Hey guys, I finally got some time to continue testing ML on my 7D. Here are a few observations:
Recording at 1728x972 works continuously at both 24 and 25 fps with a 64GB KomputerBay 1000x CF card. This is good! However, if I have global draw enabled during recording, I get corrupted frames every now and then. Also, if I have software focus peaking enabled, I can't record continuously. It this because software peaking is sucking up too much CPU?
DIGIC peaking (hardware peaking?) works great, and allows me to record continuously at 972p while it's on. I'd like to use the edge detect peaking variant, but don't want it enabled all the time -- only for checking focus. I can half-press to get back my preview, but what I'd really like is to invert this behavior. In other words, half-press turns on DIGIC peaking.
I can record for a while (not continuous, unfortunately) at 50p at scope-ish aspect ratios. However, there is some bad aliasing with red/blue shifts. It's the same type of aliasing you notice with an unmodified Canon DSLR prior to the 5D Mark III. This doesn't seem to be an issue when recording up to 30p. Why only 50p and up?
Looking good so far. I almost feel comfortable using this on a shoot! I'd be interested in seeing how well RAW 5D3 and 7D cut together.
