Nice, what edits did you do besides the obvious saturation push?

No.

Well your the admin can't you apply the change? Nice of you to check with the community here though. Yeah it would make sense to change the name.

yep but in my experience it's been much heavier than normal CA from lenses.  The files I've exported from Davinci have had lots of magenta casts to the point where it's unusable.

Yeah shots especially out in sunlight are like this. Terrible. So how do I fix this? Defringe in post?

I've noticed the pink fringing as well but apparently they're not there, or they are so minimal in the exported file. In cases where it does show is when aggressive sharpening was applied, but the magenta channel can be tweaked.

Is this the kinda stuff that looks like chromatic abberation?

I really doubt that this would have the frame-accurate functionality that it would need to truly be useful. If you still have to manually sync the audio in post...what's the point?

Well wouldn't it be possible to have have any syncing issues because the audio clip would be the exact same duration as the video clip?

The main reason ML deters new users is because the settings can look/be too complicated from first look. This fixes this issue by supplying information for (hopefully) all settings and sub-settings.

Interesting test, thanks for posting. Keep up the good work.

The half- and full-press button is wired directly to the trigger jack, that's why we can read and set the state of the button externally. None of the other buttons can do this.

Ok, makes sense.

Okay, then, here you go:

1. For the hackers:

a) Use the hpress module (you'll find it somewhere here) to trigger video recording via half-press.
b) Connect a 2.5mm jack (on some cameras, on others it might be the special trigger-connector) on the camera. The first line is GND, second is half-press and gets pulled low when half-press button is being pressed. The last is full-press, we don't need that.
c) Use an Arduino to measure if half-press is low. For simple purposes, just connect it to a digital pin and do some digitalRead. For the more advanced users: use external interrupts, that should allow lower delays.
d) Now get a 2.5mm jack (I think the jack on the Zoom is 2.5mm) with 4 lines. I don't know the order, but I think the 4 are: Vcc, GND, RX, TX.
e) Connect correctly, check if voltages differ (It might be everything, most likely 1.8, 3.3 or 5V). If voltages aren't the same between Arduino and Zoom, you'll have to use level shifters. Now a record message can be send to the Zoom. Done.
e) Optimize the circuit by using some ATtinys instead, start a kickstarter and get rich.


2. For the rest of us
a) wait for 1.e



EDIT: it's 3.3V - luckily ATs run that stuff
EDIT: also: the other way around is also possible: make the zoom start video recording. It certainly sends a message when starting. Pulling the half press low causes the camera to record as well (when the hpress module is loaded, off course).

Can't we just use the dedicated video start button for the newer cameras and the set button for the older cameras (5D2)?

I still think that an option for 1880 should be allowed even in the final versions of ML.

Not to be a pain, but upon searching the ML 2.3 FAQ with an in browser text search, nothing relevant to this topic appeared using the words: blue and LED.

But it is released =D, I own one as of a couple of weeks ago. Of Course a trigger for the H4n would be nice as well.

It has?! I've been looking at this for a while I don't know how I could have missed it. Anyways yes, this would be an extremely useful feature. No more sync beep required! This would kill all the audio cravers. You could just suggest them to this. Probably a better solution than fixing audio syncing and write speed saturation issues.

Chances are good. How do you trigger the H6 externally? Is there a 2.5mm jack for the trigger as on many DSLRs?

First off lets stop speculating on a product that hasn't been released and look at the long released previous H4N.

Im dreaming here but what if we could send a start record signal from the camera to the remote input on the new H6 Zoom. It would be a killer feature for those how own a H6. It would simplify sync and almost make internal audio recording abundant. Could this be possible?

I was speculating this a while ago, I don't know if anyone responded to the comment.

Its a ways off still I think with the new ML raw format coming.I'm also liking rolling release better.

Rolling release?

Ummm how did you get that much color in your image? My milky ways always turn out orange to yellow. I never get that blue and purple color.

So now we can shoot in other modes than M? Last time I was here I was told that it only works in M, which didn't allow an auto shutter speed.

@xNiNELiVES
Do you use any in-cam Noise Reduction?

No.

Thanks, I'll update it tomorrow (it means re-building Qt statically which is a pain on a virtual machine) I need sleep.

By god you are the unknown from those COD hacks. Your a bloody legend!

1856x1004 (I'm shooting at 1:85)

ah, so it's not the card that's the problem but the 5d2.  I've tested all three cards with a usb3.0 reader and black magic's disk test and they all write at around 109MB/S.  I guess I just want to make sure that those are the fastest speeds people are getting so I can decide whether or not to return them. 

I'll have to test the 1872 16:9 and see how long I can record continuously

thanks a lot!

Yeah that's actually the resolution that I had in mind, I just forgot.

Also it's not the 5D2. Drives do this, see SSD's for example.

6-7 minutes, at what resolution?

I can tell it's 1872@16:9. We all have this, it's when the card gets fuller it gets slower. That's why it's continuous and then it changes to 6000-7000 frames.

Good I hope this shift continues to this type of business. You guys rock.

If the past is anything to go by bigger the card from KBay slower it will be with the exception of the 64GB that offers the same speed as the 32GB. Lets see what Ted reports finally.

Remember that he's only placed the order he's practically on a waiting list.

First batch ran out. They were just a few pieces. I'm waiting for next shipment.

So you actually spent $700. What a rip off of a price! It would be way more reasonable at $300-400
