General Help Q&A / CF Card Issue 50D
July 05, 2014, 03:40:30 PM
Hey,

I had my KomputerBay 32gb card that I used to play around with RAW video on the 50D. Worked like a charm, no problems at all. Now a week ago I used this card in a 5D Mark 2, with no problems there either, I took some photo's loaded it on my computer using a card reader. Everything went smooth until I wanted to use the CF card back on my 50D. The camera couldn't read the card and couldn't format it... So I putted the CF card in my card reader, to format the card with the computer. No problems there, but the 50D still can't read the CF card, and ask's me to format the card in the camera, even thou it can't format it there.

So after some research I discovered that:
Both camera's run a different OS, so the proper way to use the card back in my 50D is to reformat the card in a 5D mark II. The problem is that I don't have the 5D any more so that's a no go :/

My question is of there is some kind of utility that kind of resets your card to standard factory settings, or an utility that rebuilds the card back in to a standard file structure?

Thanks in advance!

If you are working the color correction in After Effects, the Color Finesse correction tool has a highlight recovery slider very nice indeed  8)
Ah yes, totally forgot about that one! thanks :-)

Posted a 5 minute video featuring the 50D and the BMPCC. It's not your typical camera comparison video... It's more of a get to know your camera for what it's worth type video. I hope it helps you look further into the power of the camera. Here is the link to the video.

Nice video!

I totally agree with you, 50D produces a very cinematic image. I always will prefer a camera that produces a better image, even with it's issues that the 50D is having.

Give it some time SebaVuye. You're working with a great camera. Yes, there are some overheating issues that tend to cause issues when writing files... I would agree that the framing may have been off with cinemascopes put in place... Another issue is if you view the LCD screen in a ML Hacked Mode... There can be a slow refresh rate issue too. But, again, it really is a great tool. Maybe a little finicky from time to time, but this camera is well worth the time. It will certainly capture some timeless moments. Enjoy and keep shooting. P.S. Watching your video now.

Yep, I love the camera, not complaining at all :).

I recreated a scene from Memento, shooting 50D raw. The first time I shot on the 50D 'project based'. I shot mostly some test footage, but always just some shots without any kind of precise framing etc.

Great effort SebaVuye.
But I would notice some points: I don't understand why, even using RAw, you have some overexposed areas, making the whole thing look digital.
Notice the bed on the right while the telephone is ringing, or the hand on the left while watching the photo.
Also the head in the first shots has a light problem, making it look a bit flat and not enough dramatic.
Last, but not about the quality of filming, is that original actor gives much more tension.
Anyway, an excellent exercise!

Thanks

All true. The overexposed area's are the result of ACR and this flickering issue when adjusting Highlights and Shadows sliders :/ I left those two options untouched in ACR because every adjustment resulted in flickering of my image.

Merry Christmas!

When we were shooting the camera crashed 3 times (mostly at the end after 8 hours of shooting). The framing of the shot was confusing at times. When loading the footage on my laptop, the framing was a little off. I saw objects in frame on the laptop screen that I didn't see on the lcd. When I disabled the cinemascope cropmarks, the framing seemed fixed. I think? Reviewing your footage also a pain. Post production is long and tiresome but the images the camera produces are great so it's worth it. Personally I just can't deal with that much of uncertainty when shooting, but I wont go back to h264 crap either.

You do realize that having GD on while trying to record 2000x1000 (or do you mean 1080?) is really pushing raw rec to the limit...literally!?  ???

Disable GD when recording using the setting in the raw module and format your card regularly.

Yeah, makes sense Andy :p, I will disable it next time.

Thanks!

@SebaVuye - mlv or raw?

I get occasional corrupt frames from using mlv_rec on my slower 600x card but non with raw_rec. My 1000x card never has corrupt frames.

Corrupt frames are usually card related. What card are you using?

raw_rec, I have a Komputerbay 32GB 1000x, I used raw with an older build(not tragic lantern) and never had this issue. I filmed in crop mode in 2000x1000 with global draw on. Other modules enabled are: ettr, file_man,dual_iso.

Thanks

2000x1000 with 24fps. 2000x1080 should net more than 250 frames tho.

Thanks!

Is 2000x1080 continuous in crop? Seems like i can only get 250 frames out of it?  I have a Komputerbay 1000x...

It's impossible. I know it's hard to find answers in such big topic, but that was explained: the RAW image is from the LiveView image, which uses only one line of pixels at each three lines. So, 4752/3 is 1584.

Ah damn. Thanks for the help.

In tragic lantern there is a ML preview which is a low fps black and white live view hack which shows the exact framing, it has some limitations but it works. You can't record 1080 outside of cropmode.

Ah thanks! Didn't know that. Is 1080p recording in no crop something realistic to archive or more like something impossible? :p

Hey new to the forums, but not to magic lantern :)

Just want to tell you people how awesome you are. Big love for magic lantern.

I have a question to acctually,

How come you can't record in 1080p without crop? Because of the cf card speeds or camera write limitations? Shooting in crop is a hell for framing :p

And can you playback your recorded raw footage? Seems like I can't find that option?

thanks!
