Camera-specific Development / Re: Canon EOS M
November 21, 2018, 12:21:08 PM
Hello everyone!

I'm not sure how all this is going to fair up at the end but I thought I'd come here for a specific advise regarding my upcoming trip and other user's proven workflow, I'd looked and watched YouTube videos but I'm not sure if what I'm thinking is even possible...

Here is my current situation, I've accepted a self inflicted challenge (via our local filmmaking hub) to go into a unfamiliar place destination and record a 7 day blog using whatever equipment available.

2 weeks from now I will be in Sapporo Japan to visit a friend!

I only have these available for me to use.

1. Old IPhone 8
2. iPad Pro lots of memory (lumafusion and other video editing app installed)
3. Bought a Second hand Canon EOS M with lens etc... (all I can afford at the moment) with ML soon to be installed into a card.
4. Rode field shotgun mic.
5. Still to purchase memory card and reader.

I know that I will be shooting a few night scenes the reason why I bought the Canon EOS M better sensor so according to my research...my iPhone 8 light sensor is just not up to the task of low light scenes.

My question to the community is this.

I am not really set up for raw recording workflow, from my research (YouTube) most of the people are all using LM to shoot RAW and would either have to go into a specific Mac desktop / laptop workflow to get a useable friendly format for editing, for this coming trip I don't have the time nor the set up, in addition to time constraints I would have to deliver some rough cuts in a day.

1. So with this in mind, I read somewhere here that I could disable the RAW recording in ML video and activate 3 x zoom, would this enable H264 codec? Just like recording in the native camera.

2. Would this then show up as an MP4 file format upon import on my iPad Pro via a card reader?

3. Is there another way that I can utilised all the controls ML provides without recording in RAW.

Lastly, so with ML running on the card, will it be advisable to install on a few memory cards? If take the memory card out of the camera and insert a new initialised card without ML installed, will my Canon EOS M defaults to the original firmware I gather? Sorry it's now late at night and my brain is turning into mush.

I apologised in advance if this is way basic questions for the community, I'm new to all this and due to the lack of time I have left, I'm trying to soak this all in.

Basically what I'm trying to achieve while I'm away is to be able to produce a 1-2 minutes Vblog using the equipment and App I have on my disposal. Maybe using my iPhone for day outside shots and use my Canon EOS M for less lighting situations.

If you get to read this far, I thank you in advance and in good groovy karma points! Hopefully I'd learn enough to do the same for someone in the future.

Cheers!
