Camera-specific Development / Re: ML on EOS-M2

« on: October 15, 2015, 01:26:51 PM »

Great, new gears ! Is it possible to have the same for the 7D mkII to start looking at a port ? Perhaps the dumper is not needed as we already have a fir upgrade available but then could you point out the steps to lookup the keys and decrypt the firmware ?
Thanks in advance!

As I understand it the counts each cup has been flushed is not stored, the image is reconstructed from the modulo image with some stochastic algorithm as explained in the video (markov chains, etc...)

Could you try with mlv_rec as raw_rec is somewhat deprecated and tell us ?

Raw Video / 7D raw resolution: question of curiosity

« on: July 02, 2015, 12:46:46 PM »

... but in x5 zoom crop mode the max resolution rise greatly, but then we are limited by the memory card write speed and by the live preview not showing 100% of the frame...

See 70D thread: No firmware update but porting is going on.

Yes, I did and have understood that the first action we have to do is to dump the firmware memory using a signed code, I'm right ?

I received my 7D mark II the last Saturday, great upgrade from the "old" 7D  I was using until now with ML since it has been available.
I already participated to ML development for the 7D, mainly back porting code to the main trunk like FPS override, raw recording display indicator,... Also fixing some code to let it work for 7D, like fullres silent pics,...
I'm very interested to participate on a 7D mark II port !
As I understand it we are stuck now on the firmware dumping as there is no firmware upgrade available ?

What about 7D mark II ?
Is it mandatory to wait that a firmware upgrade is released by Canon before starting to look at a ML port on this beast ?
I ask because I ordered mine yesterday to replace my venerable 7D...
I already did some ML dev for the 7D and I'm asking if there is something to look at the mark II to initiate a port before Canon release a downloadable firmware upgrade ?

ML on 7D mark II would be great with such new features as : moire free video "a la" 5D mark III, CF/SD dual slots, 60fps in 1080p, dual Digic 6 processors, phase detection AF in live view,....

General Help Q&A / Re: Trying to learn how to use the FPS Override feature on a 7D or 5D3

« on: March 30, 2015, 01:28:30 PM »

On the 7D FPS override is only active in RAW video mode not in native h264 compressed video. This is the most useful because it permit unlimited recording at 5x crop mode at 24fps when 30fps, which is the native FPS of the LCD in 5x/10x mode overflow most if not all CF cards.

Modules Development / Re: Full-resolution silent pictures

« on: January 13, 2015, 08:14:33 AM »

Nice, I had tried it a few months ago but couldn't get past the bugs (crashing/freezing the camera), never had a chance to make good use of it or even report the issues. Can you post the dng? It looks a little off but much better than any of my results. Black level maybe?

The picture looked a bit weird at first for me, but I think that a1ex is right it was taken in bad conditions with a fast lens wide open(Sigma 50mm f/1.4), in dark and underexposed. I also noticed some vertical banding in dark area.

Here is a link to the DNG : http://www.bleuazur.com/~vyskocil/21850007.DNG

Magic Lantern of course ! I built it from source but I suppose that nighty build should be up to date now.

With the latest sources I could record about 1 mn 40s (2423 frames) of full HD raw video at 1920x1080@24p (FPS override) in 5x crop mode with Canon Liveview, sound and global draw ON with Zebras and Focus Peak !
I think this is outstanding, a great achievement :-)

Do you get audio menus up and running? I don't remember seeing them, but will double-check.

Yes and live audio meters even when not recording (very useful

Camera-specific Development / Re: Magic Lantern for 7D 2.0.3

« on: June 21, 2014, 12:19:26 AM »

It doesn't really depend on CONFIG_AUDIO_CONTROLS, but it's enabled by default if you have ML audio controls (because ML implementation simply keeps the sound chip on all the time, while Canon's implementation turns it off in photo mode, for example).

Without audio controls, ML has to use some tricks to enable audio. These tricks were implemented for 7D, 6D, 650D and 700D, so these cameras should have CONFIG_AUDIO_CONTROLS in features.h. It's not defined because I didnt't notice it's missing.

edit: enabled and did a small cleanup; can you try? (can't test it right now, but looks OK)

I quickly tried it and it seems to works ok.

But at the end why CONFIG_AUDIO_CONTROLS had been disabled on the 7D ?
It seems also all right when I enable it on my 7D...

Finally got my hands on the Magical lantern last night (last nightly build)
One word , Wonderful.
a big thank to whoever worked on this project it's absolutely brilliant.
Anyway , one of the things that got me into buying a 7D for magic lantern was the "Audio trigger shutter" , i couldn't find it in menus or subs and modules.
Is this feature missing for 7D or its name has changed?

FEATURE_AUDIO_REMOTE_SHOT seems to defined only for 650 & 700 build...
I just defined it in 7D features.h, compile it and give it a try : seems to works very well !
I don't know why this is not included by default ?

[Update] in fact this feature depends on CONFIG_AUDIO_CONTROLS and this had been disabled recently for 7D because some features were untested/or perhaps not working (?)

I don't understand (in all_features.h) :

Code: [Select]

#ifdef CONFIG_AUDIO_CONTROLS
    #define FEATURE_AUDIO_REMOTE_SHOT   /* requires audio controls, otherwise there's no sound in photo mode */
#endif

Raw Video / Re: 7D high fps

« on: June 20, 2014, 10:16:33 PM »

Yes, I just tried it again, and 59,94 is fine, but 62.974 (which is the last and final increment) causes live view to become corrupted. Perhaps it should be limited to 60fps.

Thank you so much for getting the ball rolling on FPS Override!

Do you have any interest in adding the "High FPS" option that is present in other builds? 

- high FPS (NEW_FPS_METHOD): try to decrease timer B first (no side effect on shutter speed)

As I understand it, the NEW_FPS_METHOD needs the location in memory of some tables that must be found for each platform (SENSOR_TIMING_TABLE, VIDEO_PARAMETERS_SRC_3,... ?) if ever they exists on the 7D ?
I don't have the tools and the time to look deeply at this, but perhaps someone know how to discover these tables on the 7D ?

Raw Video / 7D high fps

« on: June 18, 2014, 01:19:06 PM »

hey vyskocil,

 have you experienced a  corrupted live view when fps  is set higher than 60? My 7D screen turns pink when I set it to the fps that's just over 60.

I haven't tried to push the override above 50/60 FPS. Will try it and tell you.

I compiled the latest code for 7D and did some tests with it connected in HDMI to my TV set to emulate the setup with a small external LCD screen and it worked very well in the menus, the live view and MLV recording but in MLV playback I noticed some problems as shown in the picture below : the playback is off centered (shifted to the left) and there is garbage below and above the image :

Didn't know this : "Vimeo allows Basic members to upload only one HD video per week, so if you upload two HD videos within the same week, only the first will show in HD. The other will appear in SD only."

I'll try to repost these videos in HD...

Sort of. I had to do some significant cleanup (that's why it took a bit longer), but now it passes my sanity tests (there was a memory leak) and it also passes the menu usability guidelines.

You may try it in the current nightly.

Thanks a1ex for the cleanup and the merge ! Hopefully we now do have FPS override in the main !
