I have 1.1.3 in my Dropbox. Try this link:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ci4u4y2gnd43t4u/FK0WDvrlfR

Downloading it now. Thank you!

Does anyone know when 1.2.1 will be supported? If not, does anyone have 1.1.3? Can anyone post a link to 1.1.3 or post it online? Thanks.

Please, help!

Today I installed the firmware on my 5D Mark III, it works.

But I can't understand:

After turning off and on again, firmware disappeared, and I have to install it again.
Is it right, or I made something wrong?

Thanks.

Yes, that's right. You have to load it up when you want to use Magic Lantern.

Just sent to Atomos......

Hmm.. I am not sure if there is much Atomos can do about 60i input from 5D Mark III. This is something Canon should address with their firmware update.

Maybe I am wrong. I just saw the spec of Ninja 2 and it is stated to accept below input frame rates.

1080i60,1080i59.94,1080i50,1080p30,1080p25,1080p24,1080p23.98,1080p30(60i),1080p25(50i),1080p24(60i),1080p23.98(60i)
720p60,720p59.94,720p50,480i,576i

I got confirmation that my ninja 2 arrives this Friday by the end of day.

With respect to any comparisons we should look at Ill be happy to shoot some test shots.

For me any solution that improves the finished product is worth it as I shoot stills and video and I would rather have a quick transfer time to my edit suite and be able to shoot stills with the same camera. A lot to ask I know but I believe we have a great chance of getting there with the talent working on this project.

I would be interested in knowing the frame rate of HDMI (60i? 30p in 60i wrapper? etc.) and what is the size of actual image when crop it to remove borders. Also if you could make a short comparison clip downloadable, that would be appreciated.

Would you please post a reliable reference and stop talking nonsense?

It was reported (according to Philip Bloom) to be 800 lines not 700 lines, but Philip, himself, may have been given inaccurate info. I revised my post to reflect this.

Yes, I am stopping it right now.

Am I crazy to speculate that the reason 5D MK III has pillar boxes around HDMI output is because that is what the sensor actually resolves. We all guessed 1080 mode resolves around 800 lines and of course, Canon will never admit to this. Maybe, just MAYBE, this clean HDMI firmware HAS TO include the sensor resolving more lines in order to output 1080 image.

Back to Alpha 2. Gradual ISO works great. With MK III's silent mode, it's quiet and smooth!

Right! i hope! also i agree 1% that eoshd.com is a lil harsh against canon at times. they seem a lil jaded. But they do dig up some interesting stuff. a1ex is also right. canon does listen. but they do so just a lil at a time. its like sd cards. they need to make as much money off them as possible other wise we would see 2tb sd cards on the market for the price of 16 giggers. in the same token panasonic seems to listen more i guess. gh3 with 1080 60p or gopro hero 3 with 2k? the market is so crazy right now. And dont say "then buy a gh3" I like the look of the 5d3 and the low light abilities are a force to be reckoned with. But why have all that then top it off with poo rez. there must be a way to better sample the image. look at its s2 jpeg. tack sharp! true 1000 lines makes a hudge difference not only in natural sharpness but it grades way better too! if there is noise its much finer as well. Im not asking for 4444 sony f35 65 raw intense 3D core what ever just a naturally sharp images. And please why say 90mbs if more then half the time it sits at like 30 or so. It should have been ibp codec for (consumers or realy long shoots) and then a pro codec outside of h.264 but inside its processing power. oh boy another rant of mine. Im gunna get kicked out of here huh.   Again none of this i expect from ML. They have done plenty in my opinion.

I agree 100% about the resolution. I also would rather have better resolution than HDMI. I am not sure if resolution can be changed through a firmware update, but hopefully, I mean, HOPEFULLY, that is a part of improvement that will come after 6 months.

Thank you exactly!  And the gh2 resolves great as is! ugggg please canon! canon u imagine ML plus 5d3 plus 1000 lines---> joy overload! haha

Maybe that's what Canon is working on. I hope we are not waiting 6 months for just removing overlays and pillar boxes. One can hope, right?

What is the frame rate out of HDMI? Is it true 60i?

Gradual ISO is only manual - it actually turns off when you enable auto ISO.

Ahh.. my mistake. I thought this gradual ISO was to enhance and smooth out even in auto iso mode.
I will test this feature again in manual ISO with silent control on. Thanks.

What's the point for limiting the gradual ISO limits? (since it's manual...)

Having this gradual ISO and ISO limit work together will enable the usage of auto ISO when necessary.

There are times I have to go in and out of a place. When I do, not only I have to attach/detach a variable ND filter, but also I have to adjust ISO quite often. Point is, if gradual ISO works with hard limit I set (100-6400), then I can set it to Auto ISO, turn gradual ISO turned on, and I am pretty much free to go in and out.

I think it would be great if possible.

BTW, with peaking, magic zoom, and zebra, I have no need for an evf! Thank you!

Alex,

Is there any way to set iso limit with gradual iso turned on? If no, would it be possible in the future version?

Just tried HDR in 720P 60fps. Worked great.  I am sure it was discussed before, but it makes you really hope fore 1080p 48fps. Not sure how doable that is though. I will try HDR in 1080P 30fps and conform it to 24fps with twixtor.

Gradual iso worked great also. It was very smooth. Only issue I had with it was it didn't seem to matter that I had set iso limit to 6400. Still I can this feature will become your friend if you are a docu/event shooter.

Thank you, Alex, so much for your work!

Nice. I'll try to prepare the alpha 2 next week.

HDMI is causing trouble - anyone needs 720p? I hope not.

a1ex says "HDMI is causing TROUBLE" and I think "he must be looking at clean HDMI out, YYYYEEEESSSSS!!!!"
Ha ha ha, does anyone else get excited whenever a1ex says the word "HDMI"?

- Clean HDMI out with pillarboxes

What would be the resolution of actual image?
