Again reinstalled ML and problem solved itself.

I can get a roughly 7 to 8 seconds with a 45MB/s (Advertised) Memory card at Full Res and 2:1 Aspect Ratio
which is really useful considering a project with short takes and cuts.
I wanted to know that is this due to the 7D's High SRM memory value or something else?
I am considering a switch to 5D Mark II for better low lights and some extra features (ML+In camera) but i wanted to make sure about this first.
Any advice is welcome!

That damaged frame is kind of a bummer since it doesn't happen on certain part of a shot to avoid.
and sometimes it happens (for me mostly happened when camera was moving either handheld or slider , etc)

Sample :

I figured it could be due to a average speed of my card (Sandisk Ultra 50MB/s)
then i tried it with a slower card to see if i could increase the chance of this and to me it seems like it still happens occasionally.

did it , works like a champ.
thanks!

When i try the Focus stacking feature on my 7D it stops working and shuts down the camera (latest build)
Anything i need to check?

Also i found that when when i try to go on the crop mode in Movie mode (5x crop)
i cant go back unless i switch to photo mode and come back
which im pretty sure im missing some settings but i dont know which one?

Since the card is a bit slow i always change the Aspect ratio to a tighter version other than 16:9
it's not always the same but i'm sure it's not the full resolution.

Thanks for the link by the way.

Sometimes After processing MLV's with MLV Converter (MLV to DNG) i found that some frames got skipped anyway also half of a frame was kinda like raw gray noise applied to it.
i'm preparing for a shooting , and i feel Raw is a bit unstable to work with , last thing i want to happen is to find out afterwards a footage is not usable.
any suggestions? part of it maybe because of my card but it could handle a scene up to 7 seconds.

Also any difference with shooting Raw and MLV?
i couldn't find about it in FAQ or User guide.

Maybe he didn't download the video , come on Walter 

Nothing changed.

Before i reset it.
I found that camera tends to slow down when light decreases.

here's a video: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/4k9hcpotin59out/Shutterproblem7D.mp4
My apologies for the quality but i feel it's enough for demonstrating the problem.

If you start up with SET pressed: Is the fps thing occuring or not?

basically what i said , even without ML running the problem stays better say sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

I have noticed that if ETTR module is loaded and you have forgotten and left it on, that might happen. so make sure that modules are off and do you have the problem. also if you debug change only one setting until you catch the error, otherwise it is hard to find what is to be the fault.

Running the camera w/o ML (what Walter suggested) will basically solve this problem.
i taught this had to do with Buffer so i pulled the memory out and still Continuous shooting at 3/4 frames per second.

First: Is it ML related? Start with SET button pressed and try again.
Result?

That's the problem , i tried it w/o and with.
sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's not.

Is there a way i could reset the whole thing (ML and 7D together)

I'm having a problem recently which i don't know the cause but it's making my 7D to a 3-4 Fps camera.
even though i'm putting the camera on High Continuous , it's really slow.
only though that came to mine was the buffer being nearly full all the time.

Any ideas?

Ironically with this last version i could get a clear shot for 10seconds w/o a single skipped frame on full resolution with a 8GB Sandisk 50mb/s.
Really amazing!

Won't get rid of delay during startup/recovering from sleep, though.

It's a bit annoying , although i did not miss a shot from it but still takes about 3 seconds to run up.

There's a new update for 7D apparently , could someone explain about audio controls , the change log is another language for me

Hint: go to the SRM memory thread and type "autofocus" in the search box

I did and i tried it though i have Big picture question here
The don't click me is freeing access to take pictures while recording and you're using the SRM memory solution to get this done?
i'm just a bit confused but it's nothing new since i heard about ML a year ago 

I was looking at change logs and bumped into this "SRM memory: allow autofocus while allocated, but keep full shutter locked. Test on "don't click me"
i never found a useful explanation about this thing and i always taught maybe it's Voyeur Detector or something

Just in case , i didn't have any issue with battery either.
although the usage of it is pretty high but considering how much it calculates everything it's pretty good.

When you format in-camera it keeps ML and only deletes media

When you want to update ML, you:

1) pop the card into the computer
2) delete everything except native Canon stuff (DCIM and MISC). In other words, you delete:  ML, autoexec.bin, and 7D_203.bin
3) Copy new nightly stuff onto card (ML, autoexec.bin, and 7D_203.bin). These sit on the root of the card, PARALLEL to DCIM and MISC- not inside either of those.

Actually, I'm not sure about 7D_203... maybe that's just necessary for creating first time booting? Not sure, I just copy it anyway because it doesn't seem to hurt anything and it's easier to just copy the whole thing then to actually have to think about what's what

Thanks man , that really helped.
I have the nightly #157 up and running now I tested the Audio remote shot works well.
the problem with Raw recording is gone and it's working perfectly fine.
The issue with Auto ETTR was a mistake i made in SNR settings after tweaking it a little it's now good.

About the recent Ram solution which in it 7D was shining how does it apply to our shooting?
should i enable something or it's a new algorithm which is running already?
With SanDisk 8GB Ultra 50 MB/s I could only shoot at 960 , 16:9 properly which is kinda sad.

Hello again.

I'm having a issue with Raw recording.
when i press the record button it says allocating 51mb data i think then it fails and says memory full which is not.

also couple of questions about installation:

-I wanna format my current memory which i have ML on , what's the protocol here?
-I have the Nightly #140 and i want to update to the latest one should overwrite ML files on my memory with the new nightly? does that fresh up my settings?
-Generally should ML files be copied to the DCIM folder or the memory index?

Thanks , Daniel

Hi ML team

After testing ML-Nightly.2014Jul02.7D203 I have noticed that when I'm using Live view with Exposure override ON (I have couple of manual lenses) and  changing time value down, the time values are incorrect in Live view, but on LCD panel on the top of camera are correct. The opposite way (time value up) is everything OK.

Can someone confirm that bug?

Best regards 

I have the same issue but with a little play , back and forth it does correctly.

I have a issue with Auto ETTR
it tends to always go for a high iso like 3200 even though i'm letting it go for lower shutter speeds.

Great cameramoves and cuts, but I'd have really graded it differently: I think a more contrasty, colder "high tech" look would suit much more a theme like this than the dreamy hipsto-lomo stuff.

Agree.

I think it's actually amazing that they're using Bugatti as a police car (it attracts people to be police officers i guess )
What model the jib was and lenses you used?
Also can i ask about how much did you receive from this project?

Can i ask what that's gonna do?
increase the cache so it has more space to put files into and then write them into memory card?

Could someone manage a workflow for processing DNG's in this new version?

Thanks! Mistake was that I didn't copy the ML folder when putting files on CF card. I followed your steps and everything works fine!

Funny thing is i did the exact mistake , wonder why that is.
