You, kind sirs, are scholars and gentlemen. You are Correct!

I was futzing with the new controls of this latest version of ML and did indeed enable Dual ISO, then forgot to turn it off. Doh!

And here is one of the pics I grabbed After you expert advice:




Now, I am wondering if the vids and stills I shot with this dual ISO set to On are usable. Guess I need to learn how to process these. Any advice?


Thank you! Thank you!

Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, and if there might be a solution out there.

After running ML for Canon firmware 1.1.3, and shooting both raw video and stills on my 5D3 for over a year with very few issues, I have just installed ML for 1.2.3 and am having a major problem.

About half of both my stills and videos are showing up with horizontal lines through them. The lines look very much like video interlacing lines and they are present from top to bottom of the frame.

I have tried removing the battery and rebooting, reinstalling ML, but no luck. This is still happening.

Here are 2 examples, the first being a video frame, and the second being a still frame:






I should note that the other half of my stills and videos turned out fine.

Any ideas? Solutions? Anything?  I'd surely appreciate it.

Thanks much

Truly awesome piece. Beautiful and moving. And, great cinematography.

Do you mind if I ask at what resolution you shot your Magic Lantern footage? Is that 1080p? Or was it shot higher and then scaled down? I ask because your Canon shots are dead sharp, and I seem to be having problems with that while shooting ML Raw on the same camera. And also, at what resolution did you do your final render for Vimeo?

Any advice would be nifty.

Again, great work. Show it to Jackson while you're in the neighborhood. Maybe he'll hire you!

Hi everyone.

So I've scoured this site, and others, for possible solutions to the problem of not being able to playback raw video on the 5D3, and am wondering if this idea I have might possibly be a decent workaround.

I realize that the current raw capabilities on ML are based on Canon firmware version 1.1.3, which does not have clean HDMI out. So this precludes any external monitoring, or playback.

BUT, would it be possible to hook up an Atomos Ninja 2 to the RCA port on the 5D3 via an adapter cable (HDMI to RCA) and record to the Ninja that way? I realize that the quality would suffer, and so doing things like using the Ninja for focusing might be problematic, but I'm really only looking for the ability to playback the current shot to check for issues like framing and performance, so i can move on to the next shot with some level of confidence.

I have never used a Ninja before, and thus have no idea if this is even possible. Which is why I'm asking you.

Some of my concerns are:
- would I lose LiveView when connecting an RCA jack for output?
- would this affect write speed?
- Is this even possible at all?

Any comments, advice, other solutions, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

Does anyone out there know if there is ANY way to view 3x crop mode (not 5x) through the viewfinder, in color?

I've discovered that I can indeed see the 3x crop through the viewfinder if I turn on Global View and set the Preview to ML_Greyscale, but I do a lot of focusing on the run, and the glitchy greyscale image I get is just too degraded to grab good focus on the fly.

Am I missing something?

I'm using the Aug 22 build.

I'd love to know if this is working for the 5D3.

Instead of offering an answer, or opinion, I'd like to ask a question:

How are you monitoring while shooting RAW on the 5D3. I have not tried this yet only because everything I hear points to the HDMI out on Canon version 1.1.3 firmware to be UnClean, and unusable for monitoring?

My main purpose for monitoring would be to record, at whatever quality, simply for playback (checking framing and performance), but just being able to monitor would be nice too.

So, how are you accomplishing this?

I'd love to know!

Thanks!

Nothing? Really?

I would try downloading and installing Resolve 10 lite. Then import your new DNG sequence and make sure the resolution is set to Full in the Raw tab. This resolution setting is new to version 10 and forces the res to whatever you like - Full, half, one quarter. Don't know if this will solve your problem but it's worth a go.

Figured it out myself, folks. Or, kind of. Not sure why, but it seems the card reader that is built into my Toshiba Qosmio was not loading the VBR. But my other laptop did with no problem. I'm up and running with ML now, and loving it. Big fat kudos to all the devs out there!

Hi all.

I'm really hoping someone can help me here.  I'm tring to install ML on my 5dM3 but am having a problem making the SD card bootable. I'm at the point where I have formatted the SD card (Transcend 8gb SDHC) in the camera, copied all the necessary files over to it, and am now ATTEMPTING to use EOScard.exe to make it bootable, before I update the firmware. The card is formatted FAT32.

Whenever I run EOScard I see an error on the bottom of the GUI that says "FAT32 VBR load failed",



The information displayed in the GUI is there, but everything is greyed out, including the check boxes. Clicking Refresh does not help.

I've searched high and low on the web and the only POSSIBLE solution I found was someone who said he skipped the EOScard step and just went right to the firmware update. I don't want to try that solution as it worries me.

Has anyone out there run into this before? How did you solve this problem?

Thanks everyone.
