  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

DSMC v6.0.23 Release

I've been looking forward to it but unfortunately, it still does not work for me. I have the Canon Al mount, and just like in the beta, the mount refuses to communicate with my Canon lenses. When checking under "lens" it says "mount unknown". When first installing, it does say "updating Canon mount peripheral", but it does not really work. Rolling back to 5.3.25 and then reinstalling 6.0.23 without side handle, still does not solve the problem. I have read on 6.0.20 couple of people having the same issue with Canon mount... anything I'm doing wrong? Will be sending a log file to support... I would love to be able to use the stills functionality!

Thanks for the new release Red. I like using the AF Single function with Canon EF lenses but this no longer seems to work with the firmware upgrade.

Yes, AF not working properly for me either, in any mode...

ok, so after turning on and off, rediscovering, resetting, and fiddling with lenses... discovered the following:
1. lens mount will finally recognise those lenses with stabiliser (Canon 21-105mm and 70-200 1:2.8 IS II) if I turn the stabiliser OFF. It then recognises the lens, and I can then switch back to stabiliser ON and it still works. Focus control starts working as well...
2. Turning the camera off and then back on whilst on Stills mode the lens mount is not recognised, even if I turn the stabiliser off and then back on
3. On reboot, no matter what you do, at times, the lens mount is not recognised.
4. Focus slider throws everything to infinity
5. Changing lenses at times works sometimes doesn't
6. Anytime you boot, or change the lens and leave the lens on AF, it is not recognised. Started testing booting camera with lenses on AF off, thinking this was the solution. But after the camera is up and running, changing a lens, even with AF off, will still render it unreadable by the camera unless I toggle the stabiliser on and off...


So I guess that if I want to use 6.0.23 in the meantime, I have to compromise with toggling stabiliser ON and OFF and AF/M till the lenses start being recognised. Hope this info helps, plus a log of my camera and other users, to squash these little bugs...


cheers!
 
Hi Joan, I had the same issue - I powered down, removed the Canon Mount, cleaned contacts with a blower and refitted. Powered up and it fixed the issue for me. Might be worth trying this and see if it helps ?

Edit: Actually just saw your second post. Seems as though you have tried a lot of things to remedy the situation so my tip is probably not news to you !

Best wishes

Joan - thanks for sharing your workaround. It worked for me testing with a Canon 24-105mm lens.

Thanks Stewart, I had removed the lens mount on 6.0.20 but I actually haven't on this one. Will do so as well as it is still quite finicky using the EOS lenses with the whole stabilizer ON OFF and AF/M... but I got to say that I rather that work around than going back to 5.3.25! Being able to switch to Stills mode, and have a more 3:2 aspect ratio with 3:1 compression is so sweeeet!
cheers
 
A tad confused. My camera is a Scarlet MX and after update, I was asked to black shade. No problem. I haven't ever done it but easy to follow directions. My question is this. In all of the literature regarding black shading that I have, it says my camera can only save (other than to the SSD I assume) one map. However, the factory default map now appears as well as the new one. With this new firmware, may I now store more than one map?
 
Loved the beta, glad to see this as final now. Downloading and installing. :)
Thanks again for improving and giving all the time.

It has always been like this.
 
Loving this BUT a question

Loving this BUT a question

Dear Jarred

Totally loving a lot of the features on this firmware:

One question though, on the new stills mode, can we modify the framing or some other aspects of it ?

Do we need to save over the 'Stills' preset now loaded. I've just spent a bunch of time customising the stills for example I like the full 6k not the 3:2 crop. The trouble was when I updated the Preset 'Stills' I copied too much over and lost that fabulous ability to keep whatever settings I'm using in Motion re Colour temp etc.

I've noticed there is an auto save box ticked for the stills and the motion settings.

As there is an auto save function for the stills and motion presets can I just change the framing etc whilst in 'stills' and my Reds will keep these settings. Just trying to save some time by asking.

Thank you very much

Yes, by default the changes you make in one mode are for that mode only. When you switch back the other mode, the settings you last had in that mode will automatically be restored.

We implement this using the auto presets MOTION and SITLLS and the Auto Save function. Most users won't need to know or care about these presets, out of the box most settings you would expect to be separate for STILLS and MOTION modes will be handled correctly. For advanced users, you can change what set of parameters are separate between MOTION and STILLS and which are shared by adding or removing parameters to both the MOTION and STILLS presets.
 
Has anyone sent their side handle in to get the PC sync port put in? I still have the non functioning version in my grip - I'm curious what the process is to get the "gold port" put in?

Yeah, same issue here. Also not getting Aperture info from Canon CN-E Primes.

Thanks Trent

This really does make the stills meets motion much simpler then before.
