Sorry Riccardo, I misunderstood what you wrote previously.

Yes, I agree. The video is very dark and noisy. Maybe it was an intentional look and noise was added in post? but it still looks very underexposed to me. It could also be down to an uncalibrated monitor when grading.

much of what i shot was cranked to the highest iso settings and noise was added in post.

If you're getting noise in daylight shots you're either seriously underexposing or your ISO is set very high. Use the raw histogram and expose to the right.

it was intentional. added it in film convert

great shots, but noise is at an insane level!
I can see it even in daylight shots
which were the settings of the camera?

it was intentional. added it in post with film convert.

Here is a piece I did as part of the Canon "Long Live Imagination" contest. Shot it all on the Canon 50d in raw. A few1:1 shots in the field at the end..other than that..all at 1580 or whatever because my composition was important and I needed to see what I was recording... Its a shame you cant currently view what is actually being recorded at 1:1 because the image quality is dramatically better. Wanted to test out the lowlight ability of this bad boy and see how it would play in a more professional setting. Hope to use it more soon.

No! Hacked preview mode will only let you see a low-res preview of the recordable crop area before recording. It will revert to 5x grayscale when you hit record. No fixes for this yet and don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Just how critical is your framing that you can't use an educated guess as to what the recorded frame will look like? Think of it like a broadcast safe guide overlay in your NLE and you are seeing the safe area.  You have to think a bit 'old skool' with the 50D

My framing is very critical lol. I want to be able to see what im recording at all times! I guess I will just stick with the standard mode.... need to get a 5d3...

Really wanting to know how to setup the 50d with the 5x crop mode properly. Is there no possible way to view what is actually being recorded? I need to be able to view correct framing.

Is there anyway to currently be able to view the screen during recording at 1:1 "zoom" mode? If I could see my framing and not have the like 5 fps lag I would be a very happy man.

Beautiful footage you making the 50D shine.  What was your workflow?  ACR into Davinci, or RawMagic straight into Davinci?  Did you use any sharpening?

RawMagic to Resolve to FCPX. No sharpening. I used a custon LUT I downloaded off the internet. Learned a lot from my friend Dan.

on 50D i'm seeing the Canon full color screen when in ML Grayscale until i hit record then it switches to grayscale.
(recent unified build)
Movie -> Raw Video -> Preview ->ML Grayscale
is this a bug? is this happening on the tragic builds from 1%?
also, the 50D ML grayscale is beautifully detailed in comparison to ML grayscale on 5D3.

note: for those PM'ing me about pink frames - you should not get pink frames in any recent build.
when the white point  (set in the exif) of the DNG is above the actual white level you will see a pink frame.
these bugs were fixed weeks ago.
do not be fooled by pink preview images.
if you have a DNG from a recent build which is pink when viewed in gimp or a commercial tool then that is a bug.
post the DNG image and build info to the forum.

@ultramaze thanks for the video - like the hand held vérité shots in the car - parthenon is not a bad place for a picnic.

lol thanks! parthenon is a great place for a picnic!

Brilliant color! Did you use a Print LUT? Resolve?

At 0:05, I knew it was gonna be a mindblow.

That's going to be the next hurdle here...

hope we can get a filter for the 50d!

It can be some moire issue. On 6D i had many green and blue blocks especially on the trees (very detailed shots) . They are all gone after installing VAF anti aliasing/moire filter.

okay cool! do you know if the VAF anti aliasing/moire filter for the 60d will work on the 50d???
