Canon 7D Mark I

[Walter Schulz]

Go to http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Official_Canon_firmware_updates and download firmware version 2.0.3 and install it. It's possible that your 2.0.3 differs a bit. Sorry for the bad pun but I'm told such things happened.
If this doesn't help: Have you tried to reset the cam to factory defaults (including Fn)?

[combat squirrel]

Ok done, and nothing works , new firmware, tried, no go, reset all, no go, nothing

What's happening here?, is it 'safe' to change the file name ?

[combat squirrel]

Just tried again and it worked,  random, but pleased! lol

Iirc you must use a cf card 8 GB or smaller to install ML. Mine worked the first time I tried it and was using a Lexar 8 GB 200x.

[Walter Schulz]

Limit was(!) 32 GB and today with built-in installer the sky is the limit.
4 GByte was a CardTrick limit.

hi guys,

i got a question relating cropmode 3x/5x in raw video. Would it be possible to bind a camera key to a function which toggles the 5x preview from canon to 3x grayscale preview? In my opinion it would really speed up the exposure, framing and setting up the focus.

[vyskocil]

Yes, that 2  features are very important and needed very bad.


Essential features not yet implemented.
1. FPS over ride

Last week I back ported FPS over ride in RAW rec mode (not H264) from TL, I pushed a pull request to the main that await validation.

[arrinkiiii]

Yes, i saw that, THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!   Why it's taking so much time to validation?  The dev's need to try the code first? 


Do you think back porting the audio also?

Yes.

I'll try to look at it but before that I need to figured out how this work in hardware... Do I need to build a custom audio cable ?

[arrinkiiii]

Uhmmmm i hear some people use the AV cable for the headphone and others use this "special cable" that you can buy or make one. I think someone here in the forum can tell you better then me, don't use so much the sound from camera... but i want =))

Anyone?

[idealsceneprod]

The Canon 7D ships with a AV cable, which looks almost like a mini-firewire on one end, and has analog video and audio plugs on the other.

But that is to send audio out, to headphones or the like.

To record audio with RAW footage, I think you have to use the MLV module.

Are these the correct instructions for installing on the 7D?

[Walter Schulz]

Close enough. Give it a try.

1. Download latest nightly build and expand contents to card.
2. Run firmware upgrade from Canon menu
3. Restart cam before 30 second timeout

32 GByte restriction doesn't apply anymore.

The "special" cable from sescom sold by BH is $44 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/765530-REG/Sescom_DSLR_550D_HOCF_DSLR_550D_HOCF_AV_Out_Headphone.html

So I used the usb av out cable that comes with the camera.
You can buy an rca to mini phone jack cable like this, http://www.rakuten.com/prod/c2g-6in-value-series-one-3-5mm-stereo-female-to-two-rca-stereo-male-y/208181495.html?listingId=231860064&scid=pla_google_BisonOffice&adid=18165&gclid=CIvIufzu1L0CFSsQ7AodF0sAyg

What I did was cut off the rca from both cables and soldered them into a short compact adapter for use with my headphones.

Hi guys,
Good contact to you all after being reading about all the amazing progress of the 7D Raw for the last months. I need some help. Is there any way to avoid the below issue with red dot when shooting Raw? My 7D has no issues with death pixels (just came from Canon...which I sent to make sure). I have tried different builds and all imaginable settings of ML and camera itself, and the red dot still there. Any idea how I could fix that, or I am just the blessing one to have a 7D to happen to show that problem? I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Hey guys, I finally got the balls to upgrade from the alpha 2 to the latest nightly build and it seems to work like a charm, though I can't seem to find the GOP setting (to allow all-I frames). I did some searching on the forum, but that trail just seems to end. Is it no longer there (or not yet?) or am I looking in the wrong place?

[arrinkiiii]

It's not working, yet....

[Walter Schulz]

Yet?
Is there a developer working on GOP/ALL-I?

[bumkicho]

"Failed to create file. Card full?" What does this message mean? Today I wanted to see how long it would continuously record to 128gb CF card since I never shoot continuously longer than 4-5 minutes at a time and I was curious. After first 10 minutes or so, it stopped recording with this message so I turned it off and back on to try again and it stopped after around 10 minutes with the exact same message. Does anyone know what it is?

[beastmode]

i hope everyone is aware of LYTRO ILLUM??

probably we can expect that with ML

[Evil Flip]

It's not working, yet....

Thanx for the update, I hope it comes back soon.

Hi guys,

I was really happy with ML on my 7D. But unfortunatly I gave it to a CPS partner to check the AF with my 70-200 on the 7D. Now I have the 2.0.5 firmware running and therefore no ML possible.

Is it possible to downgrade to 2.0.3(with Linux)? I found something online but it requires Windows, but I have no Windows avaible until next week.

Any hints? Thanks

[tonybeccar]

Hey all! Been away from a while.. is the ML build up to date to the Tragic Lantern build? Or are still some features missing?

Thanks!

Download http://pel.hu/down/eos7d-v203-win.zip from http://pel.hu/getpage.php?pg=eoscard
It's just a zip compressed file containing the FIR you have to copy to your card. Run Canon's firmware upgrade process to downgrade to 2.0.3. Sounds funny but works.

Ciao
