Raw Video / how to shoot Dual ISO RAW

« on: March 03, 2015, 04:22:16 AM »

I have a 50D with latest nightly build of ML. Want to try out Dual ISO RAW video, but when I enable the option in Expo settings it says [MOVIE] This feature requires you shooting RAW.

I have live view enabled, movie mode on, MLV module enabled.

General Help Q&A / CF card reads with 50D but not with Mac Pro

« on: December 22, 2014, 11:58:06 PM »

I have an urgent problem with a CF card of mine, any help would be deeply appreciated.

Camera Make/model: Canon 50D v1.09 (latest)
Card: Komputerbay 32GB 1000x card
Computer Operating system:  OSX 10.9.4
Mac Pro serial number: G8840ZKX5J4
File system being used on camera: FAT32, formatted in camera
Card reader details: Sandisk ImageMate all in one usb 3.0 Card reader, supports UDMA7.
Port used on computer: USB2.0
Serial number from the bottom of the card: FR1306KXM32G TW

The card was used for raw video with the latest magic lantern nightly build and the card runs and preforms 100% in the camera. However when I try it on a computer through a brand new usb3 UDMA7 card reader it doesn't show up anywhere - including disk utility.

Until recently I have used the card with cheap Chinese card readers. I have two no-brand ones which used to work, a Hama usb2 one I bought recently, and since it didn't work, I bought an expensive Sandisk reader with a NEC chipset.
The card still works fine in the camera, I can take pictures and transfer them to the computer when I connect the camera with USB. But the card doesn't show up at all when using any card reader. I have also tried in Windows 7 and 8 - with the same result. The card has been formatted several times in camera - magic lantern has been removed on the last format.

Could it be that I damaged my card with the cheap card readers? Has anyone experienced this? Any tips, is there a way to revive the card, or i should just get a new one?

Will this work for the 50D? Is there a module I can install to try it out?

I cant get why people think that BMPCC is better than 50d.
1. APS-C sensor is way too bigger than the Super 16 one.
2. you cant get that film look effect on BMPCC, users say that it shoots iPhone like video.
3. you can get crop factor similar to BMPCC on 50D in 2.475x crop mode.
4. you can get canon for 300-400$ when BMPCC costs 1000$. (300-400$ + 295$(VAF) = 595-695$ + you get pretty good camera for stills as well)
5. 50d can run ML software, that means you have tons of addons on your camera to make your work easier.

While I would buy a Canon over the BMPCC anytime, you are quite wrong about it's capabilities. It's made for micro 4/3 glass, the crop factor is zero and it can get quite the film look, the sensor has a dynamic range comparable with cameras worth 10x the price, so I have no idea which "users" you refer to.
That being said, a 50D setup would cost you less and as we all see, one can get stunning images from it.


1% - any math we can do to figure out what shutter speed we are using? Is the issue only with the latest build?

but that crop factor... uurgh, makes me sick

5D RAW II all the way on my end.

It's designed for 16mm glass. The crop factor is zero.

Yep - resetting canon settings worked it out. Thanks.
So there's no mlv in the latest build from andy? I guess copying the module from the one before isn't a good idea?

Still crashing. I'll do a fresh install on a different card and see if it helps.
Tried a new card - changed nothing on the settings. Still a no-go.
I'll restore the settings in camera to the canon default. (video system in canon menu was set to PAL - I live in europe - does this count for anything?)

I restored the factory settings (video system is still PAL). I think this got it working, not sure if it will crash again, but it didn't the last couple of times. btw, is the raw module the old raw_rec or this is the new mlv format. Cause it produces files with .RAW extensions..

Nope. Only White balance is auto.

My settings are the defaults + all the IME modules and raw_rec. Global draw on, small hacks on, exposure override on, fps override off, movie mode on (tried both ways). Could there be something wrong with my card, cause I'm pretty sure I have all other things right, but it still crashes when I go to Lv with raw on or when I turn raw on when in LV?
I have auto power off from canon set to 4 minutes, but turning it off doesn't seem to help.

Finally figured out what caused my freeze problem with the last several builds of tragic lantern. I have a canon 50 1.4 and some m42 zeiss lenses, which all share an m42 adapter with a focus chip. With the canon 1.4 it works fine (although I don't see mlv in the latest build, or it has replaced raw_rec?); when I put the adapter on with one of the other lenses, though, every time I try entering live view with the raw module on, the camera freezes to a blank screen and I have to take the batteries out. Weird, huh?

I am doing exactly that. Loaded the IMO modules (ones that have imo_..) - still the same. Loading the scripts module gives me some linking error.

« on: October 01, 2013, 12:59:12 PM »

Don't enable raw_rec and mlv_rec at the same time and make sure the IME modules are loaded too.

I would suggest not loading any other modules (ettr, auto exposure etc).

Which are the IME modules? 
I enable only mlv_rec

Still no joy for me with Tragic Lantern. With 28sep. build, as well as the previous two, the camera crashes when I turn on MLV recording (movie menu) in Live View, or when I switch to live view with it on. The camera freezes and I can't do anything except take the batteries out. This is on a freshly formatted in camera Komputerbay 32gb x1000 card - installed 2.3 and replaced it with TL.
Any help, please?

Went back to magic lantern. Latest TL kept crashing my 50D and i had to take the batteries out whenever I enabled MLV raw or went to live view with raw video on. Camera just freezes.

Why go through all the trouble? 1080p is more than enough. Besides, there's the BMCC. No one is going to like your film better just because it's in 2.5k.
