Even on text on a screen, it appears.
I've trolled through the forums and looked at countless posts, but to no avail. I'm using the latest 2021 Feb build, so I'm not out of date. I've got Global Draw turned off as well.
I haven't enabled any dual iso stuff, or anything to do with any custom overlays.
Help me Obi-Wan MagicLanternForums-obi, you're my only hope!
EDIT:
I've been using the EV function and have been exposing by about +1 EV to get proper exposure in the RAW files. Pink areas everywhere.

Hi,caylemweeks
MLVApp-profiles-cyan highlight fix
Try this option.
-
@caylemweeks: sounds like you clipped the green channels. Try highlight reconstruction in parallel to RAW white level adjustments in MLVApp. In Resolve there is also a highlight reconstruction feature.
And for the future: use zebras and ETTR in camera and try to not overexpose!

Hello all. I just made the large jump from a ML build from 2016 to the most recent one crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2021Feb28.5D3123
Looks like things have changed quite a bit.
On the 2016 build, I would use Dual ISO in addition to crop mode for a resolution of 2560 x 1090
I had card spanning and was able to shoot continuously.
Monitoring was a challenge since Live View was gray, low quality, and not real time
Will the latest build help me solve some of these challenges?
Can I shoot Dual ISO, 4k continuous? Is card spanning deprecated and no longer available now? How do I get continuous shooting? (overclock module hasn't seemed to help. Maybe I'm doing something wrong)
Can I get a good monitoring situation? Live view and perfect framing of scene being shot?
How high up can I go in resolution these days and still use Dual ISO, without any bottlenecking of the camera or cards?
Thanks much all
-
First of all this magic lantern build has no crop anymore. With anamorphic on you do still get the view in black and white and no real time. But if you would change to the normal Canon view. You get a view croped and squeeze. There for it is in real time and sharp. With 14 bit lossless you don't have to use card spanning anymore. It works stable will my camera setup. Although I don't use duel iso since I noticed that it is a little less sharp.
-
Thanks. Attached are screenshots of my settings. Any recommendations?

Also, looks like the liveview is 5x and doesnt let me frame correctly however. Anyway to get a more accurate live view?
Thanks again
-
Nothing changed with preview capabilities. If not real time uncropped use framing for correct preview.
A few refined presets added like the anamorphic modes(Also called 1x3 binning).
Card spanning works. Sd uhs patching not very reliable. If using that see to it to test out a valid, good working card. Info on this can be found in varous posts and threads.
Other than that, a lot of tweaks and a few bug fixes.
I recommend you go through this thread as it progressively shows what´s been added into this build. Most questions have been answered if not all.
-
Thanks Danne. I think I have things working well now. I'm actually able to keep Global Draw On for all modes in addition to Zebras, Focus Peak, Cropmarks, Histogram, and Waveform.
Preset is 3.3k 1:1 x5
12 bit
2.39:1
SD not overclocked
No card spanning
14-bit lossless
Preview - Framing
Crop Rec Preview auto mode (what does this do? lol)
I'm pretty happy with how things are working now and have done 30 second tests without any issues. Any recommended optimizations to make things even better? I like this!
Any tips for shooting slow motion? I've never accomplished that w ML before. What are some best practices?
Thanks much all!
-
Find your own ways. Seems you're perfectly capable of doing that and if you find something extraordinary post your findings.
What's not working with higher fps? You share no info of what you are trying to achieve.
Best practices. Turn off all extras. Add them back one by one until it breaks recordings.
Apply bitdpeth reduction to 10bit. Increase if possible.
If 10bit not enough. Record 2.39:1 or reduce ratio even further.
-
Appreciate it. I'll keep experimenting.
Slow motion is achieved by using FPS override correct? Will I need to choose a proper resolution for 60fps instead of sticking with 3.3k?
Thanks again
-
I never use fps override. I only work with presets from crop rec if not using regular hd 1080p, then I turn crop rec to off.
What you ask for is easy to test. My suggestion would be that you take a week and try and learn each and every preset, their quirks and possibilities. Pay attention to help texts. Some modes require cam to be set to 50 or 60fps in canon menu. A few presets needs to stay in x1 and a few needs to be started in x5 crop.

Hey guys. Do you think it's a good idea to start a topic comparing ALL the ML video recording options (RAW, MP4, HDMI capture, USB, ...) with most notable advantages/limitations of each option and keep it up to date with the most recent developments and statuses for each option? I mean, not for any particular camera but the overall state of video recording feature set of ML, so to speak. I've been out of the loop for several years and some recent developments just blow my mind away. I've bought and sold several cameras during this period of time. If I were aware of those features I would've made different choices. I just feel like it would be useful to many to have such a high level overview of what is possible. Then one could dive deeper into specific camera's possibilities and options.

About to edit a wiki about streaming/recording abilities with Canon EOS cameras covering HDMI, USB via EOS Utility/EOS Webcam Utility.
Collecting USB related stuff should be easy. Most are just doing 576p. Exception (so far): EOS M will not work at all. Need input about "sheep in wolf clothes" EOS M3, M5, M6, M10, M100 running PowerShot codebase.
Tricky part is HDMI. There is no easy way to tell actual HDMI resolutions in all modes without proper hardware. Cheap Full-HD USB converters (those in the 20 and lower buck/euro range) will not reveal anything about input resolution. Some TVs/Monitors will link to any input source and tell you it's 1080p.
Tried https://webcamtests.com/ but no avail. (Found the site via this link (https://phototacopodcast.com/can-canon-eos-webcam-utility-beta-do-1080p) ).
Further findings: The only cam in ML project scope able to do DCI 4k (4096 pixel horizontal) is EOS R5. All other labeled as 4k-HDMI are doing UHD (3840 horizontal aka 2160p).
I just started with an uncomplete table https://wiki.magiclantern.fm/streaming:hdmi_rfc
And covering all raw recording modes ... good luck! I think it can be done if supported by devs making those custom builds.
-
I was thinking about something like this:
(https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/proxy.php?request=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4BJXwg2.png&hash=3628f99b6277e01b9b59ab90da0ce5ac)
-
Quick sidenotes: Cropped raw/MP4/HDMI is not free of aliasing and moire. Amount should be the lowest, of course. And high bandwidth applies to RAW, too.
You should also mention anamorphic mode.
-
That was just to illustrate my point. I'm nowhere near enough informed to do this on my own. I think this deserves a separate sticky thread that would be updated by people who are in the loop and would structure and update the info to reflect the current state of things. I don't want to continue off-topic here but I'm not sure about where is the right place for such a thread.
-
On the long run sticky threads with content to maintain are prone to become unmaintained, outdated and adding to user confusion.. "Staff" discussed this some time ago and opted for wiki instead. Wiki doesn't guarantee to go smoothly and had to be maintained, too. But looking backwards on some history we are better with wiki than without.
Lookup Camera Help (http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/camera_help). Initiator put in some serious work and dropped out without being heard from him since and way before completion.
-
Makes sense. OK, I'll try it.

With February builds, shutter speed doesn't affect exposure when in video mode 3.5k or 3.3k. The numbers do change but there is no effect on the image or histogram. All other modes work as they should. When i switch to photo the exposure is correct. I tried changing shutter range, shutter lock(changing shutter from ml only), ettr, expo override but none seems to be able to change the actual shutter speed. The number changes, the exposure doesn't. I am on 5D 1.2.3
Is that a bug or is there any other option i am missing?
-
Don´t have my camera atm but I can take a look this week.
Meanwhile. Could another user verify this behaviour?
-
Reset ML settings.
I recall once having a similar issue with “vanilla” 3.5k crop. Don’t know what it was, but resetting to ML default fixed it
Also check your Dial, is it by chance on (A+) or any of the others?
-
I tried resetting both canon and ml settings. Formatted both cf and sd and installed vanilla 28feb build but still the same issue. It's on M mode. It's not readjusting iso or aperture. Shutter number changes as it should. There is no difference though. Happened both on manual and electronic lenses. Other than that i cannot think of anything else to try.
Tried to change shutter in shutter priority mode. As shutter speed decreased 1/4000, iso maxed and the image got brighter.
Last think left to check is 1.1.3 version, although i prefer 1.2.3 for hdmi monitoring.
-
I can verify that shutter is not changeable in 3.3k preset. Tried to see what´s going on but couldn´t find the issue yet. When I build the preset I tried following the CROP_PRESET_CENTER_Z routine and probably some safe guard stopping shutter from being modified. I sees if I can find time and fix it.
-
I think the shutter issue with 3.3k preset is fixed:
https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/magic-lantern_dannephoto_git/downloads/
Some issue with cmos 2. Thanks for reporting.
-
Thanks for the really quick fix!
Happy to help with the bug hunt. Least i can do for now.
I tried working with 3.5k x5 centered but it's not as robust as 3.3k. I always get compression error around 1 minute mark no matter what resolution i use. Console comes up and i have a few logs. The cam keeps recording but i think a few frames are gone. Is this a known issue, performance related? I can look into in a bit more if you want(upload logs, clip)
I guess one more frame per second is really heavy on card speed compared to 3.3K.
-
You can see if compression issues disappears by reducing height. In the Presets sub menu(push Q button) and reduce reg_6804_height by let´s say -10. Now also reduce reg_713c with the same number -10.
Overhead errors can also be caused if you have too much going on like histogram, magic zoom and such. What ratio are you using by the way? Only use the ratios provided in Movie tab menu (Ratio). Are you using 25 fps? Bitdepth? You leave out a lot of information. Exterrnal monitors will probably affect most of all so if using that expect issues.
Lastly. Downgrading to 1.1.3 will probably help here too.
Please report back if you are getting better results.
-
I use 2 display presets. I keep one clean and the second one is where i have histogram, waveform and level indicator. When i record i use the empty one. I use digic peaking, should i turn it off?
I was under the impression that 3.5K is 25fps and 3.3K is 24fps. So i use 25fps in the 3.5k preset. I shoot at 12bit and 16:9 ratio set in the movie tab menu.
My cards are 32gb lexar x1000 and sandisk extreme pro 64gb. No external monitor atm. To achieve continuous recording i lower resolution in the raw recording menu to 2880.
Changing the registers by -10 seems to fix the problem(recording at 2880X1620). Need to test more to be certain.
I even shot a dual iso clip at 1620, no issues.
Can the change in the register be saved in the manual config? eg. CM3 set to 3.5k with register's change?
Another issue that sometimes happen is that the screen gets stuck in real-time focus mode(in 3.5K mode). I cannot change back to framing from ml menu or by going to canon menu and back again. Need to either restart or switch to review and back. I haven't found the steps to reproduce being stuck in real-time yet. Will look more into it.
-
24 fps probably works without reducing height.
Easiest test is to just enable the 3.5k preset after a vanilla installation. Don't enable any other settings. If this works you can test enabling other settings until it breaks.
-
New builds uploaded thanks to @Panz test reports. Reduced 3.5k preset height by -10 to reduce corrupted frames when recording in 25fps.
-
Hello Danne, totally fool question here:
Would it be possible to have a plain, all sensor, preview when idle and when recording despite the chosen crop mode?
And to prepare and use crop mark images to get the correct framing?
Thanks,
S/.
-
Grab the code and start experimenting. I have no idea what you are talking about.
-
Yes I know. To explain the question:
When the camera is framing but not recording, the framing preview is always good even if not realtime and is the same as the image recorded.
But when the camera is recording the preview, when working, doesn't help to frame anything because the back image on the camera doesn't correspond to the image recorded at all.
My question was: would it be possible to put on the camera screen a realtime preview or readout of all the sensor when waiting or when recording even if we have chosen a particular crop mode?
Don't know if I am clearer.
-
I don't get what you are after but maybe someone else understand.
-
@motionSOUL
Currently there is no real-time with correct-framing preview when using "Crop mode" on 5D3, you are referring to "Framing" preview which is choppy but has correct framing, if you want to use it all time (in Both Idle and when recording) do the followings:
Highlight "RAW video" (make sure mlv_lite is enabled) --> Press Q button --> Preview --> Change it to "Framing"
You also press Half-Shutter when recording to toggle between "Framing" and "real-time" preview.
-
Thanks for the info, but what I really would like to know is: Would it be possible technically to implement an option to get a full live view full sensor realtime preview while recording a crop mode?
-
That is not known with certainty, and I feel the answer of "maybe" is unsatisfying. But that is the answer.

I can't download Danne's crop_rec_4k & ISO experiments for Canon 5d markIII

I may be missing something in settings and just trying to figure what I could change:
In 1080P I get a wider FOV than I do when I am using a preset like UHD or 3.5K. What can I do to correct this?
