Does someone has a copy of Canon's 5D Mark III original 1.2.3 firmware? I just can't find it on the internet anymore not even on ftp servers - seems like Canon wiped it everywhere. The only links I've found are scam. I can only find 1.3.3 Thank you!

Btw. this site seems like it's down:  http://pel.hu/eoscard/

Share Your Videos / The Moon Epic footage

The Moon shot using a BMPCC & 5D Mk3 with Magic Lantern RAW (113). The telescope shots were entirely shot on the 5D.

Do you already updated the Canon firmware to 1.2.3 ??? ML files 1.2.3 works only with Canon firmware 1.2.3

Guys I really really need your help. I must be missing some vital step but I've been over the instal procedure at least a dozen times and my camera just won't read the files. her's what I've done. Format card, download ML files 1.2.3  Put files on card. Put card in camera. switched on camera. Then nothing. Went to firmware up date. pressed firmware update. camera says you'll need a memory card to update I press Ok then nothing. 12 times I've done this and still nothing. What should the ML files look like? I've gone to the link on this page and copied those files which says ML nightly. Are these ally he files I need cause sit doesn't look like it to me. Need your help. Some guy tried to charge me £120 for the privilege of installing Magic Lantern and I'm getting rather frazzled.

Hi craig,
I've got the same vertical banding but it has been solved with the new version of RawMagic.
Take a look at my blog post for more info:

Found a bug in GoPro Studio Premium 1.3.2.170:

Green / yellow fringing jumping around bright edges when the "Despeckle / Dead Pixel Fix" is activated and the slider is set to anything above 0. It's a bummer because it really removes Dead/Hot Pixels but adds these artifacts to the clips. When it's set to 0 the image is just right.

PS. I use DNGs from the Canon 5D Mark III converted with RAWanizer 0.6.1
Btw. this green fringing is also visible in DaVinci Resolve 9.1.5 but not in Adobe Camera RAW > http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7399.msg63877#msg63877

@usasikh1

here is a DNG frame from the clip with artifacts:

Hi kgv5,

this workflow would be fine but I get horrible image quality inside of DaVinci Resolve with jumping green fringing artifacts around bright edges. Though it's not always visible. Don't you have the same problems? Are you using MAC or Windows version of Resolve?

Hi meditant,

thanks for taking your time. Yes it's visible but much lesser. Are you using DaVinci for Windows or MAC? I have to do the same test on a MAC maybe it interprets it a little bit different than Windows version.

Do you really need to grade RAW files? Elsewhere I would choose 2nd workflow with CineForm 444 instead and get the job done. You still have a much higher quality than the normal H.264 from the camera. I've done some extensive tests and right now there is no "optimal" workflow without quirks.

DNG to Resolve 9.1.5: On my footage I clearly see jumping "green fringing" on bright edges. See my previous post.

Seems like Resolve is optimized for speed and is interpreting the DNGs or cDNGs differently than Adobe Camera RAW. This fringing is not always visible but it's annoying.

The same fringing is visible in CineForm clips when using the "Despeckle/Dead Pixel Fix" slider (set to anything above 0) in the GoPro Studio Premium Advanced Settings.

On the other side the Adobe Camera RAW workflow results in much cleaner output (due to noise reduction, sharpening...) but it's not really a RAW workflow. You can only adjust once when importing the files. And no realtime scrubbing...

Yes of course see the links below. It only happens around bright edges that rolloff to dark grey. It's not always that visible. And no it's not chromatic aberration.

Yes it's BMD Film exactly like shown in your tutorial. It happens only on bright edges.

Hi Hunter,

just saw your vimeo tutorial regarding the 5D Mark III RAW video workflow. I followed your tutorial using your LUT but I always get "green fringing" around bright edges and distracting noise in my footage. In DaVinci Resolve Lite 9.1.5 the output looks horrible compared to After Effects workflow.

How did you get such a clean image output in DaVinci Resolve? I've also used different converters for DNG but it makes no difference to the image quality. I don't know what Im doing wrong.

See the attached JPG for a comparison between Resolve and After Effects output.

Best Regards
Daniel

Im just saying that these codecs are not hardware based like they were before. Nowadays they are made out of 0 and 1 - it's much more cheaper for the companies to drop it faster on the market and offering firmware updates later if something doesn't work right.

These new powerful DIGIC 5+ image processors can handle almost any task that you give to them - in realtime. They're built in the 5D Mark III, EOS-1DX and the soon available 4K EOS-1DC DSLR with 8bit 4:2:2 1080p HDMI output. This makes me think that the Canon management told their engineers to cripple the power of the lower end DSLRs like the EOS-1DX, 5D Mark III, 650D by using only a different software. The hardware parts are almost the same if you check the specifications (besides the CMOS sensors). With this faster DIGIC 5+ image processor it should be possible to gain more (or real 1080p) resolution (like the Panasonic GH2) from a 5D Mark III by optimizing the intentionally crippled downscale algorithm.

With the 5D Mark II they introduced line-skipping because the processor was not fast enough to handle the stream of data. Now they advertise the new 5D Mark III does not use line-skipping anymore.

When I see what you guys at Magic Lantern have succeeded so far, Im wondering if these very talented programmers could also implement a MPEG variant XF 422 codec at 50Mbit in a 5D Mark III or at least unlock the full potential of the DIGIC5+ processor.

The hardware is right in front of us, we just need some software engineers to make it work with real FullHD like Canon advertised :-)

Thanks so far for your invaluable work!
