The ML team has done a great job with Canon cameras. I ran ML for three years on my 550d and recently upgraded to a 5d mk3 instead of a blackmagic cinema camera due to ML. However the mk3's sensor does not hold a candle to Sony's sensor in D800 or 7R. That sensor has a native DR of 14 stops without Dual ISO! It also has a lot less noise allowing much more underexposure than the mk3. If the above to cameras could do a RAW output they would blow the mk3 out of the water.

So Dual ISO works fine on my 5d mk3 but if both features are on and I take a silent picture then it takes a normal picture. Is this a bug?
Is it not possible to implement them together i.e. silent picture bypasses camera circuitry which allows Dual ISO?

But then Dual ISO works with RAW video. Which I have always assumed is an extension of silent picture. So I took a silent picture in movie mode and it worked. However when i processed them with cr2hdr it still had horizontal lines which i could see at 100%. cr2hdr worked properly there was no doubt about that. The before and after pic were different. I should add that I used the mac gui version 1.6. For it I had to rename the DNG file created by silent picture into a CR2.

So no Dual ISO + silent pic in pic mode and unusable Dual ISO + silent pic in movie mode? Is this the current status or am I doing something wrong? I am on the Oct 22 nightly.

Just to say I don't want to come across as a complaining type. Just asking. I have been using ML ever since I bought my 550d almost 3 years ago and recently bought the 5dmk3 instead of BMCC because of ML. Thanks a lot for the superb work. You guys are the reason I am buying canon, not canon. Keep up the great work.
