This might be the first web-series to use it.

Thank you.
one more detail, only getting noise (at least noticing noise) at 1250 ISO+

General Help Q&A / Re: 5dmk2 RAW dead/hot pixels

« on: May 24, 2013, 04:29:48 AM »

Camera Raw has a more or less successfull automatic built in detection of dead pixels, I believe it stores a memory of these somewhere, based on x number of exposures developed with y camera serial number with the flaw in it. But with no EXIF data to work with in the DNGs from Raw video, it can't really store or retreive the data.

Can this exif data be applied in post?

General Help Q&A / 5dmk2 RAW dead/hot pixels

« on: May 23, 2013, 12:49:30 PM »

At 1250 ISO and higher, a significant number of colorful fixed pixels show up - they do not show up in h.264 (likely due to compression?)
Is there a easy way to fix this in post? What about pixel remapping?

Or is the sensor on it's way out?   - note these hot pixels do NOT show up when shooting to CR2 stills.

Hardware and Accessories / Re: Supported 1000x CF cards for continuous RAW recording

« on: May 21, 2013, 01:34:05 AM »

A lot of CF cards have been tested already: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5471.msg37692#msg37692

As you can see in A1ex graph (which is not up to date), the Delkin cards habitually underperform.  In my testing, I have found the Delkin 1000x to be >40MB/s slower than Lexar 1000x and >20MB/s slower than SanDisk Extreme Pro CF cards.

great link, exactly what I was looking for. thank you!

It's $640 at B&H. Seems to be the same speed as the Lexar, probably just rebadged. There's been mention of 64Gb cards being faster than 128Gb cards.

What they print, and what their actual speed is are not always the same.

reason I'm leaning toward delkin - they come from a cinema lineage, meaning their write speeds may not be marked up as they expect to be used for video.

Has anyone had experiance with the delkin cinema line?

only CF card that claims a speed of...
1050x
the 128gig version seems perfect for this kind of work, just wondering if anyone's used it before I jump onto the $700 price tag.

Did you do your benchmark test with live view on?
The transcends are not high on the reliability list that some have posted.

Anyone else having trouble getting the modules running on the may 20th nightly?

Hey, i just put in the new nightly(20th), but the modules screen isn't on it... I reverted back to the last nightly (19th) and it no longer loads...
I am confused.

The modules folder with raw_rec.mo and magic.sym is there...

52mk2.

Hardware and Accessories / Re: CF-to-SATA hardware interface for RAW recording (fork)

« on: May 19, 2013, 08:48:09 AM »

Hmm..I tried to make a adapter but it was much trickier than I imagined. I butchered CF card and de-soldered the contactor but line pitch is so small it's impossible to do it even with SMD soldering iron. I guess some sort of Host Interface Board is a must I have to check how much Sycard one costs.

I also thought a bit further about this, I bet you could eliminate SATA-PATA translation all together if you let camera talk to native PATA drive, formated as FAT32.

sorry to hear, but is that's all that's needed, a ssd drive and a sycard? just the hardware hack?


If that pans out... AWESOME!!!!!!!

While I can't donate anything, I wish you the best of luck and cheer you on, good sir!

LoL, don't mean to bug.

I've also tried to remove the 4GB check, but I've got files without footer (which can't be converted). So it stays there until we have a better solution.

any update on fixing the 4 gig limit?
at 1880 x 1080 we don't even have a minute of record time.
