3. 6D has ALL I mode, use it.

Am I mistaken in thinking that All-I on the 6D was shown to have very little advantage other than bloated file size?
I had read the wonders of All-I when I first bought my camera, but somewhere along the line I came to understand IPB was actually the more sensible choice for it's overall cost/performance ratio. Maybe I was misinformed somewhere along the way...
Would love to be corrected if someone had a strong case for All-I on the 6D that I haven't heard.

p.s.
The disappearing menu is a common bug, i't there to stay and we LOVE it!

Okay, I may be taking crazy pills, but there was a build right before A1ex took his break from ML dev (maybe in Sept?)
and I SWEAR that the menu was persistent, no longer disappearing after a few seconds. However, it is indeed back to it's usual self on my 6D after updating from the circa fall 2014 build to a January 2015 build. Am I going crazy? Do I need to try to find this old build and test for sanity, or did someone else experience this?

Cheers!

It was so obvious, thanks!

You are very much welcome PANATEC! Maybe, just in case, would you like to read the userguide? You can find it here: http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/userguide

Quick update on firmware 116 support

I have found most of the required stubs and addresses.
I have also managed to compile and start ML but I get a black screen (top display works, no LED activity).
I'm now trying to debug where it went wrong. So far, I have confirmed (through various trial and error) that the entry point is reached (copy_and_restart()) but along the way, it stumbles somewhere.

Will report more later.

@JLL:
Be sure to verify the correct stub necessary to hijack the gui task. Otherwise you may experience the symptomps you described. You can find it in boot-hack.c:

Code: [Select]

#ifdef CONFIG_6D
    //Hijack GUI Task Here - Now we're booting with cache hacks and have menu.
    cache_fake(0xFF0DF6DC, BL_INSTR(0xFF0DF6DC, (uint32_t)hijack_6d_guitask), TYPE_ICACHE);
#endif

Don't forget to check the hijack addresses in consts.h and #undefine property request changes in internals.h before you continue.

1.1.6 would be great - keep on running

Sorry to be that guy - but I'm swapping my 650D (with ML) for a 6D this week. Appreciate this is blind-maintained but am I reading it right - I can put the *normal* nightly on my new 6D and have it work? Or do I need a forked version?

SuperMouseDV · « **Reply #733 on:** March 05, 2015, 12:27:15 AM »

Landwomble with firmware 1.1.3 there is a version for 6D in the nightly builds

Thanks for the tip ! Will look into it tonight.

Hi, does anybody know how to avoid this error message: "Early stop (11) Didn't make it to estimated record time!" after 3 seconds of recording?

I know that someone has already asked about the same question, however no feedback and I also was not sucessfull...

Thanks

Reduce resolution.

sirup · « **Reply #737 on:** March 06, 2015, 08:26:46 AM »

Thanks, which RS do you recommend? I would like to maintain the best quality as much as I can.

I used 1792 and issue still persists...

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #738 on:** March 06, 2015, 08:51:17 AM »

720p25 will do. SD-card interface is limited to about 40 MByte/s.
Look at the number ML is giving you at the bottom.

sirup · « **Reply #739 on:** March 06, 2015, 08:56:57 AM »

Thanks, results of 720p doesn't look nice to me. I thought that I will be able to record 4K RAW video - is this achievable somehow?

As you mentioned - it is because of slow SD card? I have class 10.

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #740 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:07:13 AM »

Class 10 says the card is able to do 10 MByte/s writing.
Run Debug tab -> Benchmarks -> Card R/W benchmark (5 min). Press play button soon after starting benchmark to switch to "Playback mode".

Bandwidth needed for DCI 4k native resolution) RAW uncompressed:
Horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x frame rate x 14 / 8 = Byte/s
4096 x 2160 x 25 x 14 / 8 = 387 072 000 -> 369.14 MByte/s

And 40 MByte/s is 6D's SD-card interface's limit. No matter which card you will insert.

Please do some reading about 4k recording requirements.

sirup · « **Reply #741 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:17:42 AM »

understand - so there is no option to do this on 6D. 5DIII has a CF card as well, so I believe that it will be possible. Right?

I have red the whole treat, however still have some missleadings - so apologies for stupid questions.

SuperMouseDV · « **Reply #742 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:18:43 AM »

Sirup the only stupid questions are the ones not asked.

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #743 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:22:53 AM »

CF-Card specs for UDMA-7: Up to to 167 MByte/s.
5D3 will max out somewhere below 125 MByte/s.

Please make yourself familiar with those bandwidth issues. You need equipment with serious performance for 4k RAW recording.

sirup · « **Reply #744 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:28:05 AM »

I ma trying to identify how can I get maximum from my 6D - now it seems that neither 5DIII is able to record 4K (or I am not sure what do you mean by "equipment").

http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0

I am quite excited, because I have noticed, than my motorola moto X2 records 4K video, then I tried to make some deeper look into my 6D and ML to find out all possibilites - now it seems that limitations are on place as usual

Correct me if I am wrong - thanks

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #745 on:** March 06, 2015, 09:49:12 AM »

4k is not a problem.
RAW is not a problem.
24/30 fps is not a problem.
Put those terms together and you opened a can of worms.

pryanic · « **Reply #746 on:** March 06, 2015, 10:15:08 AM »

I tried to install few previos version, but there is no video bitrate setup. And in audio setup I can choose only sample rate, I haven't gain and input type settings.

Motion detection only seems to work by exposure. When I choose "difference", the detection box in LV is black and ML never detects any motion.

Besides, how important is the temperature? I had my 6D on a tripod aiming at the bird feeder with motion detection on and after about an hour, ML showed 60°C temp on a red background. I shut the camera down - just to be on the safe side... Any idea what kind of temperature the 6D can tolerate for how long?
