1D MkII frame rates

phil1664 · 21st of October 2005 (Fri)

I've been told that it's possible to alter the frame rate of the 1D MkII. I use the fast (8.5fps) speed a lot but if possible, would like to re-programme the slower (3fps) speed to around 6fps.

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers,

Phil

You can't make the slow frame rate faster

But you can program the fast setting to 6FPS and enable a custom function to activate the slower rate,. and disable the CF to go back to the fast rate.

With the new "N" version you can set either one much easier.

how do you slow down the pfs..i know u can slow down to 3pfs by setting the drive to low...is there any different pfs other than 3pfs?...thanks

You can set the max and min shutter speed using Personal Function (PF) 04. But you need to connect the 1D to a PC via a firewire in order to set the Personal Functions. Once set, you can enable and disable the PF to select your custom frame rates (PF 04 enabled) or the default camera frame rates (PF 04 disabled).

You need to use the supplied software.

It's the PF (personal function) you want to look into, not the CF. The details will be in your EOS Digital Software Instruction Manual.
