Not sure what Switch is? I just use your programs to extract DNGS from MLV, then I put all dngs into Helicon to stack them. Then I save as TIF and process the single stacked image in Adobe Camera Raw, then into CC

What is the purpose and benefit/s  of Switch?

Hi Danne

Thanks for your help with your software before that got me going.

Yes I will upload it when I get home. There seem to be lots of haze as well. I will show a pic of my setup as well. My continuous light is behind the lens and therefore no light in going into the lens.

cheers

Hi muanthang,

Apologies, i forgot to mention that I am using a 5x or 10x microscope at the end of my camera and there the video is very blur except for parts of the "slice" that are in focus ( shallow dof) as I am moving very slowly towards the subject matter on a rail. I then extract the DNGs from the video and then stack them. I can upload an image of the stacked image when I get home tonight.

cheers

 Hi All

I have been using Full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 7.4 fps (128ms rolling shutter) - continuous*) at 5 FPS! with success to capture still macro.

Given the low frame rate (5fps) has anyone used this , if so what is the recommend shutter speed for such slow rate under ML for a stationary subject/object. I see that "they" state to double the shutter speed of the FPS. which means if its 5fps then my speed should be 1/10. Given the subject is stationery and there is no movement is there any advantage of increasing the shutter speed. I have done some tests and cannot tell the difference other then loss of light.

cheers

Thanks Teamsleepkid. silly me, I misunderstood.

I will try it when I get home and report back.

much appreciated
Denis

Thanks Alex for your response but I do not quite understand what you mean regarding text

Is it the behaviour that using this option Full Res 7.4fps video that liveview is disabled?
I am unable to view the subject in the camera live view as was wondering if there is away around it. I cannot compose or focus on the subject matter

Apologies if I am not making sense

Hi

Using a canon 5dmkIII and the latest 4k_crop_rec and set to Full Res 7.4fps. The recording works but the liveview on the camera  is scrambled ( see attached pics)  and I cannot focus or compose.

Is there any way around this?

I tested Preview set to Auto, framing and Frozen LV to no avail.

cheers

Hi All

I have shot some video on Full Res 7fps and able to extract DNGS  ( thanks to Danne)  however the liveView of the camera is showing pink and scrambled lines. Any way around this as I cannot focus or compose a shot?

Hi Danne,

Thank you so much for your help and patience.  Thanks for the update program and effort, hugs

On a seperate note, I also found a link that there is a firmware update for the d800 that will provide 8k

Now to find the firmware. I go to Nikon site but no mention about it

Thanks once again and have a great day

cheers
Denis

Wohoo Danne, you are a champ. it worked. So if I want to add parameters what is the syntax? at the prompt do I enter "6 11" without the quotes and press return to run parameter 6 and 11)

Once again thank you so much my friend. I am so happy.

With the Full RES video at 7.4fps, I notice that live view is scrambled with pick lines which make it hard for me to focus ( as can be seen in those example DNGs') or compose. What are your recommendations of the settings below for FUll RES? I think I am using 16.9 or 1:1 . Just charging my batteries.

OK I will try now, but can you please confirm if you open a DNG in photoshop?

If not then corruption perhaps

Hi Danne

Here is a sample mlv as requested https://www.dropbox.com/s/lyjusbyn117t4xt/M12-1934.MLV?dl=0

Are there any Canon camera ( not ML)  video settings I should set?


cheers
Denis

ok Thanks Danne, its 11.43pm in Perth Australi, I am going to bed but will upload the file tommorow or if I wake earlier

Much appreciated

cheers
Denis

BTW I also tried RawFlow.exe and it extracted the DNGS from the MLV but same issue.

I am beginning to suspect perhaps my settings are incorrect in Magic Lantern so my MLV files are getting corrupted maybe,

Thanks Danne, I will upload to dropbox, may take .
wow, its very slow here, saying 1 hour left

In the meantime, base on the settings I used, is the Aspect ratio correct for the Full Res video of 7.4FPS. Alos I used Frozen LV
When I hit the play button I cannot see anything in Liveview on the camera, just pink scrambled lines
Is that supposed to be the behaviour.

Are you able to get the Full RES video of 7.4FPS. working?

cheers
Denis

Danne, how do I upload a sample MLV. I clicked attachments and nothing happend

These are my MLV files that I put in the batch_mlv folder

Danne

I did do that twice and it create folders but there are no DNGS in the folders

Hi Danne,

I did as you suggested but nothing occured ie no DNGs created but not sure what I did was correct with your utility.

I copied the utility into the folder with the MLVs
I am not sure what to do but at the cmd prompt, I selected 2 numbers, #6 then pressed return, then selected 11 and pressed return key. See the attached black screen image. Then I pressed "R" key and pressed enter... It seemed to do something. See the second screen capture. I copied the original MLVs into a folder called Originals and created 7 folders in the red box that I number as #3 however there are no files in it.

Thanks Danne for the link, I will try it, cheers

baccinoluigi ,

I tried turning FPS off but same issue.  DNG has coloured spots and not recognised by CC 2017

I believe it has to be on as in FULL RES we must sate the FPS as shown in the documentation ie 7.4 fps , I believe

cheers
Denis

Thanks baccinoluigi for your prompt response. I will try that now.

I normally use Full RES DNG photo mode for extreme macro to save on my shutter count as some of these stacks take 100's to 1,000's of pics.

I am trying to do the same but using 4k video to save time. The example below is a reduced size macro. The full Res version is 10,467 pics Panorama (16,424 X 18,674 ) using magic lantern and perhaps a few actuations only. So my desire to get the 4k video Full Res working as that took nearly 2 weeks elapsed time in photo mode.

Thanks hjfilmspeed

I followed your video with the exact settings but encountered 2 errors described below. I also then tried Full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 7.4 fps and got the same errors. The attached images are the settings for "full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 7.4 fps"

MY SUMMARY:
I tried the following :

1) video settings by Jonathan DeNicholas (https://vimeo.com/217313287#comment_15952088) How ro Record 3k on 5dmkIII with Magic Lantern
2) Full-resolution LiveView: 5796x3870 at 7.4 fps (128ms rolling shutter) - continuous*) at 5 FPS! - seeting at  14-bit lossless compression mode (LJ92), preview set to Frozen LV (previously known as Hacked Preview)

For both scenarios above the movie recorded and I extracted the DNGS using MLV convertor but could not open the DNGS in Photoshop CC 2017.
-The error was "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." , see   attachments
- In bridge I can see each DNG file has many dots of different colors. ." ,  attachments
