alecw Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Here is a demo showing how the pre-release ML firmware crop mode can increase the focal range of any lens without any loss in resolution or light when shooting full 1080 raw. I am still in shock. http://youtu.be/dQ51rE_ZUgo mtheory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreenturtle Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 This and the Cineform RAW workflow with 10x compression are the 2 killer pieces of that will make this thing really really attractive to people who are actually doing work with their cameras. The cineform makes the files manageable while retaining the advantages and the crop feature makes the lens kit more versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheory Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Awesome tutorial, Alec! Seems like at this pace of development BMPC will get its ass kicked come July. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecw Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 It seems like the possibilities are rather endless. If demand for high speed CF card drives those cards to perform significantly faster we could be working with high resolution raw video to compete with the big cameras and with features like crop mode, it resides a league of its own. Very exciting times for 5D3/2 owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheory Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 For me personally, this crop can make a significant difference in a shooting workflow if they optimize the UI further ( which they will ). I prefer to use primes instead of zooms and that slows me down. Imagine switching the crops instead of switching prime lenses on a shoot realtime with a single button for example...that's SPEED, nevermind convenience.
