218gb of MLV files in 12 bit becomes 456gv of uncompressed CinemaDNGs... roughly one hour (56min recording time at 25fps) of Dual ISO in 4.6k and 1440p 2.20:1 aspect ratio, 12bit lossless.

sooo... another endurance test day.... in this one we're testing 4.4k 2:1 1x3 11bit lossless Dual ISO 200/1600 and 1440p 2:1 (2560x1280) 11bit lossless Dual ISO 200/1600.... 20 mins each mode.... done. temperatures with external monitoring stayed under 50C. will post a final render video later today. PS. unfortunately i forgot my tiny key light today so the face will be dark i guess... on the other hand it gives us an opportunity to see how well the shadows recovery works with the 11bit dual iso mode... almost forgot to mention.... the battery used today was the 550 NPF small capacity and it worked well, drained roughly 50%, it powered the external monitor thru the usb-c port and the camera thru the 7.4v port using dummy battery.
