Re: Continuous Recording - Magic Lantern

Which Canon EOS DSLR is supported by Magic Lantern AND can support continuous video recording past 4GB?
 
None of them support true, seamless continuous video recording.

What they can do with Magic Lantern is restart a new 4GB recording when the first one finishes. However first the camera must stop recording, then empty the buffer to the card. Only then can the new file be automatically started, so there will be a gap of a few seconds before the new file starts.

This ML feature is available on the 550D and I believe the 60D as well.

Can anyone confirm this who has Magic Lantern?

Any 5D Mark II users with Magic Lantern can confirm if it has the ability to create a new 4GB file automatically?
 
Thats how it works with my t3i, there is about a two-three seconds that I loose. And also
the limit is 4gb or 30min. which ever comes first, when adjusting the video quality.
 
5dmkII has an entirely different Magic Lantern hack which does not have all the same features. I'm not sure exactly what it does and does not have but I don't think continuous recording is something it does.
 
ecto -- the only DSLR-form factor video-capable cameras with unlimited gap-free recording are the Panasonics. The rest (Nikon, Sony, Canon, Pentax) all have recording time limits.
