Here's my second test shot. I have a lot more I plan on cutting into a sequence but it's the 4th of July so I'm not working that much today on principal. I am mainly trying to test how the camera responds under different lighting conditions, motion, etc.

I've been experimenting with a couple settings, and find for my needs the 940 x 560 works really well, especially how you can change image size in processing. I'm averaging just over 1500 frames with global draw off.

Just got 1514 frames at 960x540 on the newest hourly that was posted 2 days ago on the drop box. I had global draw off, and just used canons built in meter to adjust exposure.

Really impressive stuff man, keep it up. I went from kinda wanting to shoot raw to not being able to shoot anything but raw. The quality is unreal, even at half of 1080 h264. Color depth is amazing. I plan on doing a more extensive test over tonight and tomorrow under different conditions, which I will post when available.

However, I did brick the camera once with this new update. I was recording raw and accidentally hit record again and the camera froze. Removed the battery and sd card and it started up again, but my modules wouldn't load. I formatted the card and re-uploaded the firmware and it seems to be working fine now.

Lesson learned, alway's have a back-up sd with standard ml.

This is a quick test I just did. I'm running the 9th update from the first page of this post.

Still toying with the settings. Finding I have a lot of latitude on the brights than I ever did with h264, which is a little confusing when shooting (i've shot so much h264 I literally automatically underexpose now) but awesome to know going forward.
