Here is my test result from today.  mk11174 thank you so much for compiling for me and of course thnx A1lex for making the impossible, possible.



Manual mode, F2.8, 1/4sec, ISO 100, Tiffen variable ND filter, 15sec interval
361 frames, 2160p, 23.976 frame rate,  After Effects (best view fullscreen at 4K)

NOTE: 2 frames are completely black (frame 241 and 362 out of 363 were shot)
Don't know why or how to avoid.

BTW  silent.mo were the only module loaded.  and Global draw was set off.

Question:  would ETTR helps?
5D2 + nightly ML

What is min exposure time for raw full-res?
Canon 5D3,1.1.3; Canon EOS M,202,  CF-SanDisk Extreme PRO,160MB/s, 256GB, SD-SanDisk Extreme Pro, 170MB/s, 128GB.

Working on 600D! Thanks so much! Im gonna try this in the night with Intervalomat enabled.
For TimeLapse it would be realy nice if every sequenz is saved in a seperat .mlv or .raw or even a new .tls (TimeLapseSequenz) container.

U r the real MVPs!

X-RAY

This is so great ... after all this time alex is still in the game for great new developments!

I always wanted silent pics for timelapse, so my dream seems to come true.
Is it possible to get a nice configurable timelapse-section in ML?

Some testing feedback on the 5DIII.

If I try and use an ETTR setting, at 0%, the FF silent DNG is always about 1 stop over exposed. ETTR setting was 2s, so beyond FF silent min.

If aperture set fully open, ETTR seems to be OK, ie stopping down doesn't work.

Linking the FF-Silent with timelapse generated an ERR 70 and some crash logs: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mnqjd20ejr6qowg/AAD0RXnnPGfEpsGe_xjdE8aCa

Will carry on testing and reporting.

EDIT:Exp override was off,just read the previous post.

MLV worked for me as well as ML raw video converter 1.9.1 with my 60D.

I did a simple exposure test primarily to find out how to expose.
I shot 1 photo mlv timelapses trying the next shutter step starting from 1'' exposure until 1/400.
Used f1.4 and iso 100 throughout and wrote down the milliseconds.
Extracted and imported to LR to measure (alas by eye and histogram) exposure and possible issues.

Here are my initial findings.

1''     -   1333ms
0.8''  -   1081
0.6' ' -    964
0.5   -    809
0.4''  -    640
0.3''  -    616
1/4   -    549
1/5   -    460
1/6   -    438
1/8   -    389
1/10 -    360
1/13 -    344
1/15 -    324
1/20 -    320
1/25 -    312
1/30 -    292
1/40 -    284
1/50 -    281
1/60 -    276 After this exposure bumped up and started getting random numbers from 269+ms to 280+ so i stopped the test
1/80 -    282 yep

So exposure changes are not very linear as far as i can see (or maybe i am wrong?),and after 1/30 there is no point in closing the shutter further.
Plus there is a strange top-corner vignetting after 1/30 which seems it exists anyway in the all pictures in every exporuse although it isnt always very noticeable.

EDIT:Exp override was off, just read the previous post.

Thank you i will test this.
Cheers.

2nd sloppy test with the 60D with the modules brapodam linked.
Exposure simulation, and override, (if the latter matters) ,was ON.
f1.4 iso 100 exposures starting from 5'' until 1/250 exported using mlv converter and imported into LR.
Bug?next shutter (ie to go from 1/50 to 1/60) wouldn't change unless i went 2 steps ahead and then 1 back,
(had to go from  1/50 to 1/80 and then go back to 1/60 for it to engage and show in the screen).Maybe exp override does that?
So:

5''     -  5686ms  f-stop reports incorrectly to LR (shutter reports 1.0s)
4''     -  4442      same as above
3.2''  -  3490      same as above
2.5''  -  2980      same as above
1.6''  -  1887      same as above
1.3''  -  1631      same as above
1''     -  1333      same as above
0.8''  -  1091      same as above
0.6' ' -   954       same as above
0.5   -   799       reports correctly as 0.5''
0.4''  -   680      ----reports as 0.5''---
0.3''  -   616     
1/4   -   539
1/5   -   460
1/6   -   438
1/8   -   399
1/10 -   360 After this step exposure changed very little and top corners vignette became more and more noticeable
1/13 -   354
1/15 -   324
1/20 -   310
1/25 -   301
1/30 -   302  ?
1/40 -   284
1/50 -   291 
1/60 -   276 
1/80 -   271
1/100-  270
1/125-  268
1/160-  266
1/200-  275
1/250-  264

Dont know if all these mean much, if there are other means to test this further and provide useful info, let me know.

A few random pics with shutter 1/3, 1/8, 1/30, 1/125.

A few tests on the 50D show different ms. Haven't gone through the whole range, but matched ISO100 and f/1.4

Shooting at 5s gave 5607ms
Shooting at 1/10s    310-312ms (this too seems to be the sweet spot for no darkness at top of frame, with least amount of motion)

Shutter speed is set from a table, in scsDummyReadoutDone, first call right after NormalCapture; on 60D, the table is at 0xFF5B4DA8; it was first mentioned here.

These numbers are plugged into a routine which prints something about VSizeSetting, and does some math, which transforms the time value in units for FPS timer B.

On 60D, that table looks like this:


raw_shutter  printed_time   time_ms     fps_timer_B_units

     152    1/4000     =>      10 ms    204
     153    1/4500     =>      10 ms    204
     154    1/4800     =>      10 ms    204

     159    1/7800     =>      10 ms    204
     160    1/8000     =>      10 ms    204


These numbers are the exposure times for the very first image row (which is actually in the optical black border). The gradient effect was already discussed (if you have trouble understanding it, read this first), and the last number from this table should match the timer B setting before the final readout. On 5D2, the last number from the same table is 14ms = 224 timer B units, which is 0xdf + 1 and matches the previous results.

When comparing the exposure times from the table above, with the run times of the capture function (as posted by gcrook), keep in mind there are other delays in the process, not exactly known (the capture code is quite complex), and most cameras (except 500D and 1100D) use a dummy capture step (which adds a constant delay before the actual capture).

So, these exposure times are approximate and slightly larger than the actual exposure; the exact exposure time is done (or expected to be done) by mechanical shutter.

Reminder: these are some test results I'm looking for, to complete the timing analysis. The test script is not present in the pre-compiled builds, so it's for those of you who compiled ML yourselves.

Ok, lets get this thread back on track.    :D

This thread is for full resolution silent picture development discussion.  Before posting here, please stop to consider your post.  Will it help development?

For discussion about capturing silent pictures using raw video formats, please see this thread by dmilligan:  http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12733.0

Want to request a build to help with development?  There is already a thread created here:  http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12608.0
Note:  Other members who can compile builds are more then welcome to fill requests in that thread.


Thankyou all for your understanding.

what is the difference between battery consumption with full res silent pics timelapse and standard timelapse ?

It takes about 10 minutes to find out. Look in Debug menu - once the percentage decreases by 2 units under a given workload, you can write down the estimated drain rate.

Of course, if you want better accuracy, you can do a few tests and average them - that will take some more time :P

Everybody, please double-check the skip offsets in raw.c and post the confirmation screenshots. The ones from 600D are wrong.

download raw_diag.mo, select the "OB zones" option, and adjust the offsets until you get the following picture (note the cyan box being just inside the noisy borders):

It's there, just checked the current nightly.

If it's not present in your custom build, you can add a call to it in builtin-enforcing.c.

I did post a screenshot the night I added the edmac and before you accepted it you said the skips were correct, so how are they wrong now???

Update: Just saw you commented me on bitbucket, but the screenshot was after edmac change because I got error if no change was made and tried full res silent picture.

Your screenshot was most likely done before the EDMAC changes.
Maybe something wrong in my source, I can try raw diag using the nightly and see what we get unless someone already got you one, but trust me, there was no way for me to get a screen before the edmac change, so I don't know what is wrong now?

Hm, the raw_diag screenshot was directly on a silent picture? Can you upload a DNG?

edit: I get it now, you got the screenshot from LiveView, not from photo mode...

You can get the raw_diag screenshot from regular photo mode, outside LV. If you really want to get it from a silent picture, use the intervalometer, not half-shutter. In both cases, the offsets should be equal, because it's the same Canon code that writes the raw data.

Well, I turned on the fullres on the silent module, then I turned on Raw Diag with the zone option, then I did a half shutter press and held it for a second till I saw the Raw Diag text so I guess it was a silent picture it took cause the shutter did not activate.

Let me get her camera so I can do more tests with the tool and send you the DNG too.

Crap, just remembered the fullres is not in nightly yet.

So Ill create a new local repo and build and try, but do you want one with nightly too without fullres?

Ok, so just tell me exactly what you want and Ill grab it for you, I have camera now.

Gotcha, sorry, I thought it had to be a regular silent picture, I better check my 700d now to then!

Here is the screen from photomode and a regular photo take without silent picture turned on.

Looks real off doesnt it?

So any idea what the offsets should be now to start with for correction?

Look for CONFIG_600D in raw.c, and the last block has the offsets from photo mode. You can start from the values I've linked above, and maybe fine-tune a few pixels from there.
