Mr. Schulz, my interest is only with the 7D as it's the only camera I own and I sincerely appreciate your help with my questions in the past.  My question might not have been stated clearly,  I was wanting to know how wide angle lenses perform in crop mode (3x) on the 7D, and how to estimate the equivalent lens size.   Thanks. 

If I use an 8mm lens and shoot video in crop mode (3x) what is the equivalent lens size ?   Is it 24mm?   38mm?  Does anyone have experience with the Rokinon, Bower, Sayang, 8mm lens they would like to share?  Thanks. 

OK.  I've done that before but you loose sound.  I was hoping to have both.  It's essential that you import video into editor (I use Sony Vegas) at the exact fps setting you choose to override to keep audio and video synced. I learned that the hard way.    Thanks Walter. 

ML nightly June 9,2015.  In MLV record in regular mode the movie menu, raw video(mlv) shows the resolution and below it show write speed needed at 23.976fps.  Which is the fps I want to shoot in.  But when I move into crop mode it shows additional resolution setting but only at 29.951fps.  Does that mean in crop mode you can only shoot at 29.951 fps?  I'm sure this is covered elsewhere but couldn't find.  Thanks. 

With the latest changes that a1ex made to get a mem_suite from SRM, you can actually use SRM the same way both raw_rec and mlv_rec allocate memory using mem_suite. Basically you just need call srm_malloc_suite(0) to get a mem_suite for SRM, and then you can use it the same way as shoot_malloc_suite(0); This is how I did it for mlv_rec it should be basically the same for raw_rec.

I don't understand much of what your saying but, What I think I'm hearing is these latest changes should also benefit video shot in raw_rec which I use primarily and record sound externally.  That would be great news since a few more seconds could make a world of difference. 

Alex,  Thanks for all the recent work on the 7d.  It's really added a lot to my old camera.   

Hi, I am new to the forum. I am a 600D user. I want to upgrade to 7D only for ML RAW. Since 5D Mark iii is too expensive I have the only choice of 7D. Can anyone say at what maximum resolution 7D can shoot continuous RAW with a LEXAR 1000X CF?

I would start at 1920x872 in crop mode.  In standard mode I was shooting at 1600x900 with similar card with no problems.  You might get a step better than that.   

I see..... I can shoot at 1920x872 30fps continuous and it looks great.  Would just rather save the frames and shoot at 24fps.  I'll try to get some video posted soon.  I'm converting using raw2dng opening in  Lightroom Making adjustment as needed and than exporting to tiff's and pulling into Vegas.  I'm than using Magic Lantern to color grade.    Any suggestions?   

Ted,  On your website you say that it's possible to record at 3X Crop mode
up to 2048 x 930 at 23.976fps.  Your video "Textures of Winter" which is superb was recorded in that format as well.    I don't have that option, I can only record at 29.99 fps.  I'm using the June 1 nightly on my new Lexar 32gb 1066x card.  What am I missing?   

Testing Mar 18 Nightly.

At 1728x 972 I notice the image would tear when there is HDMI monitor attached. With no HDMI attached the image is ok.

Link to a sample frame with tearing.

Have these issues been resolved?   

Thank you Ted.

Thanks for this forum and for all the outstanding work done by the Magic Lantern crew.   I've been considering buying a monitor to help me see well enough to pull a good focus.   I would like to make sure that when recording raw video the hdmi output is functional with the 7D?  I'm sure it's been discussed but I can't sort it out enough to be sure so I apologize in advance.   ST

I just downloaded the latest Nightly Build and it worked for me.  No additional software needed.  Have been recording raw @ 1600x900 with global draw off and have been doing great.  I've ordered a faster card and hope I can do even better.  I'm working on PC but don't know why that would make a difference.
