@Arrinkiiii being honest my economic problems are so huge that I could never watch to better dslr or black magic. I'll really keep my fingers crossed!

Hi arrinkiiii nice to hear someone is deeply testing it. I really hope will be possible to fix all the bugs!

guys is there some chance for MLV dual ISO on 7D? I saw some examples about 5DMIII recovering shadows single iso vs. dual iso and the creativity possibilities with the second one are outstanding. if I remember correctly dual iso requires a lot of bandwidth MLV 10 and 12 bit could help?

@Deadcode this is very interesting for me. For "important parts " do you mean for example that if I have a subject (an actor)  and a some sky in the background it doesn't matter if the sky start to overexpose, I must continue to over expose until the main subject (the actor) start to over expose?
This reminds me what I have read in the Roger Deakins (DOP) forum and I remember few years ago someone asked him if there were little overexposed spots inside the images in his works (or a similar question) and he answered that it does not matter if there were some little overexposed part (or a similar answer).

Sorry for my bad english.... I mean is cool to be elastic on this and maybe we cant shoot everithing in HDR.

@flofifull which software did you used to transcode mlv 10 bit into dng to pc? thx a lot

@DeafEyeJedi thank you very much for your video.
when you shoor raw video and you are using the external monitor do you get tearing on your footage? because the link that @alex has posted  (https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13817.msg173472#msg173472) seems to suggest this problem, that if we use an external monitor with raw video on 7d could cause footage ruined by tearing. the solution seems be to force the low resolution for hdmi output. do you need to use this technique? thx!

hi guys! what happens if I connect  my 7D to external monitor via hdmi mini whyle using magic lantern? will it works? I wish too see my liveview on a biggest screen because I need help to focus. I hope that if connecting 7D to an external monitor I will be able to see magic lantern global draw features (such as focus peaking) on the second display. let me know please!

thx Paul! today I did a test, trying to recover some shadows in color correction, I used neat video to fight the noise it worked damn well (add just 30% of noise reduction)! so much thanks I'm really gratefull for your advices! I feel so much better now!

I bought a vaf filter for canon 7D to fix aliasing probelms on this camera for raw shooting, and now I'm waiting mosaic will ship it to me. the problem is that now I'm full of fear that I did a wrong buy because I did some tests with canon 7D raw and it seems that if start to do color correction there is a lot of noise rising up the blacks and exposure.
basically my fear is that dooing color correction and changing values as blacks, gamma, exposure, will be useless. so I wish to understand considering my camera seems to suffer a lot of noise if shooting in raw will anyway be a good idea.
being honest my economic problems are so huge that I could never watch to better dslr or black magic. so I bought a used 7D and now after a lot of time I added the vaf filter. I had a fast 128gb compact flash for my birthday and after some day I bought the anti aliasing filter. before my birthday I only had one 16gb compact flash I say this only to explain that I basically invested all I had in this project.
I wish to study raw video because I hope one day I will be able to work doing this. My fear is that I did it all wrong.
I hope you can reassure a little bit please.

If for example I use mlvproducer to export into cinema dng is it important to setup a particular color space for export? Then I will add cinelog only in premiere or davinci resolve.
may you try please?
thx

what about this one? (this is free)

Hi AWPStar your work is very interesting. I'm experimenting the reduce false color filter in my workflow, may be possible to add the reduce false color filter to cinema dng please?

Hope for the 7D version too please!

I did it, found a solution in this topic.

http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17774.0

the problem is that live view in not truly 5x. it's abut 8x.... I mean is a huge crop factor.

edit. maybe found a solution. I'll do some test! 

edit.  didn't works

hello friends, I wish to shoot a short movie in crop mode with my 7D but there is a problem. I wish to shoot with ml preview and global draw off. while the image displayed on the screen is 5x the record is not taken at 5x: I can record at 1600x900 wich is at 5.24x or at 1920x1080 that is at 4.37x.

I wish to select a resolution that is exactly the same (or closest as possible) of the wide that the Canon display show when is at 5x: is it possible to select a custom resolution that may match it?

thx a lot

edit

Higher ISOs have less banding noise, but you sacrifice highlights by using higher ISOs.  As with everything, it's a trade off.

If you're going to shoot at 1/24th or 1/48 or whatever @ ISO 800 in daylight, you're going to need a ND filter.

Audionut thx a lot for your help!

how should it be the ND Filter please? I never bought one before and I do not know what should I search for.

may you give me some advice also to shoot in low light conditions please?

thx a lot again!

I wish so much to try avoid vertical banding using this technique. The problem is that I really didn't understand how it works.

I'm good to load the module I wish to know so much how to setup correctly please.

I have found this post from another topic,

The 7D is one of the cameras, that really benefits from ETTR.

You can try shooting at ISO 800 for reduced banding noise, but you'll probably need an ND filter for most movie recording.

@Audionut if you walk around here it would be really great if you can explain a little bit of this technique please.





thx a lot!

hi guys, I'm searching for this feature called gradual expo

http://nofilmschool.com/2012/10/magic-lantern-alpha-2-canon-5d-mark-iii


is it avaiable on 7D?

thx

No. It's impossible for software to overcome hardware limitations.

Trying to actually do anything useful with linux would actually be a lot harder. Just getting to the point where you could take a picture would be a monumental feat that would probably take years of dedicated work. The linux work may actually provide some useful information about the camera that could eventually help us do certain things in normal ML. But I highly doubt there will ever be any practical use of actually running linux on the camera.

ok you explained very well, thx a lot!

is it possible that after the porting of linux on the DSLR canon you could implement new features such as recording 12 bit (pro res or other codecs), 1080p 60fps and awesome stuff like that?

thx!

I didn't understand how that screw was the cause of the error 20. and how did you fixed it?

can you explain better please?


thx

If I'm not wrong when we shoot h.264 it's basically raw video convert to h264 in real time, and compressed to h264. similar to what happens when we shoot a photo in jpeg, it's raw converted to jpeg. when the conversion is done there is no turning back.
One of the benefits of shooting raw is that we can control blacks, shadows, highlights and whites in post-production.
is it possible to set those parameters before taking the video in h.264?
I mean for example before pressing the "rec button" watching the picture in live view, then changing those parameters, then in the end shooting pressing the rec button. Some kind of "pre-processing instead that "post-processing".
thx a lot!

which affordable lenses to choose for shooting raw video in crop mode with 7D?
I'm searching for a 35 or 80mm full frame equivalent lens.
I'm also open to DIY solutions. Thanks a lot!

p.s.

I wish to understand better, if I buy 8mm full frame lens and I shoot raw video in crop mode on the 7D do I obtain 8mm x 3 x 1.6 = 38mm equivalent on a FF sensor?
I was searching for any aps-c "samyang 8mm raw video crop mode" and I couldn't find anything, can you help me to find one example please?  I wish to understand if the image will result distort.

thx!

thanks Walter. I discovered there is another one at 130MB/s.
they speak about magic lantern: "The Gobe 130MB/s CF films continuously in RAW on 24fps 1920x1080 when using Magic Lantern"
https://mygobe.com/gobe-128gb-compact-flash-130mb-s-udma7-cf-card.html
did you heard before about this CF? someone did some test?
thx
