Just to be sure, there is no way to get a frame preview on an external monitor in crop mode, right?
Thanks,

Thanks a lot! I won't give any explanation though ;-), but I've very much liked to ear your thoughts, because yes the short is a bit more "complex" that it shows at the first view.
As for the fire, it's not, it is real one out of focus, but yes it has been composited…

Hello all,

I haven't posted since a long time here, but I'm still using Magic Lantern of course!

Here is my last short film entirely made with my 5DMKIII/ML and registered for the Nikon Film Festival : https://www.festivalnikon.fr/video/2022/531
You even are able to vote for it if you find it interesting ;-)

Thanks,

Stephane CROUZET

5DMKIII, 1.1.3, last ML build, CF+SD write benchmark (1 min) :

SD: 19.1 MB/s - CF: 85.5 MB/s
SD 160MHz overclock: 49.8 MB/s - CF: 60.1 MB/s

Does it make any sense? The overclock mode on SD card slow down the CF writing speed here… Anyone else?

I try to record 1920x1050 48fps, which keep giving me errors when recording on CF cards. So I've tried to record it directly on SD card.
I've tested SD patch with my SanDisk Extreme PRO 95 MB/s with no result as ML always says my Card is Full, but it isn't.
So I've tested to record without the patch and only succeeded for 70 frames each time.
Is it possible to record longer takes ?
If I buy a 170 MB/s will I have more chances ?
And does a Lexar HC II 300 MB/s makes a difference ?

Thanks for the help…

Ah yes, so dumb question. I didn't thought about the RGB sensor readout.

Question : would it be possible to have an anamorphic mode in x2 to add to the x3 arsenal, with less vertical resolution to keep a realistic recording rate ?
x3 is a bit extreme when filming portrait for example with all the hairs aliasing.
Or it is a totally dumb question, which can be.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info, but what I really would like to know is: Would it be possible technically to implement an option to get a full live view full sensor realtime preview while recording a crop mode?

Yes I know. To explain the question:
When the camera is framing but not recording, the framing preview is always good even if not realtime and is the same as the image recorded.
But when the camera is recording the preview, when working, doesn't help to frame anything because the back image on the camera doesn't correspond to the image recorded at all.
My question was: would it be possible to put on the camera screen a realtime preview or readout of all the sensor when waiting or when recording even if we have chosen a particular crop mode?

Don't know if I am clearer.

Hello Danne, totally fool question here:
Would it be possible to have a plain, all sensor, preview when idle and when recording despite the chosen crop mode?
And to prepare and use crop mark images to get the correct framing?

Thanks,

The problem is I get all the images and they are good in Preview mode from the Mac, but something is preventing themselves to be understood by CameraRAW after been transcoded.
The mlv file is opening fine in MLV App, but as soon as I transcode in .dng, the files become unreadable.

Have someone had some issues with 1920 60fps?
All other presets are working fine, but with this preset (+ NTSC / 720p / 60 Canon Menu), I can record, transcode the MLV to .dng and preview the .dng on my Mac (1920x804), but the files created are impossible to import in After Effects or Photoshop. They give me Photoshop (-30504) Error message.
And sometimes the recording is stopping due to datas errors, filling my 5DMKIII with numbers, but even if the record is good with any errors, I can't load the files then.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

I know, I have already done that, I have tested every presets since two days.
The problem is if I want 24p, the max vertical resolution now is 1920 pixels with the 3.1K 1:1 (without using anamorphic).
But, some presets offer more vertical resolution, like 2340, in anamorphic.
My question was just if it is possible to get 24p, 2340 vertical resolution, even if I loose some horizontal one and if I loose one what could be the horizontal resolution?

I don't get why it is possible to record 2340 pixels vertically in anamorphic but not in an unsqueezed preset.

Thanks for the answer, I try to understand:
In 3K 1:1 mode, I can record 1920 vertical resolution (24p).
In Anamorphic mode, I can record 2340 vertical resolution (24p).
What, could be the maximum horizontal resolution of a 2340 vertical file if I wasn't in an anamorphic mode and I would still want 24p?

Not sure if it is clear?

Thanks,

Hello Danne, a question for you: would it be possible, technically speaking, to add a preset which could record at, for example, 2808x2340, in 24p (not in an anamorphic mode)?
What could be the greatest vertical and horizontal resolutions in 24p (no anamorphic)?

Thanks,

I have well understood what you've said, what I don't know is how to access more vertical resolution in crop mode without using an anamorphic preset.
I can shoot 1920x2332 24p in anamorphic, but I would like to shoot this resolution with 24p but without the deformation. Is it possible? What preset do I need to use?

Thanks,

No, not really. It is because I have bought an ISCO Ultra Star x2 Anamorphic lens and would like to be able to shoot 1920x2160 to get 3840x2160 24p, for the moment I only manage to get 3200x1290 unsqueezed.

« on: November 11, 2020, 06:48:50 PM »

Hello all, need some little help here, I have bought an ISCO Ultra Star x2 Anamorphic lens and would like to be able to maximize the resolution of my files.
With the standard ML mode I can shoot at 1600x1290 / 24p for 3200x1290 unsqueezed files which is great but I would like to raise my vertical resolution by using the crop mode.
Is it possible to get for example 1920x2160 / 24p in any crop modes cause I'm a bit lost to what mode to use to keep 24p but with better resolution?

Thanks.

Sorry for this question Danne but I'm a bit lost in all the presets modes.
If I would like to shoot in 1920x2160 / 24p without using your anamorphic modes (which are really really great by the way) but just normal shooting with a strange ratio, is it possible with your build? Because, when I raise the resolution (to get more vertical one), it is written in the presets 15p or 7.5p…

Thanks for any help on this…

Is 1290 the max vertical resolution without using crop mode?
And what is the maximum vertical resolution in crop mode if you want to keep 23.976fps?

Thanks,

Hello, I am testing real anamorphic filming with a 5DMKIII and an Isco Ultra Star x2.
For the moment, I am filming in 1600x1290 - 23.976fps with no crop to get 3200x1290.
Is there a way to keep the same 2.48 ratio and to raise the vertical resolution by using crop modes or not ?

Thanks,

You can do this by simply use two LiveViews, the first one set as you like and the second one with the False Color activated.
Then use the Info button to switch between the Normal LiveView and the False Color LiveView.
I'm not in front of my 5D but there is an option to activate more than one LiveView (2,3,4) and you can set each as you want.

Just a note to confirm that you really have to only use 8 characters in the name of your Custom modes if you want all to work as expected.
If you use more it seems to work properly at first but in fact it shuts down the Custom modes (set automatically to OFF) and mess with the Config presets too.
If you change the Config and restart, the state isn't saved as expected.

@Danne do you know what order is used to list the Custom modes?

Thanks,

Hello, I've noticed in all crop rec modes (1050p 48fps / 1920p 50fps / 1920p 60fps), the RAW Video / Preview / Framing is OK but all the Realtime ones aren't centered properly.
The framing is off towards up of the frame. Question: is it possible to correct this by a way or another to be able to aim when shooting or not?

Thanks,

S/.
