What is the stable resolution for MLV on 5D mark II ?
i tried 1856 with an 1.85 ratio but on my both two cards it stopped after 30 seconds or so (Komputerbay 1000X 64GB and Lexar 32GB 1000x)

I can't understand this (from the first page):

"Expose to the right for the lower ISO (usually ISO 100). Maybe darken 1 stop from there."

the metering looks like this   :  -2 ... -1 ... 0 ... +1 ... +2
Basically i should expose to the right (+1) and the darken 1 stop (go back?)



Let's say i have the sky and some shadow(y) parts

I usually use the spot mettering so I can get to pick which area i'm exposing for. Should I aim for the sky or for the shadow parts?

Where can I find the latest build?

it's the one on 2014-02-14 ?

Thanks

i can confirm the 42GB limit exist on Komputerbay 64GB 1000x card.

Thank you very much, you bypassed the AUTO ISO problem 5D2 had ..

Can anyone explain the new "auto exposure" module? I loaded it and enable it, but it doesnt "auto" anything. I supposd it should act like an "auto iso"?

Thanks

please post some numbers for the komputerbay 1000
especially for the close-to-1920x1080 sizes

thanks

1872x1052 - 1311frames / 1515 frames / 1427 frames
before this build I was having about 380 frames

I propose the "small hacks" to be renamed in "BIG HACKS"

stupid / blind me

found the option.. 75MB/sec

guys, i'm gonna contribute, you really deserve it

the  "small hacks" is setting the file type / size as jpeg small?
in the preview i set "hacked"

Anybody with Komputerbay 64GB can confirm the speed improvements?
I remember that in one build, the developers fixed something about Komputerbay cards..


Thing is when everybody got 350frames at 1880, 16/9, i was getting about 380 frames..
For me, the new build is at staying at 350frames (with small jpeg as picture size, manual lcd brightness, fps override 24)

Could it be a software related issue? Or just a slow card

1) well.. it's simple to say get a lexar but in Europe where i live it's about 410$ the 32GB one

2) Transcend 1000x and the others (Komputerbay and Sandisk 90MB are pretty stable in you record in 800x instead of 854x (continuous i mean)  (I dont consider it a big difference)
3) With the latest speed improvements there is hope to get stable 854p for the others
4) The Lexar 1000x will never be used at full speed on a 5D2 (so you pay for something you will never use)
5) a fast CF card is not a good investment.. Sure, after 3 years when you're gonna switch for the 5D3, you'll be able to get a Kingston, Transcend, Delkin (cheap cards) with 128-256GB of storage able to record full HD 25/30fps

6) Did i mention that it costs 410$ in Romania?

sennn, what card did you bought? how many frames can you get in different resolutions?

Ted, can you do a test and record 1600x900 and tell me how many frames you get? (I believe you have a Lexar 1000x 32GB, right?)
Thanks

from a amazon comment on 128 GB Komputerbay card


"The tech support person was great to talk to, here is a bit of inside info he gave me. They use micron/crucial chips on the 128GB card and a MSI (I think it's LSI) controller if I remember correctly. He said it the same as the Lexar 1000x cards. The Komputerbay smaller CF cards use samsung chips."

So maybe the 128GB is not a lottery and the price is between the Lexar 32 and Lexar 64.

What do you think?

I don't know if I should go for a Komputerbay 128GB or a Lexar 32GB 1000x

What is the best performance / price ratio for a CF to use RAW?
I saw that the alternatives are Lexar 1000x, Toshiba 1066x, Komputerbay 1000x, Transcend 1000x, Sandisk 60 or 90MBps

Since 5D2 hardware is limited at about 65MB/second there's no point in getting a Lexar or a Toshiba.
What would be the next best thing to use raw with this ones?

Thanks,
