Yes…off for video on a tripod. Some of the bigger lenses will detect being mounted to a tripod but the more common ones do not. The symptom you will see is skipping during a pan. The IS thinks the lens needs correction and fights the movement til it can't anymore and "pops" back into place.

Agreed the panning shots were hot! I need to try this someday. You are using slow shutter and trying to match the speed of your panning motion with the speed of the object in lens desire, correct? The effect is awesome.

I thought it was more a property of the lens than the camera?

Some lenses will automatically compensate IS for use on tripod, others wont.
see http://cpn.canon-europe.com …e_stabilization​_lenses.do

But it is a good question perhaps as to whether that changes when shooting video rather than stills.

Yep to all of that ^.

I think to be safe turning the IS off on the lens in video mode is the thing to do. Will be doing some testing but I think it just makes sense especially when panning.

Thanks.

"He" is looking more and more like his daddy. The red color is amazing. I've had four Setters and while it's hard to compare the one thing I can say is his coloring is really the best.

Just got the 70D.

Re: 70D video.

Can anyone speak to how well the 70D's video format plays with Adobe Premier Pro? I'm expecting my second copy of the 70D tomorrow (first copy had the focus problem and was returned) and am very interested in taking some video with the kit lens. What format can I expect for the video files and what "preset" should I select in Premier Pro in order to begin editing.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Thanks,

Kevin H.

The files are QT wrapped H.264 You can select All-I or IPB depending on your quality/storage requirement. The manual will tell you the difference.
Premier CS6 and CC can edit all DSLR footage. Don't worry about a preset…just drop it in a new timeline. It will ask if you want to match sequence settings to the footage. Say yes.

Be aware that the kit lenses are not constant aperture and shouldn't be zoomed while shooting video. You will see a jittery exposure effect.

Also, make sure you set your shutter to either the frame rate or a multiple of the frame rate. (30fps =1/30, 1/60) You could probably go as high as 1/120 but that's about the limit for smooth video. It will start to look jittery after that. If you are filming outside you will want an ND filter set or variable ND to keep your shutter speed correct.

Happy shooting!

anyone here with experience with the 70D as well as 5D mark iii/ii/ 6D?
I'm pretty happy with the 70D!
I've been recommending it to everyone like crazy.

I just can not figure out why the w/b on my lcd looks so odd.

Are you referring to C. Fn I-5

You may choose up to 7 shots.

Oh wow - you just totally made my day! This is exactly what I was looking for, and built right into the camera!

Just tested this out and it works perfectly.

Thank you so much for the reply jarrieta.

I need a turtorial
do you pop off 7 and they go as 1?
