[WONTFIX] Recording 1 frame of a video on a button press.

[ItsMeLenny]

Essentially stop motion in camera;
Start a normal h.264 recording, it records nothing, press the "ok" button, it records a frame, press it again it records the next frame, so on and so forth.

Just take photos and use after effects or QuickTime to export as video?

Use silent pics.

Obviously, but for timing animation that just makes it a long winded hassle.

Use silent pics.

Last I tried silent pics were pretty terrible in the 550D.

Yeah, so terrible that a lot of bloggers (PetaPixel, Engadget, dpreview) are crazy about them...

That's raw video not silent pics?
Aren't silent pics the 4:2:2 mjpegs?

I'll check it out regardless, but still wasn't what I was after.
I'll probably just use a webcam.

Thanks anyway.

Silent pics are now raw DNG's.
