lol let me just go jump right on that firmware update. Really useful stuff!

 

[Josh Denver]

Before all the snarky hating comments I want to post a normal comment:

If they are developing and releasing a whole worldwide firmware upgrade for every 5D sold to install using a computer, then Canon engineers who designed the camera/s seem to be very serious about Digital Lens Optimization technology. They're trying to digitally remove actual optical effects in the raw files? I don't have a 5DIV so please someone enlighten us how good or bad DLO is especially since is slows down the camera to half...

What does it do and how does it do it? Samples?

Or maybe they're handing Magic Lantern a way in.

It has a few undocumented features as well:
1. It adds a 100 more AF points, all dual cross type, AF @ F/8 + 2 dedicated Digic 6+ processors to handle this stuff.
2. It removes the AA filter and adds 90 more megapixels and 10 more stops of DR.

I'm not sure if it was my playing around under the hood to tweak the JPEGs or the firmware update, but they suddenly look a lot better.


Less smoothing and more goodness.

LOL. I wasn't initially happy with the JPEGs I was getting, though I loved the RAW images. I don't know which of the two tweaks fixed the problem, but I'm MUCH happier with the JPEGs.

did you turn NR off and Fine Picture Detail on?

I was using Fine Detail already, but I did turn off every kind of NR I could find. Something made a difference.

I've been a bit confused about DLO... does it absolutely change the actual data of the RAW files when turned on? As in, will a .CR2 opened in Lightroom have DLO fully baked in? I'm assuming SOMEthing must be going on to slow the camera down so much, but I don't want it to simply be applying it to the preview.

I started my current project in DPP with finishing in Photoshop and love using the DLO in post. Future projects I would like to go back to Lightroom though. Don't mind taking the fps hit as I do food photography and don't need the speed.

Hopefully Lightroom gets support for the Fine Detail profile soon though, as I'm also loving that.

Possibly silly question but I am asking anyway since I do not have a 5D4 to test myself:
Can you set it to Raw only (no jpegs at all) and turn DLO on at the same time ? Then if it slows the fps it is somehow baking the Raw files indeed....

 

[Alex_M]

Not necessarily so as the camera still has to build JPEGs for on-camera screen previews. Whether the DLO is applied to the on-screen previews or not remains to be seen though.

what were the lenses and settings

 

[tron]

I do not believe it is necessary all the times. After all there are many lenses and some of them are really good.

Hi everyone,

Not a a breaking news, but I just checked my 5D4, the firmware is already v1.02. The box has a label indicating 20160906, I assume this is the production date.

Apparently this firmware is ready for a few weeks already. Anybody else in the same situation?

I got mine a week after release and it had version 1.01. Upgraded yesterday, a long 5 minutes. Little disappointing that DLO still slows the frame rate way down.

In general or for these particular shots?
