According to Gordon Laing there are actual some enhancements.
And HDMI streaming/recording without thermal management is gone for good. Declared to be a bug and fixed.

I can´t confirm this, I could record external in 4K HQ up to 3 1/2h untill the SSD was full, with cards in. 
So all external recording modes are absolutely usable.

The CFexpress card seems to produce most of the heat, when recording to SD card I got longer 8K IPB and 4K HQ times.
Looking at some exif data, the camera shuts down consistently at 60°C +/- 1

External cooling improves the recording significantly!

All Underwater scenes were shot on the 5D, the rest was shot on a GH3 and some 5D movs.

Equipment:
- Nauticam 5DM3 Housing
- 17-40mm L 4
- 100mm 2.8 IS
- 3x ComputerBay 64GB x1000
- 2x2KW Arri Daylights

Get more 64gb cards, the 128g 1050 isn't all its cracked up to be. Its slower. And a benchmark in playback is useless. So those numbers of 110-115 will not happen when you are actually recording.  I went from the 128 card to the 64gb and all the performance unreliablilities went away.

When you look at the card tests for different buffers on these tests.

64Gb - Out of the top 8 buffer sizes, 7 could do continuous recording.


128gb - Out of top 8 buffer sizes, 5 will do continuous OK.... probably, 2 of them are on the edge... so probably more like 3 out of 8.


The 64gb card is just way more consistent across the different buffer sizes.  I was convinced to get the 128gb 1050 card.. and i wish i just got the 64gb from the start. Don't get me wrong, the 128gb card is great.. inexpensive.. and fast... but not quite fast enough to be used in RAW with consistent performance.

And remember, if you are recording at High FPS those modes transfer even slower than in 1080p mode(at least i cant find a way for it to do it at the same speed) Regardless of card recording at high FPS seems to stay below 80mb/sec even though in 24p 1080p mode it tapes 110mb/sec on the 64gb card.

Thanks for the fast reply, i guess i will get some more 64s than. I had a similar issue, recording normal 1080p @ 25fps i got a little over 100mb, recording higher fps i only reach around 80mb

Thanks anyway, cant wait to shoot and see the results

I have a upcoming shoot in less than 2Weeks, we want to shoot @ 50fps. So far I am using my KB 64GB 1000x which works fine @50fps upscaling to 1920*818.

I am not sure if I should get the same card again or maybe use the 128GB 1050x? Anyone tried 50fps or compared the 2 cards?

Just tryed out the RAW function, (5D3 with a SanDisk 16GB 60MB/s) ML v.2.3.NEXT.2013May17.5D3113

It all seemed pretty good, I was trying out a few different resolutions not higher than 1280*720 when an err came up.

Now the Card doesnt show up on the Computer, or works in the Camera. Formating in the Kamera wont work, it freezes.

A dialog came up saying, writting bug report. But where can I find it so you Guys know what happened?

I took another CF Card (same modell) and recorded again, worked all fine. Also the footage is great.

Great Work love it

Hey Alex,

thank you so much for your great work.

I was lookig for another post of the Issue that ML is gone after turning the Carmera off oder taking the CF Card out.

I put the Alpha 2 on the SD Card. If I reinstall ML the Settings of ML are still Saved.

Thanks
