Hello A1ex,
With your Feb. 05-th build:
magiclantern-crop_rec_4k.2018Feb05.100D101 (Experimental page),
you have provided a significant achievement with the ML development of the 100D. Congratulations and thank you so much! For me, it is a KEY BUILD which I will store at 3 different locations and will keep it installed all the time on my 100D for use on travel and vacations.
Here are my first impressions:
====================
1) RAW video with sound works very well in all crop modes and at all bit depths now.
2) The silent module with IS lenses works very well now with and without intervalometer. The shutter speed range is 1/25-th of a sec. to 16 s. Extremely useful, especially with Dual ISO!
Not working:
=============
3) The raw_tweak module. It affects all RAW video modes and has to be deactivated for them to work properly. It cannot play previously recorded 10/12-bit uncompressed video either. I have given details on that in my earlier posts in this tread.
4) The RAW video (MLV) mode works somewhat better now but still very unstable. It records WITHOUT sound (even when sound is activated), but when switching between bit depths the "Threads failed to start" message appears and a battery pull and restart is required. In this case, M00 to M06 files of 1 KB size are recorded and the actual .MLV file is just 3 KB.
5) When trying to playback a single DNG file in the File Manager, a horizontal line (about 25% from top), cuts through the picture.
6) The shutter speed with single FRSP DNGs is not reported correctly in ACR. On my EF 70-300/4-5,6 IS it shows just 1/3 s., no matter what the actual value was. 0n the 24/2,8 it shows 1/2 s.
7) Aperture control on recent lenses (I have tested with the 18-55 STM, 24/2,8 IS and 35/2 IS), cannot be properly controlled - just by 2/3 of a stop. Is it possible to fix that? On older lenses like EF 70-300/4-5,6 IS aperture control works fine.
SUGGESTIONs for Improvement:
======================
I. It would be very helpful if an option to the silent module is added which allows for lossless DNGs also to be written into a MLV container to save about 35% card space. Hoewever, to distinguish these picture sets from the regular video MLVs, they should start with the letter "S" if they contain single lossless FRSPs and "T" if they contain time lapses. This will make sorting much easier afterwards.
II. It would be great if a red stricken out loudspeaker icon is added to the screen when sound is deactivated. Otherwise, it is very easy to forget to turn sound on after it has been turned off for certain videos.
REQUEST to other 100D owners using ML:
============================
We are now very close to the point where the 100D is about to become the perfect travel camera. Please check all other functions that you use in the photo and video modes and report possible bugs here. In this way, we will have a refined and completed build that you can trust and use with confidence when you travel with your 100D.
