Hi 
How are you processing the Raw files ?
What your workflow?
Adobe , Resolve, FCPX, etc. ...
What is your raw setting, ISO etc. ...

I just finish a dentistry 6 person testimonial in the dentist office.
with 2, 4ft by 4ft. softboxes, with about 1200 watts incandescent power(fluorescent lights @5000K) .
on a 5D mark 2, @ 1872x930 23.976 .I know you are on a t3i, but basically
the some setup.
The images in some cases was too Sharp and i had to Soften in Post.

   

what kind of lens did you use? is there anywhere i can see the footage you shot?

thanks

I have a Canon T3i
I prefer to shoot RAW.

Currently I am shooting with the standard 18-55mm lens.

I have two lights (LED bulbs) setup, one as a key light and other as a fill light.

The video is coming out too "warm" which I dont mind as much. However, what bugs me the most is it not very sharp and just doesnt seem natural and crisp.

I hope that gives enough background info on this, if you need any other info, please let me know

Thank you

I'm glad you figured out how to remove the kit lens.

Thanks for the quick response .. must be your day off from flipping burgers ..

I am recording some indoor video using standard LED softboxes. I have been using my stock T3i lens but the quality is not coming out to be great.

I'd really appreciate if you guys can recommend some good lenses (under $500) for indoor recording. I am making interview style videos like Charlie Rose/Jay Leno with a green screen in the background.

Thank you in advance.

Hey guys,

I'd really appreciate if you guys know of any tutorials or videos that can help me optimize my indoor recording in an interview type setting .. Id really appreciate it.

Thank you

I'm sorry, I was mistaken. It's when you have a card with a bootflag set and you delete ML files from the card that causes behavior I described. I also apologize for assuming anyone in their right mind would first check the lens in response to any sort of mechanical AF problem.

My advice to you is to delete Magic Lantern and not reinstall it until you mastered such troubleshooting skills as:

• Locating a menu item on your camera
• Using your camera's manual to locate a menu item
• Using Google to find out, in seconds, how to use any function of your camera
• Taking off the lens and putting it back on
• Taking off the lens and putting a different one on
• Using the search function of a forum
• Posting the appropriate section of the forum, cryptically titled "CAMERA EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT"

Hope this helps.

lol this is exactly what I meant ..

You may have to read it a few times to understand this, so I repeat: please advice other people when you learn more about the software or the item in question.
It will really help everyone at the forum

No, this is not true. The information is not valid.
Camera will stuck if you make a card bootable and - for whatever reason - delete the ML files on this card.

Ciao, Walter

Thanks a lot Walter.

PS: engardeknave .. please advice other people when you learn more about the software or the item in question

This sounds more like something is screwed up with your autofocus or lens, try to set the lens to manual focus or with a manual lens if you have one and see if you can take a picture then, but I doubt this being anything related to ML.

i removed the lens and reinstalled it, that fixed the problem.
none of the other things listed here helped..

anyway, someone suggested that i cannot use any other SD card after i install ML on the camera, is that true? i thought ML was installed on the SD card and once i take it out and put in a new card, i can use the camera as original, please advise on this

thanks

You're using a card without ML on it after installing ML? That usually results in a camera that doesn't boot. If this is what you did, you need to install ML to all your cards. To disable it, hold the SET button at boot.

Also see: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?board=45.0

no, i am doing this with the same SD card with ML

I see the camera menu and ML menu just fine but when i push the button to take picture, it just keep clicking like its trying to focus but never really gets to focus the camera


i can still take pictures in A-dep menu but they are very blurry.
None of the other picture modes work as the camera just keep making the whizzing/clicking sound like its trying to adjust zoom/focus

Reset all camera settings to factory defaults (including Fn), remove battery, reinsert battery and try again.

Ciao
Walter

hwo do i reset to factory defaults? i dont see this option under menu

when I push the button to take a picture, it just keeps making a whizzing sound and never really takes a picture in P or A+ mode .. please help

so I installed ML on my T3i but now I when I swap cards and try to the use the camera using Canon, the camera doesnt work properly and just struggles to focus and never really takes the picture

what can i do to fix this problem so I can start using my camera to take pictures, prior to installing ML

thank you

This used to be an extremely helpful thread and then the pros stopped responding, guys please help ..
everyone here has a similar problem.

I have a T3i and I connected my H2N to it externally.  i turned down the mic on the camera completely down to 0 and now the video wont record any audio at all

ML says that it has not audio setting for T3i, please help .. I am stumped.


Thank you

ok, so i turned down the mic on the camera completely down to 0 and now the video wont record any audio at all
i guess all that noisy audio was being recorded from the camera and not from the H2N

Why not record with the H2N and use camera audio as reference?
>> because i want to record it like a camcorder.

Did you set the input gain to manual? Can you upload a sample of the audio with noise?
>> yes, id did sent the Sound rec. on T3i to manual.
it is not letting me upload audio file

please help  ..

i turned down the gain completely on the camera and using H2N mic for recording using the XY configuration.

the issue obviously is with the camera because as a standalone mic, the H2N records great audio

Please help

Hello

I am using H2N external mic with my T3i rebel and when i record video I get a lot of background noise and the audio is not clear.
When I record audio on the mic alone, it is amazing quality.

Please help how I can fix this problem using ML.

Thank you

thank you kind sir

Hello guys

I installed ML on my camera, I can go to the menu and read help by pushing the delete button when I go to movie mode I do not see the Mv symbol or any of the menu items on the bottom

I have a Canon T3i

Please help

Thanks
