Why memory reading not updated after shooting
« on: March 04, 2016, 12:20:23 PM »
Every function of RAW video works with my 5D Mkii, no problem. However, after a recording is done, the memory reading (on top right of screen) is never updated unless I power cycle the camera.

I tried the latest as well as mid-2015 builts. Tried different cards, thorough formatting. Doesn't help. Did I miss anything?

Appreciate if someone can kindly enlighten me. Thanks

Limitation of the way Canon firmware reports space remaining. Figuring out exact current space remaining would require some further reverse engineering.

Really appreciate the reply so now I know and can shoot in peace.

Just to compare notes: I can shoot at 1760x990 (16:9, 24p, audio off, GD on, zebra on) continuously for 29 mins on a 128gb 1066x Lexar card.
