    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    This is an experimental V6.9 for Type B only, just to user with the darkening image. I might fix the issue, and/or it displaying some of the white balance and exposure settings to help debug it.

    Thank you the for video. I think there might be an exposure bias in the non-volatile memory. V6.8 using extra memory locations to store green tint and exposure bias. The firmware assumes these location are zero as initial condition, but what if they weren't. I will work on a variation to...

    I'm still not seeing any exposure errors with 6.8.

    It is the film not, the scanner or firmware, that is getting dark, as the scanner exposure is not changing. The exposure is not changing as the weights are sampled from these pixels in yellow: So it is sampling pixel to the right of the film, preventing a change the re-expose. This far out...

    When there are dark, what does the histogram show? It is also dark? I think you will have to run different firmware until I can display the settings on screen, as right now only the histogram is the feedback, and it drives the exposure.

    Anybody else seeing this? Particularly anyone with a serial port. Adding the serial port is not easy. The behavior is not the same here, so not much I can do until it can be repeated.

    Are you scanning 8mm or Super8? I'm wonder if the socket is effecting the exposure. More worrying if the exposure is crashing, but that needs a serial port to know. Anything else seeing this?

    Is working on TypeB as that is what I did the development on. I will have to try German to see if that breaks it. P.S. Green WB control is working in German also, tested on Type B. Sent me a picture of you histogram

    I used Super8 in a recent 48 hour film project (make a movie with a genre pulled from a hat in weekend.) We pulled genre "Road Movie". I shot Ektachrome, developed it at home, as scanned with v6.8. While some of the "Super8" moments had to be faked, the opening scene and the pizza scene are...

    These a long presses, at about one second, I was trying to avoid accidental white balance change. The new 6.6 / 6.8 firmware doesn't have Exp, but now have White Balance, and -1.5 for White balance is very blue shifted. Make sure you set the Red-Blue white balance correctly, as you same image...

    Can you show me how dark your images are, compared to where you would like them? The exposure is both trying to avoid constant changes, as well as preserving highlights. Unfortunately the logic is very simple. There is EV bias added in 6.8, I just hadn't mentioned it as it is untested. Up and...

    I've now confirmed there is an issue with 128GB cards not working. I expect the exFAT and larger cards are using memory I trying to use as scratch buffer. So v6.8 is working, but only with 32GB FAT32 cards and smaller. I will try to fix that. > discussion on zooming not being beneficial...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    1. No idea where the focus would be different. 2. No harm using the zoom. Plus I zoom all the way in to focus. 3. Puzzled, I'm using a type B as my main development system. Anyone else experiencing this one? 4. I do very little color correction on film scans, particularly with the latest...

    I never found this lens from a US supplier. It likely does exist here, but I not found it.

    So this only happens on 400 foot reels? I'm not sure I have any of those. Making sure this is play length, not scanning time (Reels scanning time.) As at 15m 10s playback, this error occurs after 2h6m hours of scanning?
