#3 does it give you a benefit when file splitting happens? my write rate is always quite jumpy. exFAT is no available option for 7D. i think i will add an option to toggle it.
#4 uhmm forced HDMI-VGA helps? hmm is the quality good enough to leave it as option if you want to use HDMI?
#3 On the 7D, as compared to Jan 7 or 30 , preallocate delay had no benefit when in comes to file splitting.
#4 forcedHDMI-VGA was used on the 5D2 before raw came in so this is useful on the field for external monitoring, though for those using external recorder not so.
BUT then ON THE 7D, they can only use this when the camera is not recording anyway since the camera would have corruption which sometimes also flashes via hdmi,
so the only way for those with external recorder to record FROM 7D is to do so ONLY on the external and not in cam.
I have tested using the external monitor to fit focus between different planes of focus while in forced hdmi-vga mode and IT IS USABLE to a degree.
this is another proof that the EDMAC is the bottleneck, even when HDMI output is enabled.
so the best fix would be dropping frames on HDMI display (somehow...) for every n-th frame.
Is it possible to lower resolution to 720 instead of 1080 60i rather than to skip frames? Or is HDMI specs is always at 1080?
Another "hidden feature" I noticed in crop mode is, when using AUTO preview, it give you proper framing but lowres, lowfps and in grayscale, But when I HALF PRESS the shutter, it gives you Higher res and in Color image.
I tested making half press during recording in crop mode to see if it affects recording like corrupting or skipping and it seems it does not. Is there a way we can also implement this as a preview option aside from a half press? Its useful when doing a slow pan and focus needs to be adjusted.
