Very nice, what did you use to pan the camera?

This one works for me:

Thanks, that one seems to work for me!

I made FPS override stop before H264 stops so as long as you don't get a card full, 4gb or buffer stop it won't freeze. This is all that can be done for now.

In which version did you fix this? I guess it's not in the 29-9 version yet?

Is it possible to make a version in which H264 also works? I tried the 29-9 build, but it freezes at the end. It would be great since we would be able to use both H264 and RAW.

I also tried to use the old alpha2 version to use H264, but that version does not remember the settings, so that is quite annoying since the default settings do not work for my card.

if that would be the generic 7D user opinion ...

I am quite sure this is not the case. Most people are just waiting without saying too much, a few people run out of patience and send mails like this. I for example am enjoying the first alpha still very much since it gives me the posibilty to record movies with my 7D. Without the zoom screen I would not be able to record a movie since I would not be able to focus correctly. Thanks for now for all and looking forward to newer developments any time in the future.

I tried reproducing the focusing problem once, but I could not reproduce it. I will try it some more when I have time.

Normally, ML should not alter AF functionality at all.

Please try to reproduce.

Ok, I will try to reproduce using the same conditions.

Magic Zoom usually flickers in high-FPS modes. Try changing the size or the position, it sometimes helps.

There is a way to implement it flicker-free, but at the risk of altering frame rate and introducing jitter.

Is it also a known issue that it flickers on 1080p 25fps? I'll try changing the size to see if that helps.

I noticed a problem when using ML: when I tried to focus normally (not using LiveView) using a focus point other than the middle focus point, the camera could not lock the focus. When I turned off the camera (so ML was deactivated) and tried again, focus was working fine.

I have not tried this again, so it could be a one-time problem, but maybe someone else can try to reproduce?

Anyway for the rest ML was working fine, the magic zoom is great (although it flickers quite a lot).
