Magic Lantern Improves 5D Mark III Dynamic Range to 14 Stops

The Magic Lantern team is letting the world know that they are at the beginning of a new function for the 5D Mark III and EOS 7D. Apparently they’ve figured out a way to boost dynamic range by 3 stops by using a new way of making a photograph by using ISO 100 for some of the vertical lines and ISO 1600 for the rest of it. Sounds wild to us, not sure how they’re doing that. There will be a process to combining the lines of 100/1600 ISO to give you the full resolution file.

Crazy stuff. I want to know how they are doing all this research and not charging anything for their work.

No thanks. I'm more than happy with my cameras as is. I really don't care to risk my $2800 cameras for something that I don't need.

However I do appreciate their research.

Dang, I was hoping it was a fix to AF point illumination!

Maybe hoping Canon acquires them or licenses something?

Can't wait to hear about the first person to brick their camera for something they didn't need.

Sounds great!

this method messes with the feedback loop for optical black, for example. Therefore, it’s safe to assume it can fry the sensor or do other nasty things.

Never mind.

Everything they do , thy put a disclaimer on it saying if you brick your camera they warned you.
If you are not scared they really do some amazing things, primarily in the video side of things.

I figure Canon will either squish them like a bug with a giant lawsuit or acquire them and begin divying up the features between cameras and charging a lot.

If anyone will get canons to focus like they should it'll be ML

ML has been doing this stuff pretty successfully for a good many years. Those who are worried about messing up their camera are those who are obviously not familiar with the mod world.....especially the experienced groups and individuals such as ML.

Large firms are not the only ones that has knowledge of electronics. Many of them become who they are because they acquire smaller businesses or hire individuals who know what the heck they are doing.

Admittedly I've not installed ML on any of my EOS cameras. I have always been impressed with some of their breakthroughs. There are a bit more info over at the Canon section.

14 stops of DR

However there are some caveats. It is interesting. Will be watching it. Right now the 5d3 is so darn good that I don't see any need to try this. Now if ML has a way to improve the slow SD performance I would be all over it.

Dumb question - how many stops of DR do we have now?

My film has 11-12 stops no problem
I once pushed HP5+ 13 full stops between developing, scanning and then LR adjustments.

depends .... Nikon has more than canon.

nikon is around 14 .... canon 11. then there is post processing which you can get a little more out.

I've done some of the ML mods and, while there was no harm done to my camera, I did find them quite buggy. Certainly not ready for prime time.
