Tragic Lantern / FPS Override
January 01, 2014, 09:47:54 PM
No idea if I'm posting in the right place. I find this forum and its threads terribly confusing. Regardless, here's my issue:

Installed TL Dec 28 build and shot a 2-hour time-lapse on my 7D using FPS override. I've done this before on my 60D using ML with no issues. However, on my 7D when I stopped the recording, everything seemed to freeze up. I left it for a few minutes in case something was buffering or what have you, but in the end had to pull the battery to reset the camera. End result is no video on the card (Lexar Pro 400x), meaning a loss of two hours of data. It wasn't production work so I'm not overly concerned but I'd like to know if this is a bug or if the FPS override feature just isn't up to spec yet.

Also, file manager module refuses to load and crashes TL until I reboot camera, again by pulling the battery.

disable 10X zoom in ML menu as its the one causing the freeze.
You can also press the play button if you freeze in crop/magnify mode.

I disabled 10x zoom but the freezing persists, only when I stop recording video with FPS Override turned on. Pressing Menu twice or pressing Play once have no effect. My only solution now is to pull the battery.

1. have a look in menu at module section end disable raw_rec or mlv,if they are both of them enabled
2. fps override will work just if you go in canon menu end select update firmaware.Have to be done everytime you torn on the camera.

Thanks. They were both enabled but I didn't realize I'd still need to manually update the firmware to make it work. I thought the autoboot meant that wasn't necessary. So now I've got it working but when I stop recording the live view freezes. I had read that pressing Menu twice would unfreeze, but that doesn't work for me. However, pressing Menu THREE times causes the camera to reboot and returns things to normal. Out of four tests, one required me pulling the battery to kill the live view.

Long-time reader, first-time poster. Was using the official alpha 2 build for the last few months but longed for the FPS Override feature my better half has on her 60D, so this morning I took the plunge and installed the auto boot and 1%'s build from 9/12. Two things I noticed:

  • RAW Video shows up twice in the Movie menu
  • FPS Override appears to be functional in the Movie menu (I can turn it on and set it up) but my 7D isn't actually recording at the lower framerate :(

Anyone know why?
