Canon 70D

[nikfreak]

We are only able to set FPS via timerA and that again caused complaints if used below ~8-10fps if I recall it correctly. Using timerA will lead only to a hackish solution which will provide an option for "HiJello, FastTv" and others like "Low light" or "Exact FPS" will not work as they require timerB. Spent the most time on 70D porting on that issue but til date I found only one "hackish" solution to set FPS via timerB. You have to do it by modifying the appropriate register for timerB namely 0x6014. But the default setup like it works on all other cams will not work on 70D. So I won't provide a "hackish" solution but an idea could be to provide some sort of module based on a1ex's recently released "crop_rec.mo" module providing some short list of fixed fps values (1 / 6 / 12 /24) as non-reversible () modification while the module is active.

especially when there is a lot of movement in the time lapse. It's kinda hard to explain in words....

Moving objects? FRSP maybe won't fit but give it a go as with intervalometer you could do 4k single-file MLV timelapses easily. If not already known then search youtube for examples.

Salve a tutti, ho un problema, ho istallato ultimo firmware su 70D, ma non mi fa settare la risoluzione per la ripresa Videoraw. C'è solo una unica risoluzione alta che mi fa riprendere soltanto per 4 secondi... Come mai?

after porting dual iso in movie mode on 5d m2
Can we expect to see this on 70D?

[nikfreak]

5D2 uses one register for it. 70d behaves like all other digic5 cameras using 2 known registers. Like FPS override using the othe register confuses the cam. DeafEyejedi has posted some videos to show how it looks (strange flickering). Also tried 6D's register but that didn't either work. I left some comments in code and all over this thread regarding the issue but the solution won't be to use the 5D2-method. Maybe the best thing would be to return to start and follow what the changelog from 10th Mar.: Alpha4 in red color asked everybody to do but no one cared about. Might not help but give some hints perhaps.

In simpler English please. Is still required some test? What to do? I don't see raw diagnostic included in beta-3b as it is written in alpha4.

[nikfreak]

It will be included in next release.

Timelapse from Video (on the 70D)

Advantages:
- open "acceleration", as there is basically unlimited frames to choose a time compression from

Disadvantages:
- less leeway in post (Raw vs. h264)
- lower resolution (cropping and simple sharpness)
- huge filesizes (at least at medium to long intervals, mRaw/sRaw as an option?)
- battery life

I think the only time you see issues with moving objects is with very low compression, like 3-10x or so.
You might want to try an ND-Filter to up the shutter and blur objects some more, just like in video
Now if you don't need the post-processing options and other stuff and want to do these kind of car-lapses, why not just get any random action cam?
Seems like the more appropriate solution, way smaller, cheaper and easier to mount, but will give you the kind of timelapse you linked to.


Cheers

          You left out an Advantage ~ Far Less Wear & Tear on the Camera.

Oh, & ~ You also end up with a real time Vid of the Session if, for some reason, you should need it.

Hi Stefan!

I can't speak for jesús?, but for myself and many others, there's no desire to go spend another $400 on an action cam to do timelapse.  We prefer a single rig to carry and the quality of the sensor and processing on the 70D.  That said, one of the biggest advantages for FPS Override is saving the life of the shutter.  When you do a lot of timelapse, you burn through your shutter pretty quickly.  We typically don't need the higher resolution of the full 20MP, as the timelapse will be played back on a standard HD monitor or TV.  And aside from ML assisting with increasing the quality of our shots or videos, one of the other things it does for us is to help simplify our workflow.  When using FPS Override, as opposed to intervalometer, there's no need to download 9,000 photos (~48GB) and then stitch 9,000 photos together to make a 5 minute video.

Just my 2 cents ;-)
Cheers!!

Hi guys,
when i try to rec RAW video 1824X1026, canon stops due to a frame skipped. I use a San Disk extreme pro, class 10 95 mb/s. Can i solve this problem with another card?

[Walter Schulz]

No. SD-card interface in 70D is limited to about 41 MByte/s.

[Xav]

Hello, great job on this build! I'm wondering when audio monitoring will be supported and/or where that's at.

Thanks!

[Walter Schulz]

Don't hold your breath. Take a look at https://builds.magiclantern.fm/#/features and the Audio section there. Compare to other Digic 5 cams: Nope, none supports headphone monitoring. Making it run on Digic 5 is not within scope of this port.

anyone moving to the 80d?  a d6 processor, slightly higher 24 mb sensor and more autofocus points.  that's about it.  same crappy uhs-I sd card interface.

According to the review by The Camera Store guys the sensor of 80D is pretty great and at par with the competitors. And according to the following post, the write speed is around 80mbps! Need to be verified though.

[josepvm]

Yes, it seems that 80D's sensor includes on-chip A/D conversion, aproaching the DR at ISO 100 to the DR seen on Sony sensors.

But 80D is a Digic 6 camera. And ML has not been ported yet to any Digic 6 camera... and porting it seems a very difficult and time consuming task ... so don't expect to see ML running on a 80D soon.

[nikfreak]

Please stay on topic- namely 70D. If you want to talk about 80D then open up a new thread.

很高兴
so happy.
现在我有一个账号
Now I have an account.
I am a Chinese, using 70D for a year,and using ML for half a year.
Before I can only see you discuss.
Now I can ask the question, and I hope someone will answer me.

1，dual iso 
     Which software can be exported, and the latter process.
2，FPS
     What time appears again in the new version, I see the moderator in the discussion of FPS.

[tisa94]

No one answer me ，Do you all sleep？

[OlRivrRat]

      @Tisa94

   Welcome ~ Most of the Wizards here are a bit Slow To Respond. I would try but am not DualISO Saavy.

As for FPS Override, you can go back to "8 August: Alpha-7a2" Build for Limited use. I keep that Build on

1 of My SDCards just for that purpose.

   Be patient & enjoy.

@OlRivrRat

Where is the 7a2? My English is so bad cause me can not find it.

Can you help me?Thank you!

[devomk]

Hi ML users.  Does anyone got the previous  (before 8 March ) ML update?

[aedipuss]

tisa94 - get the cr2hdr zip from - https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/view/Other%20tasks/job/cr2hdr-20bit/
extract all files into a folder.  put your cr2 dualiso pictures in there.  highlight them all and drag them onto cr2hdr.exe.  it will export all pictures as .dng that will open in photoshop.

hi 70D guys. i have been using  650D for a while. thinking of upgrading to 70D. what do u guys say? is it worth it? how is everyone experiencing with ML on 70D?
