canon digitalzoom
« on: January 22, 2013, 09:46:31 PM »
Hallo

I wanted to record a Full-HD-Video with Canon digitalzoom. That runs, but only with 3x-zoom. I cannot set bigger zoom-values anymore. Starting the camera with ML disabled, I can choose from 3x to 10x, starting with ML enabled I only have 3x.

What am I doing wrong?

since more than 3x is better to make it in post ML disable the (unsupported) modes bigger than 3x to 10x when the 3x shortcut is enabled. You can restore it to normal its't in one Prefs submenu IIRC
I'm using ML2.3 for photography with:

I guess the limitation is made because more than 3 times digizoom is less than 2Mp, I guess the 2Mp is then made from interpolation

Yes, Mikkel, I think so. I just found that in the userguide of ML:

"Note: by default, Magic Lantern disables digital zoom values greater than 3x in order to avoid image quality degradation. "
