gaps in restarting recording 60D with Magic Lantern-gap size related to card speed?

[mark.farnell]

A previous entry in this forum says Magic lantern can automate restarting of video recording, but will have a gap of "2-3 seconds".

However is this gap related to card speed? I have the fastest card available - SDHC Class 10.

Will this make the gap shorter?

I plan to record classical music concerts, where the gap can be no longer than 1/2s.

Thanks!

It's not possible to make the gap smaller (it may be related to card speed or bitrate, but not much).

But you can record without gaps for 30 minutes (with a 4 GB limit).

so is it true that even if I insert an SDXC card formatted with exFAT, the 4GB limit still does not go away?

So the only way to remove the gap is to use a third-party firmware (which I am extremely reluctant to do)?

As far as I know, the only way to record continuously for up to 30 minutes (or 4 GB) on Canons is with Magic Lantern (which is a firmware addon, it does not replace the main firmware, just runs in parallel with it).

For automatic recording restart every 12 minutes you can also check this: http://controlyourcamera.blogspot.com/2010/01/automatically-resume-video-shooting-on.html

With EXFAT cards you still have the 4 GB limit.
