Looks a hell of a lot sharper on that video you posted. Think the grain will be less pronounced in low light? Thats where i seem to be struggling the most with my M. Not enough sharpness and too much grain. If I add sharpening to make up for the 720p image the grain gets sharper and more pronounced. If we shoot mv1080 crop maybe we don't have to add sharpness and the grain won't look so pronounced.

I got ya. honestly I was just talking some trash to keep the thread alive. I'm more of a camera guy than a coder. On the main eos m thread looks like the new guy can code..wildstray. Is mv1080 even worth it? Is the resolution gained that much? I've never tried it cause I only have the M..Thanks Dfort you're awesome and you always have tons of useful knowledge and help.

"the easiest way would be to record RAW and H.264 simultaneously. This one fits into easy coding tasks." Alex said that. I think he can do it...

yeah. we need mv1080 like the desert needs the rain. can't you ask some of your friends dfort?

To be honest I can't tell if my c mount lenses are slightly out of focus at infinity or if I'm just running into resolution limitations with the eos m. Mv1080 please!!

I could be wrong but I don't think there's anything going on with the M3. Aparently it runs on the powershot firmware. There's CHDK they work on powershot stuff. Look that up.

please please make this happen

Yes mv1080!! please please. Great ideas!

thank you dfort. i guess i thought since it was windowing the sensor it would be lower bitrate. 100MB per second aint gonna work lol.

Dfort awhile ago you mentioned a zoom mode that was capable of2592x1108 or something like that.. is that do-able on the eos m? And if so how do you do it?

Log c is built right into mlrawviewer. You can get log c to rec 709 lut from arri website. Haven't really got it looking right yet though still testing.

Not morse keeper... Autocorrect. Mlraw viewer.

Really loving raw on the M. Looks like 16! I'm on a Mac and I'm using pink dot remover and morse keeper to output prores. Looks nice and I'm using the Alexa log-c profile. 2 things... It's kinda noisey and it's a bit hard to focus even with the magic focus box.. Ideas?

Thanks for all the help guys. Especially dfort. I'm understanding much more about the m now. I've been reading about mlvfs and workflows. What are you guys doing for workflows. What I'm after is something that will remove the Focus Pixels and make me prores files quickly and easily...

I've been looking at the nitrate calculator. Does the 3x5 subsampling option have lots of moire and aliasing?

Very interesting post on the c mounts and crops thank you. So let me see if I can get this straight. There's a 1080p mode which the M can't do. There's a 3x crop mode that is h.264 only and there's some thing like a 5x crop when recording raw on the M? I was thinking raw was at 3x... Bummer. I mean over apsc. I always do my math over apsc or super 35. Not full frame. Films are never shot this way except for Hitchcock or vistavision.

I've got a 12.5 c mount and I was thinking about getting something wider like an 8mm or 6mm. I'm coming from a gh2 which has pretty good detail so I'm wondering how 720p crop mode will stack up. As many trees as possible lol. Actually 1 tree would work. Or buildings, whatever. Looking for detail.

anybody got any sharp wide angle footage? Like trees... I wanna see some detail.

Yeah I'm mainly interested in crop mode. Like I said I can't really find any video that isn't shallow depth of field. I realize it's compressed that's why I was asking for Vimeo download. Also new videos seem to look better even on YouTube. Most of the vids of the M are from 2012 2013. I also realize it's hard to have a wide angle on a 3x crop. I'm just looking. I'm interested in the M but I just can't tell about sharpness and detail. I haven't seen anything very definitive. That still does look pretty good though btw. Thanks dfort.

Hi guys,

I've been searching a lot and not finding what I'm looking for. Would anyone be willing to upload some high quality footage to Vimeo for download or high quality footage to you tube? A lot of the footage I'm finding is rather old and looks low res. What I'm wanting to see is the sharpness and detail of the M with the raw hack. Lots of stuff I'm seeing has had sharpening added of is very shallow depth of field... Making it hard to judge sharpness and detail. Wide angle sharp footage is what I'm looking to see about f5.6 or f 8 aperture. Thank you.
