Raw files canon 5d mark 3

And it doesn't look too warm to them. It looks awesome to them. Its looking great but I still think the BMC beats it in visual quality. The color science of the BMC is right up there in Alexa territory for me I cant say the same for any of the Canon Raw I've seen.

Its nice, nicer than the compressed canon stuff You sure talk a good game, but I think it is mostly bs. How would you know that the color science is as good as Arri? BMCC footage doesn't look anything like Arri footage. Let me guess My bet is they are rubbish - the x and udma7 are meaningless specs. Lexar are the only ones currently that I've seen with cards that write at a fast enough speed to handle the canon raw.

So even the Lexar cards are 'just' fast enough to handle the data. Which is why you are paying the big bucks. Not true - komputerbay cards are tried and work in the 1dc. However I can't vouch for their reliability long term. At such a massive price difference I think is worth giving them a try. I can vouch for the GB cards but you have to test them out first.

I'm using them to record 4k. I bought 6 of them, 2 of them wouldn't register and the third one recorded corrupted media.

The company replaces them no questions asked and the 3 that I have, have worked flawlessly for the last 8 weeks recording 4k material. That they work on your 1dc or to record 4k is completely irrelevant. The answer to both is NO so telling someone to give them a try on 5D raw because they work for you on some other obscure lowly data rate is simply a foolish recommendation. No need to get your knickers in a twist :- The Komputerbay cards are actually rated at MBs.

I would test all electronic gear before using it for a job. This is what I did. The cards that worked have continued to work flawlessly, no dropped frames, no buffering etc. Just sharing info, you're welcome. Thing is, is 14 bit really all that necessary?

Isn't 10 bit more than enough atm and for ML to focus on now rather than 14 bit which is a lot to work with for regular, budget workflows? I'm not knowledgeable on the process of coding such things, so I wouldn't know how much easier it would be, it just seems that way to me. III outputs normally. They'd probably have to put in more work and increase the load on the processor of the camera to reduce the quality. For instance, when you shoot still photos with the 5D Mk.

Or is JPEG using the camera's processor for compression? It's a bit inconvenient to only have the option of H. The JPEGs recorded by the camera are not bit, though -- they're 8-bit. So, yes, when shooting JPEG images, the camera has to use its processing power to compress the image data to a smaller size, a lower level of quality, and to perform features like noise reduction.

I agree that only having H. The raw files for this video mode aren't encoded at all before being recorded -- they're just dumps of the raw sensor data. Even regular raw still photos shot from the camera have more processing and encoding done to them than this raw video does.

Just curious I think that a 5D3 with a Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle would be a good duo, no? Someone notice some aliasing issues, the problem is that a DSRL doesn't have a low pass filter so, even if it records raw footage, aliasing remains. Must have just been his CF card because others don't seem to do it. If dropped frames ARE a common occurrence, it would make the hack unusable.

Anyone tried? I have no clue why everyone is oooh-ahhh about RAW? Viewers can't tell any difference don't give a shit from the compressed out of the camera video from all this RAW and 'grading' stuff. This may impress other shooters but it's totally meaningless for an audience. I've been in this business for over 50 years and making movies are going down hill with getting more tech, VFX than actually a good story to be told.

Can anyone please advise me of the best and fastest memory card for raw video with my EOS 5d mark3? Thank you for another excellent post. The place else may anyone get that kind of information in such an ideal approach of writing? For the reason that the admin of this web page is working, no question very shortly it will be renowned, due to its feature contents.

It's nowhere to be found in the files themselves. Luke Neumann. Luke, your shots are beautiful by the way. Nice work. Shucks, thanks. And I'm hearing a lot of negativity! Alan Hadgis. Ain't nobody got time for that! Tyler Clements.

So, how about dynamic range? With bit raw, how many stops the files can get? Rodrigo Molinsky. Just curios, are they doing this with the new firmware just released or is it the older version? The old firmware 1. Andrew Reid is inasne. Murderous impulses and reckless abandon. Well, maybe not the murderous impulses, I may have taken creative liberty there. Paul Blue. BMC has way more aliasing then 5d, what are you talking about. Maybe the aliasing in on your eyes.

The 5D Raw has absolutely no aliasing. Fresno Bob. David S. It's just people thinkng out loud. I find skeptics very benificial. I find them to be the speed bumps of innovation. Of course it will, with every year that goes by the price of media storage drops :- this largely the reason why they can do this NOW and not say when the 5DmkII was first released, cards this fast either were waaaaaaaay too expensive or simply didn't exist.

Peripheral Illumination Correction is a feature that's actually a lot simpler that it initially sounds. Basically it corrects the unwanted effects of vignetting, typically seen in wide-angle photos in the corners of the frame.

Up to 40 lenses can be programmed into the 5D Mark III, with over 80 currently available to choose from. Peripheral Illumination Correction is a useful and effective addition, particularly for JPEG shooters, and can safely be left turned on all of the time.

Even more useful, especially if you have a number of older lenses, is the AF Microadjustment feature that has trickled down from the pro DSLRs. This allows you to alter the focus of each lens, then use a focusing target to test if the lens focuses correctly, and if it doesn't, alter it slightly using the AF Adjustment option, then test again until perfect focus is achieved. With most other DSLR systems you'd have to send the camera and lens off for calibration and maybe even have to pay for it , but with the 5D Mark III, you can calibrate all of your lenses in the comfort of your own home up to 20 lenses can be stored in the camera.

The EOS 5D Mark III features a new silent shooting mode that reduces the sound of both the shutter and mirror, perfect for situations where you don't want to draw unwanted attention to yourself. A continuous silent mode is also available, although its at a slower rate of 3fps than the headline 6fps mode. More information about a captured image can be seen on the LCD by pressing the Info button, which brings up a brightness image histogram and all the shooting Exif data, including shutter speed and the time and date it was captured, with a second press displaying an additional RGB histogram.

It is simple to get a closer look at an image as you can zoom in up to 15 times, and it is also possible to view pictures in a set of nine contact sheet. Pressing the Creative Photo button displays two images side-by-side to allow you to compare the quality of different exposures on the camera.

You can also delete an image, rotate an image, view a slideshow, protect images so that they cannot be deleted, and set various printing options. Unlike some competitors, there are no digital styles or effects that can be applied to an image after it has been taken - the more subtle Picture Styles are the only way of tweaking your JPEGs in-camera, before they are captured.

In-camera image rating via a new dedicated button on the rear makes it easy to organise your images ahead of post-production, with the rating maintained in IPTC-friendly software.

Admittedly, photographers who've graduated to a camera like this one will almost certainly have chosen image browsing and editing software already, so they won't need the basic image browsing program included here, but there's more than that. This is a big bonus, because other makers don't always include such good RAW conversion software. Digital Photo Professional certainly isn't the best RAW converter on the market, but importantly does mimic the camera's Picture Styles 'retrospectively'.

In addition the supplied Picture Style Editor software can be used to create custom Picture Styles on your computer instead of in-camera. Canon are due to release an update in mid-April. All of the sample images in this Review were taken using the 22 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 7Mb. The faster settings of , and display relatively little noise, with ISO suitable for small prints and web images and the fastest setting of best reserved for emergenices.

The JPEG images were a little soft straight out of the camera using the default Picture Style and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting. The night photograph was very good, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds and Bulb mode allowing you to capture enough light in all situations.

The HDR mode combines three images taken at different exposures to create a single image with greater dynamic range, plus it offers natural and more artistic looks. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop.

The out-of-the camera images at the default setting are a little soft and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. Alternatively you can change the in-camera sharpening level if you don't like the default results. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds and there's a Bulb mode for even longer exposures, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography.

Turning it on didn't make a great deal of difference in our test shot, as shown below. This setting promises to automatically correct the brightness and contrast of an image, with three levels of varying intensity available. There was a slight difference between the weakest and strongest settings, as shown below.

Note that the user guide warns that this setting might cause noise to increase at higher ISO speeds. This new setting allows you to combine up to 9 images into a single composite image, with a range of different ways to blend them together. Here's an example with two images combined. The HDR mode combines three images taken at different exposures to create a single image with greater dynamic range, with natural and more artistic looks also on offer.

Canon's Picture Controls, similarly to Nikon's Picture Styles, are preset combinations of different sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone settings. The six available Picture Controls are shown below in the following series, which demonstrates the differences. There are also three User Defined styes so that you can create your own look.

The thumbnails below link to the full-sized versions, which have not been altered in any way. This is a sample movie at the highest quality setting of x at 25 frames per second. Please note that this 23 second movie is The Canon EOS 5D Mark III builds on the success of its popular predecessor with a series of improvements that add up to a much better all-round camera for stills and video alike.

As far as I know, the camera settings have no impact on the actual image data captured in the RAW file. But, the settings can and do impact the embedded JPEG within the file. Once you load the file into LR, it will generate its' own preview image and save those within the LR catalog.

All other settings besides exposure have no affect on the RAW file. However, Adobe does not bother to decode all that data, and just tries to give you the RAW file it thinks best. You take it from there. None of the settings you set in the camera are "ignored", all the settings are used to produce the Raw preview image in LR. Also the histogram is stored but remember most settings can be changed in LR without quality loss. These settings are stored in a metadata file embedded in the Raw file.

The settings that effect light hitting the sensor such as the aperture and SS are saved and are set at shooting time. That can't be changed later in LR. The WB set in camera is used by the Raw conversion in LR but can be overridden in post processing again without any quality loss. Picture style is used by the Raw conversion in LR and can also be changed post processing with no quality loss. The real bottom line is the extended flexibility that Raw offers. Get the exposure correct and the rest is good.

It isn't like the camera settings has nor affect on the image. It does, it is just that this extended latitude offers more ability to edit with out IQ loss. You are always going to start off with the settings you selected in the camera. LR and all third party Raw converters, you can't view a Raw file , use their own algorithms to do the conversion so you can even see the image. DPP is the only editor that uses Canon's own routine.

Some, myself included, like Adobe's routine better. As a matter of fact so does the rest of the entire industry as Adobe is the standard. This ranks as one of the best word salads that I have ever seen Ernie create. Technobabble at its' best. I hope you liked it and you learned from it since Raw seems so misunderstood.

It isn't a fully correct statement to say Raw does not affect the image. I don't think this is correct - to the best of my knowledge Lightroom doesn't recognize the Picture Style set in camera when working with a RAW file. Best way to demonstrate that is shoot a monochrome image in camera. It will be color in LR. Lightroom doesn't recognize any noise reduction or lens corrections set in camera, and, if one is always shooting RAW, disabling the in-camera corrections is recommended since the in-camera number crunching, especially with DLO, can slow down shooting speed.

The camera takes a second shot with the shutter closed and subtracts that file from the original, thereby reducing the noise effect from sensor heating. When you import into LR the very first thumbnails that you see appear are the embedded jpg metada stored in your Raw file. All the settings you had in your camera. The jpg thumbnails are automatically generated by your camera and based only on your camera's settings, LR at this instant has no effect.

After import and depending on your LR preview settings, LR will generate a jpg and preview based upon what it sees in the metdata.
