I have poured through the manual on this new complex machinery and it doesn't seem possible...is this accurate?

AV is suppose to change the shutter speed based on the aperature. If you're setting both then it's not really AV now is it?

Use M to control the synch speed. Canon 6D, 1DmkII, IR modified 5DII with lots of Canon L, TSE and Zeiss ZE lenses
