Which of the RAW save formats was used - 12 bit or 16 bit?

Chronos User Discussion / Re: Maze artifact with 1.4
« on: September 10, 2019, 02:31:09 PM »I've downloaded a few applications including GIMP and Raw Therapee to try and repair two usable shots captured earlier this year that were corrupted in this way. I'm not having any luck. Does the repair need to be performed on the raw file or each of the DNGs separately? Is there any kind of workflow description or tutorial on how to do this?
In Raw Therapee, I managed to get rid of the maze artifact using the VNG4 demosaicing selection, but it makes the image monochrome (color information is lost).
How important is it to recover the shots?
The process to recover them will be a lot of work. The python raw2dng script will need to be modified to unpack the DNG files twice - once as normal and then once with the assumption that the first pixel was lost(this messes up the colors because applications that process DNGs expect certain colored pixels to be in certain locations, and the loss of the pixel affects the location of every pixel in the image). Then manually look at each resulting frame to see which looks right and keep the good one of the two.

« on: September 03, 2019, 02:15:40 PM »Another small bug:Do you know if this only started when the screen was upgraded?
In the Util Menu, sometimes "clicking" the tabs does not change to them but only highlights them.
See the following image of an example:
"About" is selected but the "Kickstarter" Tab still displayed.

Which raw format are you saving in? If the brightness in the mp4 videos from the camera look good, the then the TIFF format should too (but not TIFF Raw)
Some changes were made to the "raw 12bit" format in software v0.3.1, but I doubt that would cause the brightness issue seen here.

Thanks, I've added this to the list of known issues as "Lag when focus peaking or zebra stripes (focus and exposure aids) are enabled"

« on: August 30, 2019, 01:55:17 PM »I just noticed a significant lag on the screen update if the overexposure-warning stripes are shown. It appears to drop down to single digit FPS and takes a few seconds to recover even after the bright spot is gone. I noticed this after the screen upgrade, but they can't possibly be related. I have not tried yet if recording is somehow affected.
If needed i can provide a video of the "slowdown" happening.
Does this still happen on v0.3.2-RC1? This and other bugs were fixed in that version: Stuttering issue on the playback window on new production LCD modules.

This package can be used to downgrade your camera back down to 0.3.1 from 0.3.2: http://forum.krontech.ca/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=460.0;attach=575
Before applying the downgrade, disable Auto Power Mode and Shipping Mode in the Util menu.
After applying the downgrade, you may want to restore your calibration data from before the upgrade to 0.3.2.

We don't have this feature in the current V0.3.1 software, but it is planned for the upcoming 0.4 update.
However, it is possible to do some similar things:
-To make the camera automatically start recording right after finishing a save, you can enable Auto Record in the Util menu.
-To record video only while holding down the trigger, you can enable Gated Burst record mode.
If you're just looking to conserve battery life, just use Auto Record - recording actually takes no more power than sitting idle.

serial should just be removed from the script. Open the script in a text editor and change the line containing the world 'serial' to:
copy_video(cam, localdir)
copy_video(cam, localdir)

The script is trying to connect to connect to '192.168.12.21' instead of '192.168.12.1'.
Was your script edited to use 21 instead of 1 for the last number?
