Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Ted, can you tell me if the 7d can output clean video thru the HDMI port.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Using Magic Lantern I can turn off all overlays.

So on my external hdmi monitor only the pillar box is shown. The semi transparent letterbox is also removed.
Even when recording (h264) the red dot is not shown.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

You had me at, "... I can turn off all overlays."

(I could also use a built-in intervalometer.)

Talk about Christmas coming early! This is a ML hack I can't wait to try out.

I'd be looking around here to buy a used 7D, if I didn't already have one.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Yes, intervalometer now built in. :)

And you can experiment with the dual iso trick. Extends the dynamic range of the image greatly. Photos only for now. Hopefully they can add this to the raw_rec module.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Continuous Raw Recording on the 7D is now possible.
For now these are the resolutions that are continuous using 1000x cf card

24P & 30P
1728 x 576
1600 x 534
1472 x 626
1344 x 610
1280 x 582
1152 x 622

60P
1728 x 308
1600 x 382
1472 x 420
1344 x 436
1280 x 486
1152 x 464

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

UPDATE!!

7D now near being fully functional raw recording.

Just tested a module compiled by an ML programmer named BRUNONIKO.

at 24P using 1000x cf card.

in 24P

1728 x 972 16:9 = Continuous

in Crop mode which is 30P since there is still no FPS over ride.

2152 x 1200 2.09:1 = 97

1920 x 1080 16:9 = 201

1728 x 736 2.35:1 =Continuous

1600 x 800 2:1 = Continuous

in 60P

1728 x 412 3:1 = 449

1600 x 382 3:1 = 2,610

1472 x 350 3:1 = Continuous

1280 X 416 2.20:1 = Continuous

Now full color realtime preview in liveview
(previously it freezes and has to be in grayscale)

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Hi Ted,

just wondering about the 60p modes - what options are there for 16:9? Does the 7D have the wierd pixel aspect ratio at 60p like the 5DmkIII does?

Thanks for the updates so far, I was losing track of the thread on the Magic Lantern forum!

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Hi John,

For now, I'm not getting a decent resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio.

What gives me continuous recording with the highest in vertical is 1280 x 416.

1728 x 412 gives approx 933 frames.

And yes, the pixel aspect is still squished.

I think one should use this for short effect purposes only.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

The latest update for 7D (oct 28), now you can playback Raw Video in COLOR in-camera.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Just to add an update, the last couple of builds right up to the latest Nov. 3, the RAW Video in-camera playback is also improved.

After choosing file to view for playback, pressing SET starts the playback.

Press Pic Styles to show Controls, PLAY, PAUSE, HI(in color but slow),LO(grayscale faster) USE SET to SELECT.

Press Pic Styles again to remove Controls from screen. Press HALF Shutter to STOP Preview.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Ted,

Can you share the link on where to get the latest build?

Thanks in advance,

Dano

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Dano,

Assuming you have already bootflaged your camera using the guide previously posted here,
HOW TO: A guide to installing ML on the 7D with recent features

Continue following daily updates by just replacing the files in your CF from here:
index · styled with h5ai 0.24.0 (http://larsjung.de/h5ai/)

Different developers are maintaining the compiles for different camera models.
This fork is still being merged into the unified ML so for the 7D, follow that ling maintained by developer called 1%.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

ted-

two questions:

will the ml hack work for the canon eos-m?

does ml work on the mac platform?

thanks in advance for any info you can share.

be well.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Been using ML with my 7D on and off and figure I should mention it.

Do NOT ML with a bitrate hack (let alone raw) and an external HDMI monitor. You will get cloned frames from the processors maxing out and catching up

e.g. 1-2-3-4-4-4-7-8-9

Just FYI. Had to bring that footage into AE and interpolate the frames in between and re-export my masters. Wasnt something I was looking to deal with that day.

Re: 7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern
 

Boy would it be nice to shoot ProRes on my 7D without making the leap to RAW. My system can't handle RAW...

Ignorant question: While RAW looks superb compared to H.264, but some of us have need of something better than h.264, but not necessarily as robust as RAW. For this reason I am considering the BMCC just to shoot ProRes (not RAW). Is there something in between???
