General Help Q&A / 50d Live View Aspect Ratio During Record

« on: August 09, 2016, 08:24:25 AM »

display --- Advanced settings--- Screen Layout 


I heard you should turn off Global Draw, but if i do that soon as i hit record in mlv raw my lv screen jumps into almost a 4/3 aspect ratio. i consider that useless since i shoot 1.85.

So, must i have global draw on then? no other option?

General Help Q&A / 50d canon original batttery life

« on: August 09, 2016, 02:59:25 AM »

I`m in the process of making a custom 12,000mah battery pack for the 50d since my 50d came with imitation canon batteries which last for about 3 min of recording before dying.  I was wondering those that have original 50d batteries, how much recording time do you get more or less on a full charge in raw non crop.

General Help Q&A / Dual Iso on 50d

« on: June 29, 2016, 06:10:04 PM »

My 50d has lowest iso of 200. i set dual iso range 100/800 since i don't want higher than 800 grain etc. the difference between 100 and 800 is 3 stops. Is it possible to do this with my camera or 200/800 is as good as it gets?

here is the termal pad being added to the sony a6000

here is the pad: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-100mmx100mmx1mm-GPU-CPU-Heatsink-Cooling-Thermal-Conductive-Silicone-Pad-/281523853145?hash=item418c211759:g:BI4AAOxyaURTjX~o
teardown of the canon 50d 

seems pretty simple. looks like i need a soldering gun to remove the metal plate. Anyone else done this mod?
i assume the plastic transparency on the pad needs to be removed on both sides?

General Help Q&A / Iso settings

« on: June 09, 2016, 08:29:29 PM »

I noticed there are 4 options to control iso. is there an explanation as to ideal combination somewhere? also i hear multiples of 160 is better but my 50d can't natively do this. with ml i can. does this mean if i see actual iso 160 or 320 that its going to be less noisy even though my canon only does 200, 400, 800 etc?

Raw Video / mv1080crop canon 50d raw

« on: June 01, 2016, 08:17:48 PM »

I don't have this module installed and just read about it as a possible solution but i know nothing about it.
I understand to record raw crop mode I must hit the zoom button. However once i hit record the preview becomes more like 10x crop  instead of the expected 4x crop based on ff sensor. The image is also very dull instead of just gray. aspect ratio is also changed.

General Help Q&A / Trap Focus with Pentax Manual Vintage Lenses

« on: February 04, 2016, 06:34:49 PM »

I shoot weddings with long lenses and need to get razer focus down the aisle at varios moments. I heard about this trap focus and wanted to investigate. Can I use pentax k lenses with the canon 50d? I assume i must have an adapter that has a chip? My plan was to set the focus 6 feet infront of the bride then let ML detect the focus and rapid fire a few shots?(is that possible or is it just 1 shot?) 
Then i want to repeat the process, focus another 6 feet infront and wait for trap focus to fire the photos. Basically i want to have several of these during the 70 feet or so walk of the bride, groom etc.. Will this work? Is it just one shot or can it be multiples?

Raw Video / 7d 2k continuous 2.67 aspect ratio

« on: November 05, 2015, 07:44:44 PM »

According to this: http://rbrune.github.io/mlraw/
at 79MB/s i can record 2176 x 906 resolution at 2.67:1 aspect ratio.
79MB/s is below the 80MB/s limit of the 7d so, does that mean i should be getting continuous recording?

and according to this:  http://www.slashcam.de/tools/ml-raw-calc.html
2048 x  871 its 71MB/s. Can that be continous ?
