7D raw buffers cracked by Magic Lantern.

[Ted Ramasola]

Alex of magic latern announced that he found the raw buffers on the 7D and he got silent pics to work.

To recall this follows the path of development on the 5Ds, first it was silent raw pics that record in bursts which eventually became continuous recording of raw onto the CF.

Looks like its looking up for this dual digic beast.

Update.

ML devs scrambling to compile raw_rec module. Hold your breath....

 

[Ted Ramasola]

BOOYAAH!

7D now recording RAW video continuously no longer in bursts.

Testing first versions of raw_rec module now.

 

[Ted Ramasola]

UPDATE!!

7D now near being fully functional raw recording.

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

1728 x 972
16:9 = Continuous recording

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



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

I want to test this stuff out but at the same time afraid lol.

Could this have an effect on the buffer while shooting stills?

I don't know but I can test it for you Jordan.
Whats the max burst on the largest raw setting on the 7D without magic lantern?

Or do you have a setting in mind you want me to try out?

 

[Jordan_S]

What speed is your card, Ted?

If you can do better than a burst of 22 RAW files that need 11 seconds to write, that will be an improvement even if you're using a 90MB/sec. card.

 

[Ted Ramasola]

Ok,
In photo mode, I set raw at largest setting. Set drive to hi. at one burst i got 27 cr2 images at 24.6 mb each.

In live view mode you can use silent picture mode and take a burst of 41 DNG images at 3.96 mb each frame.

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

 

[Ted Ramasola]

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.
