I’m sure in many typical usage scenarios, the benefits will far outweigh any disadvantages.
#MAGIC LANTERN CANON 5D MARK 3 ISO#
Regarding any minor resolution decreases that are supposed to accompany this feature, I think that is a moot point… the footage wouldn’t even be usable in my test scenario without the Dual ISO feature (short of lighting the scene properly). But when you are unable to properly light a scene to even out the exposure, the Dual ISO feature allows you to bring up the shadows in post significantly with very little increase in noise. Clearly, many scenes won’t exhibit the level of moire/aliasing shown in this test, so one just has to be mindful of the content of your scene and weigh that against the need to retain both highlight and shadow information when the dynamic range of the scene if greater than 12 stops. Re-installing Canon firmware will not remove Magic Lantern. On 5D Mark II and 50D, enable LiveView shooting.

Dont forget these: On 550D/60D/600D, enable manual video exposure. But it does come at the cost of increased moire/aliasing, something which Alex from Magic Lantern clearly indicates in his technical documents describing the new feature. Go to Canon menus and restore your preferences. Without Dual ISO the footage would have been unusable. The reduction of shadow noise is dramatic to say the least. Bright light in a dim room room including fabric textures to help reveal moire. This test was designed to be a worst case scenario.

Postprocessing via Adobe Camera Raw using identical settings for both Normal Raw and Dual ISO shots…Īll other settings were at 0 or default valuesĮxported via After Effects to intermediate AVI files (Cineform 444 Filmscan 1)Įdited in Premiere Pro CS6 and rendered to H.264 1080p (10Mbps). Raw was converted to DNGs using the newest rawtodng.exe. Shot handheld to reveal any moire or aliasing which may increase using Dual ISO feature. UPDATE: Just added an additional comparison of Dual ISO footage vs Normal Raw “Denoised” /70511941Ĭamera: 5D Mark III (shot 24fps at 1080p)įootage was shot in a dimly lit room with both a tungsten lamp and dark areas in the frame. This is not a scientific test but just rather something to give people an idea of the quality improvements to Raw video using this new feature. magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7139.0 If you own a Canon camera with wifi capabilities, which is basically everything newer than a Canon 5D Mark III (even the new entry-level Rebel T6 has it), you have the ability to transfer raw photos directly from your camera’s memory card to the camera roll on your phone If you still get err 99 and it is a valuable lens, send it in for.

Description and setup after the break.Ī test of the new Magic Lantern feature “Dual ISO” in raw video mode. Michael Anthony (source: planet5d) produced a test video that compares RAW output and Magic Lantern Dual ISO output on a Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Dual ISO means that half of the sensor lines are sampled at ISO 100, the other half at ISO 1600. Yesterday I reported about the latest achievement of the Magic Lantern team: a hack that allows to obtain 14 stops of dynamic range (3 more than usual), using a a sampling method dubbed “Dual ISO”. : 1 to 50 of 58 total records.
