Filming RAW with the Canon 70D and Magic Lantern

[@wiktorsuchy7898]

I installed 10-12 bit ML for 70d on my canon 70d but when i get to settings i do not see RAW video (MLV) in movie settings. Do i need to enable something first or what?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

Yes, you'd need to enable the Raw video module in the modules tab and then restart.

Great video! Hello. Sorry if this has been asked before, but do you know if there's a time limit when recording RAW on the Canon 70D, and if there is: how to disable it? My guess is it could be card-dependant, currently I'm getting just under 20 seconds per clip at 10-bit RAW. But I wonder is there a setting I'm missing? If I got a faster/larger card would I be able to capture multiple minutes worth of RAW? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

They've since come out with an SD overclock module that lets you have uninterrupted recording. It's still experimental, but it works well. www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=25786.0

@@EverythingWilsonMalone Awesome! Thanks for the help and the quick reply Wilson!

[@JasonDavid9]

Does the auto focus feature work in Video Mode with the Magic Lantern software? If so can you do a video on it?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

The 70D autofocus works great with magic lantern.

how to setap raw apps my 70d body .......from bangladesh

[@charlylabs]

Great stuff! dual pixel autofocus can be used while recording raw video?

[@charlylabs]

@@EverythingWilsonMalone oh nice!! How much crop do you get?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

The crop for continuous recording is just under full HD and depends on the card you're using. Faster cards= less crop.

[@GarCorStudio]

Great stuff.

[@KurtCobain2021]

I have installed the camera firmware 1.1.3 does the ML support it? And if yes, how to install it?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

It depends on your camera. I'm thinking you need to use 1.1.2 for the 70D specifically.

[@MollywoodFilms]

Can you record sound with this?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

Yes, however to save bandwidth, it's probably better to use a separate recorder.

[@AlexanderKalish]

What is the maximal SD card write speed for 70D?

[@AlexanderKalish]

@@EverythingWilsonMalone that doesn't sound too realistic. There are, for example, SD-cards that support 65Megabytes/Sec continuous write speed, that should be enough for FullHD 24FPS 10 bit RAW because that's what the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera can do, but it's obvious that 70D can't do that. For example I own a 600D and it's max SD-card write speed is about 20Megabytes/Sec, I've tested that with Magic Lantern.

[@actorjad]

In Video mode it's around ~75 MB/s using Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I 170 MB/s and 240 MHz sd_uhs overclock. Without the overclock it's ~41 MB/s www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=25841.msg234510#msg234510

[@stealthworx4371]

How long are you able to shoot in raw? with a fast sdxc card etc?

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

I can do continuous with the image cropped. The bottleneck is writing speed.

[@theothertonydutch]

Whelp, it's not working for me for some reason. I don't get the option to change resolutions or whatever at all. :s

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

Try the 10/12 bit version builds.magiclantern.fm/experiments.html

[@EverythingWilsonMalone]

The only other thing I could think of is make sure you activate the RAW recording module in the modules tab.
