thank you @heart0less!!

i dowloaded and unzipped. when you say format the card in camera, that means im completely reinstalling magic lantern? or do i drop it in an existing ML folder on the memory card?

Drop the existing folders. Then you have to load the module, once you have it loaded (maybe restart camera) it will appear in the movie menu (magic lantern menu)

-edit- I never format and reflash the camera, I just copy the new files and replace the stuff on the card, am I doing it wrong?

R mount, pretty exciting lenses Long Flange distance can't compete.

Hopefully EOS RP’s 24MP sensor will have similar or better RS performance to other 24MP cameras (A7III/Z6) as it probably won’t supersample. 

 

Neither does the EOS R, canon sensors are just too damn slow.

I didn’t see 10 bit on that list. Will DPAF work in 4K? I wouldn’t jump the gun just yet to assume it’s going to be better than the R for video.

Because $2300 body only is soooo cheap? They should give them away as prizes in children’s cereal boxes.

Huh? The rumor is saying something about 1300$. I paid that for a crappy nikon d7000 back in 2010.

I think this Camera is going to sell very good.

I think this looks like a very nice beginner cam for girls who want to upload Portraits to instagram. The only Problem I see is the lens lineup right now (expensive lens, cheap body), strange timing

That would be a huge plus for me. One of the benefits of RAW is it usually means 14 bit (if the sensor is a 14 bit sensor) but if we had 14 bit cineform or whatever codec it kind of negates that benefit. That would probably make me buy it lol. Kind of doubt they are going to innovate that much though. 

The Benefit of raw is that there is no debayering, so there is no Fake Information taking up bandwith. 

In raw it's 14bit per Pixel, not per color channel per pixel.

You can count with the stretched preview but also with a slow one that let's you Frame correctly. You can have both, and actívate the Slow one with half shutter presses.

Yeah but if you Have to lock off every shot you do that is pretty damn limiting. You might as well use it as a Photo camera, which by the way it sort of is. I was thinking of buying one, but with all the latest evidence this thing seems to have a damn under powered processor in it, no surprise. So that means to me it is Never going to be so hot when it is limping along even in a format lesser than1080p.

 

the 1080p mode works fine, it's the 4K mode that has terrible rolling shutter.

So no highlights or under control underexposing a bit, no pinkframes?

What's the percentage average you get with along of usable footage you are able to find in the end going on 1504x1920 1x3 binning mode?

And what's the safest highest resolution for 2.35:1 continuous 24p or 25p?

The safest is to try oneself, I would rather shoot lower res than to underexpose, because the little camera gives bad colors,etc.. when underexposed. But the RS is so bad, you don't want to use this for anything other than static landscape shots. I think it's a good alternative for when the standard 3x3 binning mode struggles with aliasing (landscape shots)

Btw, could anyone share a compiled MLV version, I can't compile it and the latest official compiled exe doesn't have the stretch options to oversample. Thanks!!! Windows and/or Mac OSX

That makes sense, thanks for letting me know! I've tried the 2.35:1 ratio preset recording at 1504x1920 but I'm getting quite a few pink frames unfortunately. 

I'm getting pinkframes when the buffer is running low and that usually happens when a lot of highlights are in the scene because data increases a lot.

With the latest build Danne posted the max resolution that I can set is 1184x2000 (i.e. 3552x2000) in 1x3 mode - I don't know why, maybe beyond that it becomes too unstable and he set that limit, or maybe I'm doing something wrong - but for me it's a nice resolution, it comes out exactly as 16:9 aspect ratio.

When you use the ratio presets it reduces resolution. Danne went for resolutions that  are stable. If you turn off the ratio setting in the crop module it will record full resolution.

Here some sample from a video where I accidentally pressed record while testing ML raw 50fps

Haha, ok so what you are saying is: I can blame the camera, or me for doing pans. Great. Can't wait to get my hands on RAW then.

One more question if you shoot 4k and pan and then convert to 1080p would this make it less shit?

Cheers.

I don't think so, but motion judder is less evident on small screens, that's why while I'm filming on the d800 everything looks great, but once I open it on my computer I have to puke because of what nikon does with it's crappy codec.

You could buy an eos m for 80€ and try raw, looks pretty good if you aim for 1080p.

I've always asked me the same, and it's true, in RAW footage the motion blur looks really epic, I often find myself admiring and extracting blur Frames out of sequences.

No real answer but I find that following the 180 degree shutter rule and recording raw Never looks choppy no matter how Hard the Pans are.

What do you mean?

Today shooting some stuff at the beach I noticed that in 1x3 1500x1920 if the shot has a lot of highlights you have to underexpose a little bit because the compression doesn't like highlights.

Questions:

Is that the new build you're using?  Is the 3x3 continuous recording in 10-bit or is it the 1x3 10-bit?

It's the build I posted before (17th January). 3x3 is continuos with 14bit lossless. 1x3 only Works fine with 10bits But it depends on the shot.

Also better for focusing too. 

Any chance you could share a clip with this setting? Seems like the most usable if it has accurate live view. 

I will record something tomorrow. But the preview is pixelated, you can't really focus with that. Before recording you can activate a better mode that lags a lot but gives a real quality preview, so if you are fine with focusing before the shot...

Update: Ok, it was too good to be true, the 4K cropped mode 1:1 is 9fps ?

I've also tried 1:1 4032x2268 Crop mode which is basically m43 sensor area. With 10bit it's continous, with global draw on it will give a black and white preview for accurate framing while recording. Pretty impressive, I thought 2k was amazing back in the 50d times, but this...

@mercer

That's with the eos-m. I've been thinking about getting a 5D3 though, but have yet to find a decent enough deal over here.

The 1x3 binning mode must be pretty impressive on the 5Dmkiii, but I can't find any info on the ml forum, do you know if it works? and at which resolutions?

Is there any crop involved?

Just now, mercer said:

@Nikkor how is LiveView with those settings?

Horrible,stretched, wrong framing, but you can judge exposure and focus

Beautiful... : ) Dropped frames?

I don't think so, but haven't really recorded anything meaningful or long so can't tell.

What build?

Latest Danne thing

https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9741.msg208959#msg208959

You need SD hacks turned on, and in the crop menu you have to choose 1x3 mode, 10bit and 2.35 crop Works continuous. Can't really judge the sharpness because the only adapter I have is that crappy chinese speedbooster, but it looks very cinematic. I think the detail level is something around 2.5-2K without binning artifacts you usually get with 2K raw from the 5D.

What's the highest resolution you can record continuously? How's the rolling shutter in that setting? Does it also record audio from a mic?

So I managed to record 2.35:1 on 10bit with 1500x1920 continuous!!! which results in 4500x1920 I have no idea how audio works, will have to look into it. The rolling shutter is bad... Don't have anything to compare to right now.

Lol, this little crappy camera is crazy.
