Okay
This semi-white blinking preview appeared when I updated the camera to your latest build. With the regular nightly build the standby mode is clear.

It worked for me!
Cool.
This is the picture where i kept 3 things together:
1 - Full Frame image with regular h264 mode
2 - 4k anamorphic mode from the same camera position inside the white border
3 - The area I saw via HDMI monitor in the blue border

It worked this way (phone video): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FcdwtZUzQdPfIoX1151yZzOBU0jHkWas/view?usp=sharing

Reddercity, i will be waiting for the preset, hope it will work for me as for you, because i have diy HDMI monitor

Masc, i can mistake, but just think that the horizontal resolution is more important even if there's moire

Yes, i've already tested it with HDMI monitor, and got non-full width preview 

But what i'm really waiting for is 3x1 4k anamorphic full-width preview... The last time I tried to HDMI preview with 4k it just didn't work.
If i can try to do it myself without programming (maybe changing and figuring out some values even if i could spend a tonn of hours doing this) please tell me how and where. And maybe i could help you with it   

So waiting to test that on 5d2...

@reddeercity, I just bought a "new" 5d2. It works a lot better than the previous one which is died, unfortunately... so I'm exiting to test and get into some new stuff, hehe

So at this point in development, is the 4K firmware pretty stable? I've been shooting RAW with the ML last nightly build and it has been pretty rock solid.  I just haven't moved up the the 4K builds yet.

Check the 1'st post on the 1'st page

Wow....

Hi. Could you please tell me if there is any way to magic zoom face tracking in manual focus mode just as it works with autofocus enabled.

I would like to buy a lens for street portraits and selecting between my two favorite lenses (awesome Sigma art 35mm 1.4 and vintage Nikkor 35mm 1.4) i'd rather old Nikkor because of some reasons. They have the same price...
My 5d2 auto focus system is very unstable. It focuses on eyes olny in 15-30%, even if I use only the center point. Ears, hair, forehead, but not eyes. No matter what lens I use, I must use manual mode for taking good pictures. So id like to buy a manual lens, a screen viewfinder and try to focus quickly on eyes using magic zoom. Moving the zoom box each time with the joystick is too slow. So is there any way to let the camera think that we are in auto focus mode for enable face tracking with manual lenses?

Guys, could you please upload some more 4k anamo videos from your 50d? And is the liveview frozen like on 5d2?

@stokis, absolutely agree. Even though my 5d2 stopped working (i've tried to dissasemble it, but made a mistake.... so, I can't participate en testings).

Sorry, I didn't read all the thread and don't know if you wrote about that before, but how about 3:1 or 1:3 binning for shooting 4k (2,35:1 for example) without stopping? The same way as Reddeercity did it for 5d mark II.
This is my shoot on 5d2 and old Nikkor lens using 4k with binning:

I think the image is pretty detailed.

PS: I don't have 5d3, just wrote this as a suggestion.

@Reddeercity. Sorry, could you please tell with simple words? As I understood, you did your work, and uploaded the source code for others?

Understood, thanks

@Reddeercity. Thanks. But could you tell how you process the video? In my case, i got the dual iso video more noisy in shadows the regular video using mlv app.
But when i take photos and use cr2hdr the result is stunning.

In the first page i found:

mlv_dump clip.mlv --dng --no-fixcp --no-stripes
cr2hdr --same-levels *.DNG

So, how to do it using windows? I have cr2hdr, but don't know how to open the terminal.

@Reddeercity, ok, anyway, this last video is the good working dual iso module. The best effect of this module i think is less noise in the shadows in the video. I couldn't even dream of such a thing for my 5d2...

@masc
Understood... Also, i still think that my flat is too dark.
Got another handheld picture in the same light condition but near the window, and with another lens which is faster, but less sharp and foggy, because it's 50 years old Nikkor.
This is it:

Wow, personally i was waiting for it a lot...
In my case, it doesn't work with Nightly Builds, only with your builds.
Could you please tell me how to process it? I checked the Dual Iso thread and found that

- For RAW video files, use the following commands in a terminal:
mlv_dump clip.mlv --dng --no-fixcp --no-stripes
cr2hdr --same-levels *.DNG

So, how to start cr2hdr.exe with this code in windows?

I already have experience of dual ISO photography postprocessing with cr2hdr.exe, but dont know about the video.
When try to process it in MLV app or MLVP i get a lot of ugly noise in the shadows.
ISO 100/800



The noise is noticeable, look... I'm i doing it the right way? Or maybe it's because of low light condition?

Try to use another CF
Edit: @reddeercity, tomorrow i have my final shooting with 5d2 for the long period and after that will try to get into all the features in your last build. A also found an interesting thing about Lexar 1066. You remember i told you that it became a brick without any possibility to format it with any program or camera? So, the one thing i needed to do with it is insert it to 5d2 with magic lantern bootflag activated, then plug it again to the PC et... voilà, it works! And all the files are in their places. So i think will it crash/restore again if doesn't have ML folder on it

In my case yes

Look, David, i marked the center with the red circle.
So, it's not centered in 4k.
PS: can't activate the 48p preset... but now i'm scary trying to get into it if it's not enabling because my cam is half-alive right now and i have a project to shoot, heh... i'll attempt a little later or wait till next build if you don't mind

@Igor_Braun , I don't have time right now to investigate your camera's issue -- but it looks like a setting & corrupted images , I've seen this before (I think it was a card write issue)
I'll need to dig thought some of my past research to find info for you .

David, that was for info purposes, please don't waste time for helping me:) heh, do what your doing, and i'd be happy if that what I wrote in any way can help in further development

@reddeercity, but half-frozen preview would be a good way to see what you are filming without any delay in 48fps.

I Think there maybe a issue with your battery grip (dirty contact etc. ...)

Will try to clean the contacts, maybe it's an issue, but not sure, because anyway, the camera behaves badly. And yes, i have original canon batteries.

They do burn out from time to time  , FYI I don't restore my card in cam (Format in camera & replace ML build) unless there's a good reason too

I will be more careful and follow your advice to don't format it without the reason to actually do it to save NAND's life Thanks for the link.

And good news for me. The Lexar card started to work again as if nothing had happened... What is it? I don't really know. The interesting thing is i low level formatted it with Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool, the format was done successfully (but anyway it still wouldn't open, the same process i done with the 1st lexar), but all the files are still there on the card... And i can format it now.

And i'm sorry for disturbing and waste your time. Don't sure i wrote in right threat.
Also need to say that bought the camera like it was a new one, but later noticed some bugs:
1. Magnify jumping out to 3x3 automatically after randomly count of seconds
2. The sensor was "covered" with a lot of artifacts and strange patterns. All of these disappeared after i cleaned it with a special swab.
3. The serial number on EXIF metadata was different from the serial on the camera body. And i ever read the name of the previous owner.

Of course, i bought it for the price like it was new. In the store, they told me that they didn't know about it, and also told that if i had any problem they repair the camera by themselves...

That time i needed the camera so much, because my 650d's sensor deteriorated after a trip, so i decided to leave the cam with me.
It was a kind of wrong way =)
Now i thing those bugs appear with the new force (all this i write because is started to appear with Exp. build and including because maybe it could be a kind of useful for the development):
Mirror doesn't go up and the camera doesn't switch on (with magic lanter uninstalled). After several (regularly 3-4 tryings) it starts to work. But step by step... look:
https://youtu.be/PsNHjv31loY
pressing trash button because of the habbit 
https://youtu.be/DdbDzuy2GI0

Also, sometimes i have color changing on video or more frequently on photos (especially first 20-60 seconds when i activate preview)

Look, this photoshoot i did three days ago. (i cant show the model here on this forum including because it's a nude photo)
one photo has this color:

And after several times it has "normal" colors:


But from time to time the color changes slightly thats why i wrote "normal" (i newer use AWB)

Also, there are vertical stripes sometimes:


Sometimes i got a mix of it's all. 

Another thing...
After this photoshoot, i notices a strange texture, zoomed it, and was slightly shocked.
Just look a that




I have no idea what it is.
That was a non-commercial shooting 

This all are so strange and started to appear after i installed experimental build the 1st time, but i think it's only coincidence, or maybe this story will be useful for development of this experimental build

For my work, i decided to rent another cam for now , and don't know what to do with imy one. Maybe i need to bring it to any repair service, but I am not sure they understand all of this.
or buy a "new" used 5dii when have enough for it.

But while i'm thinking i'd like to share some files CRASH00.log and log000.log (not on lexar card, but after it stopped to work iinserted another one (sandisk extreme) and saw some crash log files). I don't know if it can be usefulm but anyway...
