I don't take money donations. ML takes BTC donations. No workforce, its just me and 5 bodies. My goal is a fully featured camera that I can use, its never been much more than that.

I, for one, think you are doing an amazing job on this 1%, and dont really see why you should change what you're doing.

Weirdly, I just did a professional shoot and not one single problem with ettr, it worked every time, and I don't think that I've changed any settings. I will write everything down if it starts working strangely again.

So I have been using ettr for quite while now and usually it works really well. However, I must have done something as it is not behaving itself.
When I try to ettr in manual mode, ML only tries to change the iso settings, and nothing else. Before.
, it seemed to change the shutter settings first and if it couldnt get within range, it would then change iso. now it just changes iso, no matter what I do or what the camera is set to exposure wise.
I have even tried to test it by manually ettr ing and then auto ettring, only to watch the camera ramp up the iso until the max it is allowed to do and coming up with an error.
Has anyone had this experience and know the fix?

1) Flickering. See video. The exposure changes as the butterfly covers more or less frame surface, opening and closing the wings. ¿It's a expected result from iso auto?. These are 5x  takes.
Note: Perhaps expo override is the solution.  I need to try it more. I shot without expo override, because for that I need change my workflow (no autoiso), no valid photo configuration.

Yes I have had the same problem with auto iso. is is better to video using fixed iso and manual exposure/shutter

Its a resize and not a crop

Do you know if this is also happening when recording 720/50/60 in h264?
I dont get why canon decided that the lv feed needs to be squishy only for fast fps, after all the sensor is 3;2, right?

No overcranking in zoom mode except a few fps, otherwise image collapses, etc.

boo hoo, the difference zoom mode makes is huge
1st shot, test for real world filming conditions, no zoom mode - unusuable, moire everwhere
2nd shot, test to induce extreme moire conditions, zoom mode - no moire

Remind me, I am being dense, but do you know why LV does squash the 50/60fps footage? Thanks

I believe it was tested a month ago and I think it turned out to not be possible.

Big shame, as there is virtually no moire or jaggies in my tests. Looks really nice, just wish i could over crank it =D

And I dont want to bash a dead horse, but would it be possible to have an option to set our own custom resolutions, one that isnt standard? Say, for example, I am designing something like an art installation and I want to make a video of exact dimensions, 118x956 - (an example not the exact specs of what I want to design), would this be possible one day in the future? I would like to be able to type in the height and width to suit my project.

or I could crop, i suppose, but I am trying to get the maximum out of the 40bps record limit issue

Thanks I will try exposure override.

The youtube problem is bizarre, never happened on anything else I´ve uploaded

With zoomed in mode, is it possible to fps overide to 48fps, it only seems to record at max 30fps?

I am still having problems with auto exposure coming on when in M mode and filming at 48fps. Is there a way to stop auto exposure taking over? I want it completely manual.


To show this problem I made a quick video and stuck it on Youtube. But youtube only uploaded it at 480p, does anyone know why?
The video is shot 48fps at 634*1808, up rezed to 1080*1920 and conformed to 24fps. In real life it is sharp

Notice the auto exposure change at 2 seconds even though it was set to full manual in M mode

Now I am confused, 5472 x 3078 divided by 3 is 1824 x 1026, not 1808 x 1018
Is this why the 6d has moire?

Thanks, I shall test it

[edit] Ignore below, I was using a version of raw2cdng from the 1980s =D all fixed
Has anyone managed to open 6d raw video in davinci resolve? Mine come out weird, losing all contrast and completely blown highlights.

That´s on drugs =D Is there not a way to record unsquished?

So I have been trying to record at 50fps 720p. Why is there a 1.6 stretch needed, could we not just record 720*1280 at 50fps for shorter periods? thanks

Do you want more canon crap working or modules working? Wifi transfer actually the first "usable" feature that gets turned off.

for my vote, switch all canon stuff off, and see how much we gain, then we can turn back on some of the canon stuff if the gain isnt worth it.
we can always boot with ml off when we need those features =D

Yea, no point in photo mode now that the normal hack works... but this isn't true for everyone else....

the ml team truely are amazing, thanks for all your continuosly awesome work!

What is the current thought on 10bit raw, is it possible, and is there an easy way to calculate how much bitrate it´ll save?

I am not sure that bulb timer works any more in b mode

where do i get the scripts from, i always have this dir scripts missing message on start up. What do they do?

does 5x mode use more memory? at 720 24fps normal mode I can record for ever, but with 5x mode, I can only record 780 frames

on 5x mode the moire is 0x, or nearly.

so let me try and get my head around this. with 5x a 24mm becomes a 120mm, plus the crop factor of 720 vs using the whole lv frame, maybe half?...240mm? But all this, with the distortion characteristics of a 24mm at the center of the lens? Ive gotta test this, does it look cool, or does it look freaky?
=D

It doesn't scale as much... basically a 1:1 of the sensor in a few pieces.

Does anyone know if moire is less in 5x mode. I tried testing, but my place of moire - some local buildings - have been out of bounds for me for a while lol

Is there any setup where we can do 720 60p in rawc. I saw some mention of it earlier in this thread, but nothing more was said about it.

[edit] if not 720 60p can we do 720 48fps in rawc? if so, how?


Dumb question, is this file only for EOSm or is it also for 6d [EOSM] - 5D3 Rawtype.zip

You can't chose over 1792 because that is about where canon size is. "full" size is only 1824. 28x64 is already 1792.

in which mode are you getting 1792 vertically, the most i get is 1216 when i choose 9:16

Do I have to make my card bootable again?

yes, after you have dragged the files on, make it bootable

Sparedog, do you have VAF-6D? I am very interested in it, seen couple of tests and looks very good IMO but I would like to hear about it from the actual owner. Is picture with this filter comparable with the one from 5D3?

VAF-6D owners - please give your honest opinion 

I didnt buy one in the end, only because my short film project has been postponed... script problems

The pro definitely gives a better result than the extreme, by about 4mb second I seem to remember.
Ex fat only gives larger file sizes, I think, I don't see any real speed differences. But files sizes above 4gb are worth the reformat
