This avoids the bad to edit and re-crunch h264 the camera records by default. Some may believe you can go clean out of the camera hdmi output to an external device and get an image off the censor at a 10-bit resolution, but sadly Canon restricted this, so the hdmi out is still 8-bit but you do get the advantage of going straight to ProRes or DNG with something like the Atomos recorders such as the Shogun or Ninja 2. You can also shoot HDR video! Clean HDMI Out Video from Canon 5D Mk III Shooting video you also have handy focus peaking, zebras, crops, overlays, false colour, RGB histogram with RAW support, waveform, vectorscope, magic zoom (you can record video at 3x zoom, which on a 200mm lens effectively gives you 600mm (check that out nature shooters!). You record to fast SD/CF cards, with the data chewing up 8 gig a minute! What does Magic Lantern do?Īmongst a host of features for both video and photography, that are not available in the Canon firmware the camera ships with (see the Magic Lantern web site) our focus of interest is the fact that shooting video bypasses the camera compression (h264) and allows capture straight from the censor at a wide dynamic range in 14-bit RAW format. Metech is actually situated just 100 yards away from the 'A' Stage, should our projects require its use we have reduced hire rates.
The still images at the end are stretched in most cases due to being supplied web size files, however, worth putting in due to their important content! Video Note There is one Phantom 3 quadcopter shot which is the camera onboard and not Magic Lantern video. Of course YouTube has compressed the video but the advantage of using Magic Lantern is quite clear when compared to the standard DSLR h264 that the camera exports.

We found problems with certain builds and eventually settled on one that has been very stable - 30th May 15. The ' Nightly Builds' available for download on the Magic Lantern web site will give you the very latest features but as mentioned come with some potential risks. Earlier versions of Magic Lantern are considered to be more stable but leave a boot flag on the camera. Luckily, the latest versions of the Magic Lantern Firmware allow you to, using a separate SD/CF card in your camera, load and remove this system, re-instating the original Canon firmware if required. Installing this firmware could (although very unlikely) leave your camera in a locked, useless state.
The firmware is not endorsed nor supported by Canon and users temporarily overwrite the camera software with this alternative at their own risk.
Querying data from tables – introduces you to various methods for querying data from tables.Connecting to an SQLite3 database – shows you how to connect to an in-memory database or a file-based database.To understand how the sqlite3 module works, you can use the following tutorials in sequence: Control the query execution flow, supporting both serialized and parallel modes.The sqlite3 module is actively maintained and provides a rich set of features: In addition, you will learn how to execute SQL statements in serialized mode or in parallel mode.
After the tutorial, you will know how to open a database connection and perform common database operations such as select, insert, update, and delete. In this section, you will learn how to interact with SQLite databases from a Node.js application using the sqlite3 module.
