Choppy video in changing light conditions

[Metalstrm]

Sorry if this has been discussed in detail before, but I couldn't find anything substantial about it.

I'm experiencing choppy video in changing light conditions. This occurs both on the LCD and the computer. It is very obvious when panning for example from a bright window to a dim interior, with the camera changing ISO.

Does anybody know how to deal with this issue?

Anybody?

My guess is that your shutter is dropping below 30 fps.
Keep it at 30 or higher and you'll be good.
Hope this helps.

Google "choppy video Canon 5D" and you will find that many folks think it has to do with data rate exchange when viewing.

Make sure you have the latest Quicktime on your computer. I do and it works great.

Find it here.

Thanks Rog, I actually downloaded the last Quicktime and the problem seems to have disappeared on the PC, which is funny, because the choppiness also happens on camera. I didn't expect the camera not to be able to handle the data transfer rate while an updated Quicktime can...
