So, I'm gunna give it a go today. What build/components should I look for for 550D? Are there an install instructions for 550D yet or do I just follow 5D stuff?
Ooh, that's pretty sweet. A very different look to regular h264. The low resolution makes it really soft, but the DR makes it sooooo filmic. I love it.
Ode to RAW:
If the 5D mkIII is the cine camera,
The 550D is the super 8 film maker!
Film is dead long live the Lantern
Shawn_lights those images are remarkably sharp! How many frames are you able to record in one shot? LV on or off?
Shawn_Lights, can you share which build you are using? I am getting only 19fps stable with the same reso
Idea: It would be nice to automatically toggle/disable global draw upon recording. Then you could set all of your levels etc and when you hit record have maximum performance.
On my EOS 600D with a card that reaches the 21 MB/s limit I was able to get:
- 1280 X 720 | stops after 71 frames | ~ 10 of them are purple frames
- 1280 X 400 | over 1500 frames | ~ 40 of them are purple frames
- 720 X 720 | over 1500 frames| ~ 30 of them are purple frames
- 960 X 540 | over 1500 frames | ~ 30 of them are purple frames
Settings: Golbal Draw = Off, 1080 24p mode, fps override = Off
The card was fresh formated. Quite nice, isn't it?
I also have that problem with these colorful dots if I check the images with Google Picasa ...
But when I open them in Lightroom 4 they disappear
May 13 (tear fix build) Lexar 600x 16Gb.. It's pretty solid, no dropped frames @ 1280x720 and no tearing or any other weirdness. I have to hit the menu button to stop recording which screws up the last 5 frames but other than that it's all good.
First was normal h264, second was 640x480 with raw resolution set to 1280x400.
I only get the pink frames once or twice in the first second or two of footage, then the rest is just fine.
This is with the Sandisk 95, if that makes a shit.
Did this video with the newest 600D build, 1280x720 at 24fps for the h264, and 640x480 at 24 fps with raw resolution set at 1280x400.
Better to use raw in 720p or 480? Seems like the images are cropped differently in each setting, but scaling the 400 up to 720 barely has any effect on quality.
How's this looking for the 550D, guys?
ive tried many configurations to be able to get usable footage with my 600d, the only problem is that damn magenta!
The best you can with 600D (550D/60D) is: (limited by hardware SD transfer rates)
- 960х540, upscale it to 1280х720 (24 fps max)
- 1280х400, tight aspect 3.20:1 (24 fps max)
In Canon's 720p - lineskipping 1.66х, so you should upscale to restore correct ratio:
- 1280x400 upscales to 1280x664 - near to 16:9 (24 fps max)
- 1280x360 upscale to 1280x600 - 2.13:1 aspect
- 1280x320 upscale to 1280x533 - 2.40:1 cinemascope aspect
It is only 1280px wide, but pretty nice looking though
