Thanks @masc & @Igor_Braun for feed back , interesting never happen doing testing
but that what you guys are for    I think know the issue . I'll post a fixed test build  a little tonight .

By the way what was the camera setting?
e.g. ISO , Liveview preview setting,  SR memory setting (e.g. 0-4) etc. ...
did you use any Auto setting? e.g. auto ISO or auto WB ?

Where can I see "SR memory settings?"
I remember ISO was 1600 (I've tried with 800 also, and in my case the lower I go, the less likely this glitch happens), I didn't use any auto settings, WB was something like 5400... (actually, I don't remember exactly, but usually I use this WB when shooting in my room)

Oh I love this resolution and the quality you get out of the old 5D2. Went out and did some test shots. Most of them look awesome. But some other shots are a bit strange and I don't know why yet. Some colums seems to have right blacklevel, others haven't. After around 50 to 200 frames all strips disappear.

First frame looks like that:

Frame 90 with same settings:


The black bar on the right should be easily cut somehow?!

And it seems that the frame is not exactly centered on the sensor - it is a bit more on the right, so the left part of the picture is a bit sharper than the right (right is a bit more to the lens corner).

Let me know if you need a shortend MLV for analysis.

I had the same problem sometimes but thought that the sensor's time is coming to its end. Hope I'm wrong.

I just was thinkin about crop factor reducing and thought that if we have money for buying sigma art 12-24 f4 or just Laowa 12mm f2.8 (which are zero distortion lenses) we can achieve 25mm in our crop module with 2.8 - 4 aperture, if we use sigma art 24mm 1.4 we get 50mm 1.4. Those lenses are costly, but have absolutely razor sharp and beautiful picture... So thanks Reddercity we have absolutely amazing 2624x1200 2:1 with full sensor bokeh style... Just wanna shoot cinema lol... The rest is to get a liveview (I would help you, Reddeer, but don't know how) and write a screenplay (also need to get some life experience for that, hehe...).

I also tested the new crop module - it works fine, the image is awesome. I was trying to see the picture via HDMI monitor for adjust the aspect ratio to see the borders of the image I shoot, but I couldn't... and all I see pink solid color with some kind of transparent image.

oh.... can't wait!!)) uh

Reddeercity, I understand you, but how sad it is... Do you still plan to finish your work with turning 5d2 into a UHD cinema camera and finalize your presets (including your awesome vertical squeezed preset) and lifeview?

Okay, Thank you so much Ilia, actually, it's very interesting for me... But I think now I won't touch the timer values. Just in case will follow the advice of Reddeercity, because my 5DII is the only camera I have and I still work using it. But thank you anyway.

Thank you so much, we are so waiting for it... Stupid question, but how to adjust that final framerate?

Hi, Reddeercity, this is about zoom jumping out (the problem of my camera I described)

let's send from each person one good of the place where he lives to Reddeercity? =) hehe.. That's absolutely incredible.

I absolutely agree with Masc about 16:9 and 2.35:1

Can't wait... =))

"After I'm done with the 5d2 development , I looking forward to the 5d4."
This also sounds inspiring.

Reddeercity, you do amazing things... look, after I wrote you about the zoom (magnification) jumping out automaticaly, it stopped to do so. Now it works properly. I actually don't know what happened (mystic). So, everything is fine now, but it have been jumping out for almost 7 years till that moment... hm.... So if it happen again I'll show you. Thanks

@reddeercity, you know, I think this is my camera glitch, because it doesn't depend whether it has Magic Lantern installed or not. I will make a small phone video...

Hi all. First thanks to Reddeercity and other guys for keeping working on it all. I check this thread every day.
I have a question. Maybe someone else has this problem. My 5d2 has a bad feature. When I magnificate the image with the 5x or 10x mode, it jumps back to 1x after a few seconds (from 1 to 30 second approx. It depends...) And if I don't have time to press the recording mode, the mode changes from crop to standard and the resolution goes down again to 1856 ... very annoying glitch. In theory, is there any program way to force magnification?

Also we can try to fix Metabones SpeedBuster on 5dMK2 to "reduce" the crop factor.

Absolutely agree with Banertop, hehe..
Usable 2880x1080p, with live view, so we can see what we record, is just fine. Maybe we do not need more resolution.....
It's a big progress. Crop Factor is like 1.9 but it's ok for this case with 5d mk 2, i think.
Anyway, thanks for keeping going Reddercity! And of couse we are waiting for any news. When you rich 2880x1080 24fps, I try to inspire you with little videos, shot with the new build, hehe

Wow, i saw the h264 video.
Maybe reducing vertical resolution till 1742 (4096x1742 (2.35:1 aspect ratio) will help to increase a couple of frames per second?

Cool -) Thanks for keeping going

Wow... it looks so interesting

I shot my cat with your build. She liked 2880:1080 so much. Everything was ok but froze grayscale preview.

Reddeercity, you told that you finally objective here is 4096:1550.
Look, 2.64:1 - it's a very special cinematic aspect ratio.
Do you plan to bring some options to choose between 2.64:1, 2.35:1, 2:1 or maybe 16:9?
I think 2.35:1 is the most optimal option here. It could be 3642:1550 (2.35:1) for example.

If you guys need help with one more 5d mark II for your tests, let me know

Really? 70FPS on 5d mk II? Guys i'm following you here on this topic but never write. So this my first time. You are awesome.
