It improves the quality of the image.

I am sorry if this is the wrong place for this discussion in advanced.

That is interesting to hear Spider. I have no way to prove how the image quality is affected by movie crop mode, but it appears (to my naked eye) to soften the image. Movie crop mode does improve, or completely alleviate moire aliasing by creating less or no space between effective pixels. This can be considered and improvement. Do you have more information on how movie crop mode affects the image quality? I can't find to much info about it myself.

Also, Movie crop mode basically turns your sensor into one 1/3 the size, and takes away that beautiful depth of field that we get from the  beautiful large sensors of dslrs, one of the things that attracted people to use dslrs for movie making in the first place. I have found movie crop mode useful when trying shooting an object far away with out a good telephoto lens on hand, and I am glad I have it on the camera for that purpose. I have shot a couple of stage performance using it, and helped me get good close ups of the performers from a long distance with a 17-55mm lens. Thank you ML!

Sorry for my question, who to use Digital Zoom in the 650D? It's possible??

yes it is possible with the version of ML I am using on my 650d. I am not sure which one it is though... Here is a video showing the use of it: https://vimeo.com/70659075

It is not ditigal zoom in the respect that it crops the image. It samples the pixels closer to the center of sensor rather than pixels spread across the sensor (video mode does not use 100% of all pixels on the sensor). It barely reduces the quality of the image...

I love this! thank you! everything is working good with the 1.0.4 firmware.

Movie crop mode is great! Now the only thing keeping me from using my 650d over my 600d is audio features.

I made a short clip comparing movie crop mode to optical zoom. I think it is interesting to note that Movie Crop Mode is more light sensitive, I think by a whole step. It is so much so that I could use the exact same setting when changing from normal to movie crop mode because it was over exposed. Also, I find movie crop mode to be softer, and the colors not as rich. These were the same findings I had with the 600d in movie crop mode. It is still a very usefully, and fun feature to have though. Thank you developers!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the developers! I have been using the latest build of ML on my 650d for many jobs: weddings, interviews, and other. I have had no problems, and only great results. But sometimes I use my 600d instead mainly because of the audio features. I am looking forward to the future features for the 650d. You guys serious rock!

well, I experienced this also, on the pre alpha 1 (i believe). so the thing i thought i record wasn't recorded, vice versa. luckily it's not a wedding or such.  :P

Thank goodness it wasn't a wedding... But I have one coming up soon, and I probably won't use the ML overlay just yet. I think the build I was using was the Alpha 2, it was the build complied by satriani (ML_N_30) that has the RAW video module.

BUG:

The red circle record indicator sometimes disappears while recording with the ML overlay. I accidentally stop recording today, because I didn't notice the red circle. This might be problematic to a lot of users.

Thanks for the great work developers!

BUG:

Gradual exposure causes discoloration when changing between ISO settings.

BUG:

When I change the ISO during recording, the iso numbers on the bottom of the screen don't change right away.

I am new to this forum, and just successfully installed the alpha 2 on my 650d. Ever thing seems to be working great, though I have not tried to FPS override that everyone is talking about. I LOVE the focus peaking, and it seems to work very well. I tested the HDR right away, and posted the results here: https://vimeo.com/65588885

The way the HDR feature works, I would expect ghosting. But in the second test, there is jittering in the center of the frame, on the face of the tunnel that seems strange. It is probably not a bug, just how HDR works on this camera.

I really LOVE ML, thank you to everyone helping out in the development of ML for the 650d.

PS. I can't wait for some audio features to be released.
