This new OP created in 24-5-2021My custom builds are splitted now from the official 650D/700D threads, now we can focus the discussion on my builds, I will share future updates and tutorials frequently in this thread.
Welcome to:
Once upon a time,
Trammell Hudson said:
"
if it breaks your camera, you get to keep both pieces". Nothing changed, same applies here and in every build you are using
Q&A:
-
Why would you use my builds?It's included features might be useful or interesting to you, read below.
-
Why wouldn't you use my builds?These builds include bleeding-edge developments, it might break your camera, Don't use it if you are afraid!. However, to some point I know what I am doing, I only use my builds on my camera, never bricked it, some users used my builds too without resulting in a broken camera, the stats look good,
Relax.
Features:
-SD Overclocking module with selectable presets 160MHz, 192MHz and 240MHz.
-High resolutions pre-made presets (crop_rec) 1920x1280p/1440p/3K 1:1, 4.5K/4.3K/4K/UHD 1x3 and more (Including
preview fixes,
correct framing real-time previews in 1x3 modes)
-Magic Zoom V2 (LiveView zoom in to check focus while recording!) for some (crop_rec) presets.
-Changeable resolutions, framerates and binning modes module via (crop_new), you can get Full-Resolution LiveView 5208x3472 continuous in 10-bit lossless @ 5 FPS!
-
ISOless 8 & 15 Dual ISO fix for some 700D users.
-You can use lower bit-depths in lossless compression when shooting in high resolutions.
-Shutter speed is correct when using any preset, or FPS override.
-Enhanced experience for 1x3 Binning modes (Disabled Canon GUI, ML top bar would go to bottom automatically for better preview)
-Bit-depth is showing in ML bottom bar when using Crop mode.
How to use this build? Tutorial
I am preparing full video tutorial about this build included other related info, it may take a while!
Currently you can follow this post as guide, let me know if you have questions
General notes:-You can load both crop_rec and crop_new modules, but don't activate them at the same time (use "Crop mode" or "Crop mode V2").
-Use maximum aspect ratio and and resolution from mlv_lite when using crop_rec presets with real-time correct preview, otherwise mlv_lite won't crop the RAW data correctly.
-
Loading the modulesAfter installing the build, some modules should be loaded manually for once to be able to record RAW video, use crop modes, view recorded RAW clips . .
I recommend to load the following modules to get the best out of my builds:
crop_new: Second version of crop mode (read below).
crop_rec: First version of crop mode (read below).
dual_iso: Dynamic range improvement (read about it
here).
mlv_lite: Records RAW video.
mlv_play: RAW video (MLV) player.
mlv_snd: Adds sound recording to RAW video.
sd_uhs: Does SD overlocking which increase write speed (continue reading).
-Load these modules from "Modules" tab from ML settings, highlight a module and press SET button for each module, then restart the camera.
-Loading other modules is fine if you need them.
-
SD OverclockingWe can bypass SD Controllers write/read speed limits using sd_uhs module:
-Select a preset (160, 192 or 240 MHz) then restart the camera.
-The highest preset 240 MHz gives
~ 68 MB/s write speed in video mode, and
240 MHz preset is stable when using Sandisk Extreme Pro 170MB/s Card.
-
Best compatible SD card is Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I U3 170 MB/s (works in all presets, stable at 240 MHz).
Second-best is Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I U3 95 MB/s (works well in 160 MHz and 192 MHz presets)
-Perform "
Low level format" in camera to get stable write speeds (at least for once), image on the left before low level format, image on the right after performing low level format; stable as hell:

-You can easily check focus by pressing Half-Shutter in LiveView while not recording (works in all 1x3 presets and 1920x1280p 1:1 preset) to get into x10 mode, unpress Half-Shutter to get back to normal LiveView.
Crop mode submenu settings:
-
Shutter range:
Full range allows you to get the lowest shutter speed and highest shutter speed possible with camera Hardware, e.g: down to 1/24 shutter speed, up to 1/36K shutter speed @ 23.976 FPS.
-
Bit-Depth: This allows you to get 10/12 Bit-Depths with higher resolutions presets:
Always select 14-bit lossless from mlv_lite, select 10-bit or 12-bit from crop_rec submenu.
-
Set FPS: Change the framerate for some presets to 25 FPS instead of 23.976 FPS (works in all 1x3 presets, 1920x1280p 1:1 and 1440p 1:1).
-
Magic Zoom V2-3K and 1440p presets aren't supported, you can use regular x10 mode.
-I had corrupted frames when using Magic Zoom V2 with
*HDMI monitor, don't use Magic Zoom V2 with HDMI monitor attached while recording.
*However attaching HDMI monitors isn't recommended in general for these small cameras; it cause problems even with official builds.
-4K and UHD 1x3 Presets do have Magic Zoom V2, but with not perfectly centered preview or stretched zoomed preview, but it's valid for focusing.
Features:-
Nail your focus While recording!-Works with All presets with real-time correct framing preview.
-You can trigger it by Zoom button or SET button.
-No overhead or slowness, didn't have corrupted frames during my tests (on camera LCD screen).
-Real-Time as Canon Preview, it's a Canon preview actually, but zoomed.
-Works with Global Draw OFF.
-
Crop mode V2 module (crop_new) with Arbitrary Resolutions:
Instead of pre-made presets, this is the
new version of crop_rec from a1ex, which allow you to select any preferred resolution, framerate and binning mode.
-
How to use it?Select "
Pixel binning" mode,
set your X resolution and
Y resolution, set your desired
Framerate option,
Press SET button in LiveView to apply the settings.
-
Using 10/12 Bit-Depths in crop_new:
Always select 14-bit lossless from mlv_lite, and use 10/12 Bit-Depths option from crop_new submenu.
-Refresh LiveView manually after changing the settings by pressing SET Button in LiveView.
-Shutter range:
Full range allows you to get the lowest shutter speed and highest shutter speed possible with camera Hardware (360° to 1°), e.g: down to 1/24 shutter speed, up to 1/36K shutter speed @ 23.976 FPS, or
in low framerate presets e.g @ 2 FPS loweset shutter speed would be 0.5", 360° and highest shutter speed 1/12K, 0°
-Fix Preview: Fix pinkish preview in x5 Mode, max X resolution should be 3112.
-x10 Mode will be valid for focusing, and won't be patched.
-This module doesn't include any recent preview fixes.
-
Using HDMI:
-Connecting HDMI works, in general there is an overhead when using HDMI with 1080i output you may have corrupted frames especially in high resolutions like x5 mode/1440p/3K 1:1, but using HDMI in 720x480 output doesn't seem to make an overhead (it just act like camera LCD)
-The following crop_rec presets will only work with 1080i output! and with Full Canon preview (toggle between Small and Full preview by pressing Info button in LiveView):
• All 1x3 presets which has real-time correct preview which are 4.5K/4.3K/4K/UHD in addition to "2.5K Expanded Preview"
• "720p50 3x3" preset may not work with HDMI, didn't test it.
-I didn't have corrupted frames with 1x3 (real-time correct preview) presets and HDMI 1080i output, don't use Magic Zoom V2 while recording it will produce corrupted frames between the switch (Normal/ZOOM preview).
-
Write speed improvement:
-You can get
~13 MB/s write speed increase when using the new hacks, total write speed in LiveView is
82.8 MB/s!, more info in this thread:
LiveView hacks (write speed improvement).
-
Looking for more recording times?
-Check
Image quality and its effect on memory (more RAM 4 free).
-Results on 700D:
-1736x2214 @ 11 bit-lossless at 23.976 FPS, 240 MHz overclock, no GD (~78MB/s required write speed):
JPG: first clip: 1 Minutes and 54 Seconds, second clip: 1 Minutes and 13 Seconds.
RAW: I have to stop it manually after 6 Minutes of recording
