Would anyone mind telling me what bit depth is the 60D raw, and also what are the recommended settings in FPS override (never mind this, found out that exact fps seems better). thanks

Hi all, been shooting with my 60D for awhile now and thought I would put my latest work here, shot with two 60D's, any feedback would be greatly appreciated .

I did read all of this thread but the amount of noise still surprised me, now I know i'm on the right track so thanks very helpful 

Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the consensus online is to slightly overexpose your image so you don't have to lift your blacks in post. I know exactly what you're talking about. Typically for raw photos I'd get an ideal exposure, lift my blacks and lower my highlights in post but the 60D raw footage works better by shooting a little overexposed (ETTR-expose to the right). There is definitely the ability to recover highlights but lifting shadows in the raw 60D footage is very dangerous, tons of noise.

I know what you mean, did another quick test and the noise is really bad even without trying to recover any of the shadow detail.

This was shot at 1280, 2.35.1 at 160 ISO, 1.4 f stop and I haven't done anything to the image, was just wondering if this is normal.

To solve the 'script dir missing' problem I put the scripts folder in the ML folder, I feel I did something wrong because when I imported the dng sequence into AE, I saw increased latitude in the highlights but the shadows I couldn't do anything with or it came out noisy (edit: This wasn't to do with shadow clipping, they were very slightly underexposed and any slight recovery would bring up terrible noise), will try again by installing the NB. To install do I simply replace the autoexec, add modules and scripts into the ML folder and choose the regular install new firmware option?

Ok, so i've just reached the point where i've got a file that's bigger than 4gb (16:9 960x540 = 8156 frames) & its given me a regular .RAW file & .R00 files - can't open either of them, can't preview in camera either.

What the BJesus do i do?

I've always put the newest NB over the v2.3, as it deletes the help menus which are useless on these builds. Then you just replace the autoexec.bin & put the other files into a folder named MODULES & put that in the ML folder on your SD card.
I like testing out the NB anyways, so its just the next step.
Try it without loading up a NB, just replace autoexec.bin etc...over the v2.3 - don't se why it shouldn't work.

Many thanks for the quick reply, just installed it and it is fine so far apart from it saying scripts dir missing when I turn it on, will let you know how I get on, thanks!

Sorry, i'm a bit confused, you say to install the latest nightly build before doing anything else and on the nightly builds forum it says not for Raw, I have  v2.3 on my 60D and am wondering if somebody clear this up for me. I'm probably missing something really simple, but I want to make sure I do it right, oh and thank you for making such an amazing feature.
