I was editing some holiday footage and this was too cute not to share. An Indian elephant covered in red dirt.

I recently visited Littlehampton and I videoed some lads showing off their RC cars so I made a short video from the footage, shot on 70D  😁

Is that unusual?  I merged one of the crop_rec branches in, so perhaps it's that.

I am in all the channels and don't have any muted, just say hi.  questions-and-chat is the best place to start.

Well in the community it is believed that the canon 70d is terrible for raw video and overheats easily. I did not have a clue that it is so capable and able to shot 3k.

I do have a question about the 70d and aspects ratios would you be the right person to talk to?

I was playing around with the 70D and I got it to record incredibly sharp footage at 2.5k

Here is the footage, it has been slowed down a bit.

Cool - the repo is here: https://github.com/reticulatedpines/magiclantern_simplified/

Should build easily on modern linux.  Debian is preferred over Ubuntu (they have a bug around Qemu).  Is known to build on WSL or Mac.

I strongly recommend joining Discord for asking dev questions - you'll get answers a lot faster, and in more detail.

I certainly have questions as I managed to record 2.5k and 2.8k on my Canon 70D.... Which channel on discord are the developers hiding in.

Making slowmo footage from standard 25 in crop mode frames on canon 70D.

Heder made useful progress last year but didn't come back to finish it off: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13746.625

I've re-implemented everything to a similar level as in that post but with cleaned up code.  Not yet pushed to my repo since it's unstable and missing some pieces.  Happy to share if you want to work on that cam.

A 7d2 is on order will have it in a few days, please send me a link to the build and lets get things started.

At least strong indication. 5D4 and R may use the same sensor type. At least 1080p30 mode seems not to use line skipping (not sure I tested 60 fps).

BTW: 7D2 doesn't use line skipping either. The only Canon APS-C DSLR AFAIK.
BTW2: I kicked pre-ML from my R. Just beyond useless.

Canon 7D2 sounds fascinating, what's the status on that can it record raw yet?

I want not even aware it existed. 😁

I looked more into the R and I think I will get a 6dmkii to help out the R stuff is beyond me a bit I need more experiences with hacking the system.

Yup, discord is the best place for quick discussion.

6D2 is in the reliable early port stage.  This would let you have fair confidence that what's there (not much), works.  R is Digic 8.  None of these cams are reliable yet.  If you enjoy debugging, we'd welcome the help on Digic 8 (maybe I won't have to do it!).  If you prefer reverse engineering and normal dev work, 6D2 is a more obvious choice.

If you'd prefer to avoid reverse engineering, and stick to normal dev work - there's still lots to do on well supported cams.  The good parts of various forks want merging into official repo, known bugs want fixing, menus could do with a re-org and cleanup.  Etc!

I think the Canon R is a logical choice for me  as I like to shoot with vintage lenses and I have a lot of TV lenses which can be adapted to it.

Dose the canon R have at least hd raw recording at the moment?

What do you mean by testing?  If you mean doing dev work and testing that, then yes, it would help.  Purely running tests can be useful, but we're not limited by test effort, so it doesn't speed things up.

I own a 6D2 (and wrote the port), it doesn't have many features yet so it's quick to test

It's a great cam though, size of a 70D with build quality of 5D, you won't be sad if you get one.

I am also a programmer trained in c++ and assemble (that was a long time ago). So I guess I can do both dev work and testing I just need a bit of direction from you guys.

If you wish I can get another camera instead of the 6dii like an r. I trade cameras so have access to any I want. Just let me know how I can help.

Hi, I am contemplating buying a canon 6dmkii to help with testing. Is this some thing that would help speed things up?

I already have an eosm 5dmkiii a 70d(great AF for video).

I was testing the crop mode of the 70D with a 18 - 135mm stm lens and a pze1 adapter. Results were good, I need to rerun this experiment with a Tamron 18 400mm for fun.
