Hold the trash can button

I hope I get a pass if these has been asked before because I did search for "EOSM Continuous" and did not get my answer:

The chart says raw can only be shot while recording h264 simultaneously, is this still true?

I don't think so, I don't know that has ever been possible.

What is the max resolution that you can shoot RAW continuously on EOSM?

  next question

I am shooting most raw projects at 2.35:1 aspect ratio, what is the max resolution at this aspect?

   1504x456 is what I can get at that aspect ration on a Sandisk Extreme 45MB/sec SD card

What is the workflow like for shooting raw with sound? Do you just use the audio from the h264 file?

  Use mlv raw format with sound

Thanks for answering these questions, I am considering picking up an EOSM for helicopter shots, and if I do. I will be glad to contribute what I can in helping with development for this body as well.

  Cool. IMO the M sucks for Raw. Aside from the card speed limitations there are post production considerations such as pink dots that need removed and the image needs stretched. Magic Lantern on the EOS M really helps the camera from a usability standpoint though 

Nice music video afroxfilm! i am sitting there watching it thinking to myself "this video would be so much better with an audience in it" right then I see the door and then the audience comes rushing in...Sweet!

Shot in RAW with Magic Lantern on a Canon 5d MKII
Converted to DNG's with RawMagic
Created Proxies with Davinci Resolve
Edited in FCPX
Imported XML to Davinci Resolve and reconnected clips with original footage
Colourcorrection and Grading in Davinci
Export to ProRes 4444
Reimported to FCPX
Added Grain and did last few tweaks with exposure settings in FCPX.
Exported final clip to ProRes 422(HQ).

Any chance of bringing GOP back to h.264?

Yeah skip the after effects part

Run boot off fir if you want no boot flag. You don't *have* to autoboot if you're a glutton for button pressing.

10x yuv is broken. You have to press play to go back to 1x. You can record in the frozen zoom too without issue (except no preview).

Thanks, I guess what I meant was boot flag cannot be disabled in camera via firmware update, it just goes to sensor cleaning screen and everything is still there. No biggie.

with the [7d]PopStop version I cannot remove ML from the camera, any ideas?

So with your camera off you powered it up, then connected the lens and then you could shoot. What happens when you power off then back on again? Does the shutter activate still or do you have take the lens off and put it back on to get it to work? If so then id rather just power off and back on within a second to be able to use this lens for now until a fix is found.

No. with the camera on I released the lens and turned to disconnect the terminals and then turned it back to remount it. I never turned it off

I had it again. After i shot some RAW video in crop mode the shutter on the 18-55 ef-m would not fire again. With the camera on I removed the lens not even all the way and put it back on and it fires again.

I too had the no shutter issue with the 18-55, but may have a fix. I uninstalled ML with the lens on and fired the shutter with no ML installed but still on the card. Then installed ML with that lens on the camera. The shutter worked. I switched lenses, shutter worked. Put the 18-55 M back on, still worked.

Try that and see if it helps.

Edge artifacts aside, there is a shocking amount of dynamic range

have you tried eyeframeconverter or batchelor ?

I'm on MAC

I'm still using FixUnhack. The max at 23.976fps I can get is 2.35:1 1728x448 continuous. 1728x512 2:1 said it would work and worked for awhile but eventually stopped itself after maybe 2 minutes. This is on a Sandisk 45 MB/sec card.

A problem I am having now though is the files I got are 4.29 GB and raw2dng says they aren't valid. RAWMagic doesn't like them either. They add .R00 files when they go over 4GB. Am I missing something here

Make sure the MAGIC.FIR is at the Root directory, your CF card should look like this...
DCIM
MAGIC.FIR
MISC
ML

Where DCIM, MISC, and ML are folders

Go into the Canon menu and enable sound

2 finger tap the lcd screen to bring up ML menu on EOS M

Hello great people,

Even with the help of nanomad (thx btw), I wasn't able to get 'make zip' to go through on the nightly repo. The makefile simply doesn't have an "x:" instruction. I want to try this stuff out on my new EOS M but the Alpha posted in the original post doesn't bring up a menu. From what I understand, the trash button should bring up the ML menu, right? Anyway, could someone comment on how newbies such as myself could follow along, and report bugs, with the latest and greatest from ML?

Ciao!

As far as I can tell it's the only way to get the largest buffer possible. Maybe I'm wrong

Looks like the EOS-M has a dedicated movie mode: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canon-eos-m/images/top.jpg

What's wrong with it? why do you have to record in photo mode?

I want to get rid of this hack, because it's giving me lots of trouble on the other cameras.

I hear ya, the raw files do bring a shocking amount of detail though.

I'm pretty happy shooting Cinestyle and using Technicolor Cinestyle Color Assist for correction.

As far as the Red goes, have you ever used one? Talk about workflow! File sizes!!! While you're renting the Red (and all of its support gear) you might want to rent a crew too.

Personally I don't really care much for RAW. Sure it's great but it adds so much more work, processing power and filesizes. I'm pretty happy just shooting with Flaat on all-I, and would probably only use RAW for some testing fun. If I ever get to do big projects (that would need cinema quality), I'll probably rent a RED anyway. (even when they used 7Ds and 5Ds while shooting Avengers, so it'll be fine xD ).

Dots on this one are back

Yea, I set it to 5:3 and tried 5d3 rawtype.. hopefully it worked, if not we'll look for another ratio/rawtype.

Wow I feel stupid, I had the wrong noise reduction set. Now I am getting 1408x608 @ 23.976 continuous on a Sandisk 45MB/sec card. Really though since vertical resolution is maxed at 688 I like 1280x688 and it seems to not even use much of the buffer on that resolution

At a glance I have no dots, just the squeeze at 1280x480. Again, only a glance, short on time this weekend

I am now getting 1280x480 continuously. The aspect ratio is 2.5:1. Go up to 2.39:1 and stops at 44 frames. I am currently processing a clip but the squeeze and pink dots are still there but 1280x480 is pretty nice.

I figured the dots were from AF. I put an M lens on and turned AF mode to MF in the menu, then put an EF lens back on switched to MF and still get dots. The AF sensor must be on all the time even when MF is set all around.

Dots and stuff are from af.. have to experiment with turning them off.. they are a problem on all cameras in a few different forms.

Have to see what is up with the squeezing... big problem with EOS-M is its pretty much 720P mode all the time without the fps..

With frame skipping turned off I get continuous 24fps with a Sandisk 45 MB/sec card at 1024 x 576. The resolution right above it 1088x640 stops after 41 frames. The highest resolution 1728x672 stops after 24 frames, again at 24fps.

I have not read anything on workflow so I will research further but I used raw2dng then imported to Lightroom 5 beta, adjusted, exported to TIFF, imported to FCPX, created an image sequence, changed duration to 1 frame each in a 720p @ 24fps project, then exported to youtube.

I don't know why there are red dots in the middle but they are in the dng files right out of raw2dng. Like I said I will research this further maybe this is a known issue in other cameras since I only have the M and the 7d this is my first attempt at raw video.

Thanks 1% I got it working. I don't have time to mess with it now but at 960 x 544 @ 24 fps I captured like 670 frames until live view shut off automatically need to change that setting to never and try again...

Try update... Should load. It is loading on mine. Cold boot in movie mode.

Make sure photo is L... there is some way to get 95MB... I was messing with noise reduction and it freed it in photo mode. Otherwise you get like 55M

Shit! Found a hot method to record on EOS-M... photo mode (after loading modules in movie mode) -> High ISO Noise, Multi Shot... now have the 95MB but can't trigger raw_rec (LV button is dead)

I added menu to trigger and seems to be working... just like 600D. 32*32*29

Ok it is gangster right now... not good for other cameras with the menu thing tho. Hopefully g3gg0's input modules solve this.

Remember:

Movie Cold boot -> load -> photo mode -> canon menu -> nr -> multi shot.
Make sure you don't turn on raw_rec before doing that or it will start recording.. menu key
Quality still should be L, won't let you pick anything else anyway.

Squeeze factor may be off, no pinkies so far. FPS override is your friend. Should be 4gb proof with exfat...

650D try this NR trick!
