I see.

Is it possible to use card spanning with sd_uhs on 5D Mk III?

Danne, what does mean "card spanning"? Is it the same for CF as sd_uhs for SDXC?

I'm sorry, the camera and the lens are on the way to me (I'll have to get 1066x Extreme Pro, too), but I just can't wait. It would be my first FF camera, to be used in a documentary project with indoors shooting mostly.

UPD. OK, now I have got the camera and lens (will get the 1066x CF in a week). Still I don't know which firmware to choose - 1.1.3 or 1.2.3. Could anyone, please, tell me which one is more stable?

I have Silicon Power SDHC 8 GB flash (speed class 4). Can it be used for ML firmware with this camera?

I think the only way to know if the black Sandisk Extreme Pro CF is that quick is to get the card and to try it by myself. UPD: to try on my 5D Mk III and using my own video plots.

By the way, I just can't understand if 5D Mk III supports lossless 10, 12 and 14 bit raw?

Thank you.

I could hardly find a download link for 1.1.3 firmware, so here's my download link, it would be available for quite a long time:

Is it necessary to buy a black Sandisk Extreme Pro 160 MB/s 128 GB CF over the golden one?

I'm a newbie on 5D Mk III. Which firmware could you advise me - for 1.1.3 or 1.2.3? Which one is more stable?

I'm deeply sorry, but who could, please, be so kind to tell me where I could find all current RAW capabilities of 5D Mk II?

Hey Dave was there any progress in lossless for 5D2 ?

The same question is about 50D. Needed a lot in September for work.

still waiting for 7DMKII' ML.

Hope someone can hacking it。

Me too, and I hope so too.

By the way, crop_rec doesn't work, all the camera shows in this mode is the stripes. What am I to do?

Also, the overexposed areas becomes pink, and I don't know how to grade it. Set the Raw White Level to 200-250 less, set the Highlight Reconstruction and Cyan Highlight Fix, nothing helps too much. Maybe the 12 and 14 bit modes would help?

Working on 50D Full Height in FLV preset

Maybe there's something that I don't understand, but what is the need in this mode? Vertically oriented low frame rate video, when most screens are horizontally oriented? There are only smartphones that are vertically oriented, but what is the need of shooting raw to watch the final result on the small screen?

The very thing is needed about 50D is the compressed 10, 12 and 14 bit raw mode.

Almost the same as with 100D.

Could anyone, please, tell me what is the bandwidth of the M's and M2's card controller for write? What does show benchmark with the fastest SD card you can get?

i have the source but haven't had the time to compile on 5d2/50d yet.

Waiting for this.

Thanks a lot, everything works now!

It's a pity that I don't have VAF-50D filter for now. I've made tests with raw today, just color graded in MLV App, please, look at it. Added some sharpness (50), clarity, vibrance, saturation (20), filter "Film E100" (50). Shot in 1568x882 10bit, as I have only Transcend 32 GB 133x CF now. Upscaled to 1920x1080. Lens are Canon EF-S 18-55 IS STM. Sorry, no tripod here. What is your opinion on aliasing, is it quite heavy?

There are other tests, with flowers, and there is no visible aliasing.

Do you want to say that it may be possible to hack 40D CF controller to work in PIO 6 mode?

I can't find "Exact fps" on this tab. I'm using crop_rec-3744x1080_24fps_50D-eXperimental.4.57pm.2020May06.50D109.

There is also an issue with the frame rate of h.264 videos. It's always 30fps, and I cannot change it in either video editor. What am I to do?

Does this mean that the battery is just weak?

And what about the shutter angle? I can't change it in LiveView mode. It's always at 330o.

Is my battery for 50D is weak, or is it true that 50D dries out the fully loaded battery very quickly (3 or 5 seconds) when shooting video?

And how can I change the shutter angle? I can't do it.

I think it is the controller that hots a lot. Because the SD card is warmer than the battery.

The battery grip doesn't allow the hot air, produced by the SD controller, to be vented from the battery compartment. Though, I've not tried to use the battery grip. The best solution here, IMHO, is to use the remote battery grip with the compartment lid taken off the camera.

Earlier on this topic I wrote that the SD card and the battery becomes very hot after long continuous shooting. Maybe iliush has another problem with overheating, but on my 100D the whole battery slot gets hot after even 10 or 15 minutes of continuous shooting raw. When I put the card off it's as hot as a frying pan (OK, not exactly as a frying pan, but it's quite hot, I can hold it in my fingers). I guess this is because during shooting raw the controller works at a higher speed than usual. Maybe the overheating can be dangerous for the SD card, and maybe it won't prolong the card's life in 100D.

So, the card needs to be constantly cooled, hot air must be vented from the battery compartment. To do so, I've removed the compartment's lid, and, anyway, when shooting in the street, the card gets hot not so quickly and not as much as during shooting indoor and with the lid closed.

I think many things depends here on the bitrate.

The problem is that the battery gets hot too, and it is hotter while shooting raw than while shooting h.264. I want to say that the card and the battery warms up during shooting h.264 too, but not as much as shooting raw. The important thing is that the battery additionally hots the SD card, even without the compartment lid.

By the way. https://rawcalculator.netlify.app/calculator_desktop doesn't consider (or doesn't take into consideration) the existence of 8-10, 12 and 14 bit lossless compression modes that are implemented for 100D. I've done a video 60 sec long in 1920x1080 10 bit lossless crop mode, and the actual mlv file size is 2,791,141,888 bytes (2.79 GB). That is, 128 GB flash would be enough to shoot 45 minutes continuously in this very mode.

Sandisk Extreme Pro 64 GB shows 66.1 MB/s write and 71 MB/s read in benchmark.
