1%, is there a way to activate continuous lens stabilisation in Photo mode too ?

When u are in video mode, lens stab is running all the time.
Perhaps there's a Canon command for that ?

Yep... although for raw or anything long I think its best to be plugged in.

Made me wonder something. Would the wifi in Canon6D have a "power saving" mode...
Acting at different speeds/power... like on notebooks if powered or batt. or plugged in....

Will try this afternoon. More power.... more speed... perhaps.

Wifi performance from the one guy who tried is really bad. Also wifi eats like half the memory.

And kills your battery time 2 or 3x faster....

is it harder to add this shortcut on the 6D ? because it's really helpful

+1 , it will be very usefull when headset output will work on 6D !

5D Mark III (think 6D too) is definatly kicking GH2's ass ...

OK to have a lock and an unlock feature for resolutions.

You must think to people with slower cards too... perhaps a 1600x600 won't work for them but a 1600x580 or 540 would work so....
unlockable resolutions would be cool.

It is a bit limiting ... and 2.35 is freezing @1320. I just pulled the latest and greatest to test it out. Only benefit is having a known aspect ratio when resizing.

We knew it already when setting width and height before, it was live calculated in the footer...
I preefer the old way definatly. At list while ML is beta on 6D

Here is my test 1600x600 http://youtu.be/7HfXJ-20FrU

Awesome ! Which lens did you use ?

Aspect ratio....

Good idea but i think it's too early to limit resolution to "usual" aspect ratios.
For now, we rather need freedom to test every update in as many resolutions possible.

No ?

Default card format:

If formating card inside the 6D,
16/32/64GB will be formated FAT32
128 GB and more will be formated exFAT

Weird: some lower res seems to have higher birates

Higher resolutions display lower rates MB/s but frame skips

1600x600 => 0 skipped frames => upscaled 1.2X = 1920x720 24p...... waooo

I don't know what you did, but it's the good path !

Displayed speeds: from 38 to 38.9MB/s

should have gone with 5dm3 for camera A. Moire is so bad on wide angle that I never use it. I use 6d as camera B and only 35mm and up. Speaking of moire, I read an article http://www.eoshd.com/content/10450/2-5k-cinemascope-anamorphic-raw-on-the-5d-mark-iii where this guy is saying that there is no moire with raw cause it scans all 1080 lines and it is not skipping anything.  He was talking about 5d but if that was the case then in theory 6d would also have no issues. Is he right about 1080 TV lines I wonder or am I mixing things up cause I still have bad moire...

I tried a few records at 1504x600 on the 6D and i can say moiré is there. So is aliasing... You can shoot even in HD, they probably still stand... Lines skipping side effect...

The adapter is worth a try but not sure if USB hdds work on that port or if there is host mode... I guess you'd have to power the HDD externally and try it. Its only like $2

Just baught one. Will try to plug an USB key at first. If it would work... I should see something with no card in the SD slot
If not working, will mail it to you... perhaps you will get something of it.

Tethered wifi N using EOS utility.
Liveview is 10-15 fps i think.
When shooting a burst of 5 jpeg S2 (2.5MB each), transfering is rather SLOW...

Transfering a single RAW (22.2MB) => 11 seconds

Wifi will be a hard option. Imagine, while testing RAW video, i m pleased to have 2 batteries cause LV consumes a lot of power,
add wifi function to that... even the grip + 2 batts will be... for real short shooting !

The real good surprise would be that the USB port in the 6D also acts as USB Host.... who knows ?
1%, you think testing this would be riscky for my 6D ?

(to plug a usb key for example)

I'm going to try a simple thing, got a Wifi dongle on a PC, will try to transfer from the 6D, to check the speed.

And the car battery to power it up in ur backpack !

Noisyboy, soldering something to the cable i talked earlier was neer a joke.

The cable itself would help but we first need a female S-ata device which can deal btw a S-ata on 1 side and SDcard on the other side... It's not simple... Perhaps a external hardrive with a SDcard slot like a card ripper but i remember my last one, tried with a SSD in it.... damned slow !

It's because of his design. Mainly, the card reader part in built like a USB reader and interfaced to the S-ATA disk...
I never saw another kind of design.

Perhaps the need of more memory will leads ML to disable any photo features in C2m mode (for example)...
I mean, while recording video in C2m ... noone needs photo ability. Can we disable photo features ONLY in C2m... that's the question.

About SD to S-ata adaptator...

Faster perhaps not in burst but perhaps a SSD would have write access times lower than SD cards... who knows.
And price for a 256GB SSD is lower thant fast 256GB  SD card !

I'm not for this solution.... made of wires out of the cam and scotch/taped.... burk !
I know 1% wants to explore the grip way, much better solution IF the usb wirering inside is fast enough.

Even if we had the same speed of actual SD slot.... would add another SD card slot in the grip for example and guess what ?
Canon 6D + 2 SD card slots..... i'm pretty sure ML would figure out how to write on both so we would have 2x35MB/s !
After, 1st frame on internal SD card, second frame on grip SD card.... and so on.... audio....

Why not ?

Wouldn't be surprised that "gigabit lan" interface in the WFT-E7 Wireless File Transmitter is wired with a kind of USB to LAN
interface.... Would be a bad news....

Another way:

Use that kind of adapter and solder a S-ata port at the end !

Do you know if the DNGs contain a jpeg preview ?
Without preview, files are 5-8% smaller...
Could gain some write speed.

I tried dozens of combinations disabling Canon features and enabling no ML features but RAW_rec....
ExFAT vs FAT32
Gain = 0 frames or so few

I know Sandisk Extreme Pro can handles up to 80MB/s

It seems that all is in your hands 1%.... (!)
Too bad we can't help more.
Will continue to test and report every update !

4th buffer still an issue imo.

Any possibily we could choose buffers size in debug menu ?
So we could test 25/26/27/28/29/30 all sizes ?
If we get a given size of free memory (ex 100MB),
we set 25MB, would use 4 buffers
we set 20MB, would use 5 buffers
and so on...

Perhaps even buffers numbers so we could test every combination.

Hard/long to add or you already tested all possibilities ?
5/6 persons testing all buffers combinations.... we would definatly clear this question.
And verify card speed dependance. Perhaps some buffer size works better with faster cards, some other better with slower cards.
