Film I shot a week ago using the latest RAW build. I was able to shoot 4-5 second bursts of slow mo 50fps RAW. The results blew me away. Dynamic range is what I'm interested in and it really looks like alexa or film stock. Enjoy!

Filmed on Canon Mk3 using Magic Lantern RAW beta build 21/6/2013.
Filmed at 1920p 50fps in approx. 4-5 second bursts on KomputerBay 128gig (Buffer then runs out).

Grading is only very light. The pictures coming straight out of the camera are phenomenal.
The detail and dynamic range are really unbelievable. A couple of shots have been stabilized in post.

Incredible! well done.

Is there anyway to currently be able to view the screen during recording at 1:1 "zoom" mode? If I could see my framing and not have the like 5 fps lag I would be a very happy man.

Have you tried keeping global draw on?

The older build im using lets me frame in grayscale if you keep global draw on. I get 9 seconds with global draw on (for framing) and about 17 seconds with global draw off (without framing).

Brilliant color! Did you use a Print LUT? Resolve?

At 0:05, I knew it was gonna be a mindblow.

Here is a little test film I threw together. Love the 50D and I love my girlfriend

Oh, this is you Dave! Its me, Dan.

Same thing goes for Resolve. It's debayering isn't as good as results using ACR.

okay cool! do you know if the VAF anti aliasing/moire filter for the 60d will work on the 50d???

That's going to be the next hurdle here...

Im getting red dots all over my image when I review my footage. Not sure if thats the moire or if the camera is broken or if this is normal...i havent seen these red dots in other peoples videos. HELP! thanks




the internet has softened the image a bit but there is a ton of red dots all over the leaves in my footage....

Looks like a bad case of moire between those leaves and siding. 

Cool. By the way, I liked your video "On A Distant Planet"; short but I got the message, in the end I was looking for more. Is it alright if I link or embed the video on a web page.?

I would be honored!

Don't bet your life on it!

:-)

Agreed He was just asking if it was possible at the moment though.

Yup it's off. Are you saying that's impossible for our 50D to do a continous 1920x1080 raw recording atm?

That's correct.

Got it to work! However, what will be recorded as video? Is it still going to record the non-zoomed area? Btw, it stopped after 2 seconds. My 400x is so slow, LOL Really need to buy the 1000x cf cards.

Great to hear you got it working! Using a Toshiba 1066x Exceria Pro 64gb, i'm only getting about 10 seconds... Have you tried turning off global draw? If you haven't yet, that should give you a few more seconds.

I tried it but it didn't work. It still picked 1584x892. Maybe because my cf card is slow. Do you think it's because of my non-1000x cf card?

That's odd. So you're saying that while you are in 5x zoom mode, if you enter the magic lantern menu, you don't see a grayed-out "1920x1072"? I'm probably stating the obvious here... but the 5x button isn't an on/off switch 1920 recording, it's a different video mode altogether.

The card you are using exceeds the bitrate required for 1920 recording. Perhaps 1% can comment?

Hey guys,

When I go inside Resolution and move my selection over 1600 menu or any resolution above 1600, the status says

1600 is not possible in current video mode (max 1584).

I was told that our 50D can do 1920 raw.

Thanks!

You'll have to press the 5x zoom button on your 50d. The recording resolution will automatically change to 1920x1072.

Nice video. Which cf card are you using?

Thanks. The toshiba 1066 exceria pro 64gb

Here's a pretty intense low light test. It was shot on exposure override at f1.8 1/48th shutter speed and 3200ISO. I was very impressed with the resolution we can achieve with such a high ISO!

It was a canon 50mm f1.8 lens. Shot during the darkest part of the night.

Hmm, I dont feel like I get even near that kind of lowlight performance on 1600, any noise reduction going on in resolve?

No.

Holy crap I love that grade. Good job on composition too.

What Iso and Lens? Youtube compression can be get blocky with dark scenes but even then I get the feeling the source files look good.

Thanks CaptainOfObvious! I used Canon f1.8 50mm, wide open at an 1600 ISO. In resolve I interpreted my clip exposure at 0.90. The source files are nice and sharp.

Here's a low light indoor test.

I have 2 Toshiba 1066x cards, they're no faster than the Lexar 1000x. Toshiba's marketing is all hype not surprisingly.

I can second that. It's a great card, but it's not close to the 150 Mbps write that they claim.

Try these steps:

- create new bin
- right click bin folder, click import, select all .tif sequence file.
- click bin folder
- click automate to sequence (sequence icon)
- select desired settings, click OK

You have to kill the dialog timers with don't click me and then get into LV.. second record speeds up. Do first in regular mode before you zoom.

1200+ frames of 1920x1072
1000+ 1984x1056
1920x1040 - supposed to be continuous but my card filled

This is the key. I'm getting 77 Mb/s average.

Also I should mention, I'm getting pink frames on 80% of 1:1 @ 1920 x 1040. GregoryOfManhatten build with 1%'s side effect modules. Im using a Toshiba 1066x Exceria 64gb.

Here's a bit of 1920x 1040 from my 50d. Quick Test for latitude. I accidentally severely underexposed the face yet I was able to bring most of it back. F7 in low light. Wow. A 50mm f1.8 lens was used.

This is using A1ex's buffer sorting method and I get about 6-10 seconds per clip (1080p) on a Transcend 600x CF card. Not bad

Nice! Could you link us to the precise build please?

Can you post a download link for a cndg frame? I'll run some tests... If you turn exposure down do see any cloud definition?

The Shadow/Highlight recovery isn't as scalable as ACR with CinemaDNG/Resolve at the moment. Definitely a setback.

I find it's most helpful to start my grade from a BMCfilm setting within Camera Raw. Log importing helps your latitude right off the bat.

It is a bit bootleg, needs some refinement.. and I think after some recording the last chunk shrinks. Wonder what diff order would do now.

Well any more speed an the camera will just record full res. Its close now. Some side effects are that you lose all dialogs.

That's going to blow up tomorrow in the news. As soon as I saw the post about 80Mbs, I ran to pick up a 50d. Looking forward to running the Toshiba 1066x through some tests.
