Hi, I am new to the forum and a new owner of a mint condition 50D. As soon as I received the camera I installed ML. First I want to thank all of the contributors and testers who have made Raw video on the 50D possible. It is a beautiful image. But, there's always a but, when I first started using ML Raw, I had no issues whatsoever, everything worked fine. Then, out of nowhere, it started freezing up on me. At first I thought it was because I have global draw on while recording, so I switched it off, didn't change a thing. Then I thought it was because ALO kept enabling itself. Actually after the camera freezes, the only way to unfreeze it is to take the battery out. Then when back on and running, the camera does not recognize the raw module, or actually the module screen. It requires an on/off cycle for it to be recognized again. I finally figured out how to disable ALO and I was ready to go, but nope, it still freezes. My only assumption is temperature. When I initially turn on the camera, it registers at 30 degrees Celsius, I guess it seems okay, but by the second or third take, the camera is freezing every time I hit record. By then the temperature is floating around 45 degrees. Anyway, I could really use some help here, because I don't know if this is a settings issue or my camera is just running hot or what, but this is unusable as is. I read earlier in this thread, about a basic 2.3 version, is that version more stable, or are there any plans to create a very basic build that only has the most relevant of tweaks... 24p (23.976) exposure override, manual controls, Raw recording, and any other basic settings? Am not a technical person, so I'm not even sure that would help with the stability? I have fallen in love with the image coming out of the 50D Raw, but now it seems like I won't be able to use it, but now I'm already hooked and I can't go back to generic consumer 4K. Please help.
EDIT: Okay, so I decided to try and reformat the card and now it works fine. I apologize if this is a common fix that I wasn't aware of. But when this started to occur, the card (lexar 64gb 1066 card) was only about half full. Will this happen every time the card fills up, or was there just some kind of glitch that was fixed when I reformatted the card? Also, if I remember correctly, the problem occurred after I received a funky file that was pink and digitized... Could that have been the cause?
