    When you say "garbage", do you mean poor quality or just very low quality?

    They are garbage, not images at all.

    When you say "garbage", do you mean poor quality or just very low quality? Are they actually NEF format or are they like a tif?

  • SimeonSimeon

    Of interest, I have the live view capture working albeit 1.5fps on my D7000.

    Just files seems like garbage. :-) [Edit] Thanks for keeping the post up to date Vitaliy

    One proposal for the D7000 which would be really cool: Auto-ISO on/off using the front scroll wheel. I think the D7100 got this feature, it would be very useful if someone could backport it to the D7000. Or maybe even a quick adjustment of the lowest desired shutter speed for Auto-ISO (this would kill two birds with one stone: Quick adjustment of minimum shutter speed and Auto-ISO on/off by using a extreme low shutter speed).

    Hi Vitaliy, any chance, that you will invest your energy in a Nikon RAW-Hack?

    @Simeon

    The same file reference is present in the D5100 and other models firmware also.

    They are not fully same in all firmware images.

    Nikon 1 models have many more different debug file references.

    Also usually this is called within routine driven by one of debug flags.

    Btw, D7100 seems to have many ARM references and of you check latest Fujitsu LSI use ARM cores.

    They have the technology now - as usual they just don't want consumer cameras to effect their hi-end stuff.

    I do not agree on both statements here. And we went offtopic anyway.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Yep. They have the technology now - as usual they just don't want consumer cameras to effect their hi-end stuff.

    I like the 7100 otherwise - especially as the optical low-pass filter is removed and the sensor is highly regarded. It'll be good to see the progress on its raw capabilities even for small clips. :-)

    @driftwood

    I think with problem will be solved by major manufacturers soon :-) With the instant death of BM cameras niche.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    CF card is king as sustained writes at 1000x speeds materialise into >94MB/s writes. In the 5DMKIII it achieves this with good cards, however its sd card controller is a serious let down - just like most sd card cameras of today.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Shame the D7100's major let down is its sd card write speed.

    SD is most common card now. CF really went to niche, sometimes hard to get in distant places.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Shame the D7100's major let down is its sd card write speed - maximum RAW capabilities at 20MB/s speeds is upto 10 seconds at 1920x1080 24 fps HD despite the super fast sd cards of today ability to write well beyond the controller speeds

    Interesting news about the LiveView Raw! :) I just registered on this forum due to that find. I'm myself a D800 owner and would be very interested in any kinds of video improvements on Nikon cameras. I'll keep following this thread. I'll be happy to contribute with donations as well. Cheers for working on the Nikons :)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Vitaliy, is there any plan to add the still photography options to the d5100 in the near future such as: -advanced backeting... bigger sets, move ev stop increments -timelapse capabilities... standard timelapse, bulb ramping, star trail timelapse

    You better ask @Simeon . I just made NTool, not D5100 full reversing and D5100 patches.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    downloaded the software but it says load firmware should i download the firmware separately for the patches to come please help.

    Barely understand you. As for firmware, of course you must download it yourself from Nikon site.

  • Mario12Mario12

    i downloaded the software but it says load firmware should i download the firmware separately for the patches to come please help.

    im trying to get rid of the battery error on my d3200 when i use a third party battery grip.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    D7100 has fun string present in firmware

    A:\LvRaw%03d.raw

    If someone do not understand, it means LiveView Raw.

    Overall D7100 firmware is quite different to D7000. All menus seems to be image based now.

    Vitaliy, is there any plan to add the still photography options to the d5100 in the near future such as: -advanced backeting... bigger sets, move ev stop increments -timelapse capabilities... standard timelapse, bulb ramping, star trail timelapse | thanks in advance

  • mikusmikus

    hello, I do not speak much English, but I have understood that the patch for the d7000 is out, congratulation for your work, I m going to talk about rush on french forums, but I have not understood what all this patch gives Now you can film a 25 second picture

    in any case thank you for your work

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @ik2222

    OK, I'll look into this.

  • ik2222ik2222

    I ve tested for v1 firm1.21 and the camera refuses to recognize the "new firmware" i've named it 1.22. It is a new obstacle from nikon I think, because the camera dont even recognize the old official 1.21 in order to flash it again. Anyway, thank you for you efforts Vitaliy...

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    i have d800, is there coming something more than text patch?

    Nope, for now.

    But you could test it and let me know.
