New build posted.
Found a way to prevent Canon code from saving some of the settings at shutdown, including the settings block that caused issues earlier (
reverse engineering notes here). While not perfect, if Apr04 had this safeguard, all the cases affected by the null pointer bug would have been caught. Still, there are ways to brick the camera, just a bit less likely to do so accidentally (and, as long as the bootloader is not erased, recoverable).
How it works: whenever a crash is identified, or whenever you open the battery door, Canon code no longer saves the usual setting groups at shutdown (RING and RASEN, if you look in the above link). There are still setting groups not covered by this safeguard (still looking into it, but so far, all the null pointer errors were in the RING group).
To test - the PAL/NTSC setting is in the RING group (and, to my knowledge, only saved at shutdown). You also have a dummy crash under Don't click me.
After a bit of battle-testing, I think this should be back-ported to all models.
Changes related to raw recording:
- double buffering is back (except at very high resolutions); didn't test much
- pre-recording indicator: mm:ss.f + ss.f
- full-res LV increases FPS when lowering vertical resolution (up to 5796x400 @ 48 fps)
- in 10x zoom, FPS override can be disabled by half-shutter to allow focusing
- minor fixes here and there (full list on the download page)
For preview with correct framing on external monitors, try Force HDMI VGA (not tested, but IIRC it used to help).
