woohoo. installed.

Upgraded firmware, so far everything looks fine. Going to test it out tomorrow.

You're confused. 5dmkII had only 1080p at 30fps (not 29.97) and VGA at the same fps. They changed 30fps to 29.97, and added 1080p at 24p (23.976) and 25fps. 720p was never there, and therefore never removed

Works great except.... Av/Tv modes in video/liveview still force auto-iso... Make it like my other camera, where Av and Tv in live view are exactly the same as Av/Tv without it. I can understand having movie display function the way it's supposed to for Av/Tv, but it ruins manual mode (1/30 min, Av works fine at 1/2"), and setting it to stills display or exposure simulation ruins Av/Tv (reverts to the old way of auto everything). That and the fact you can't access audio gain while recording or at least from "my menu" directly

woops.. you are right. for some reason i thought it did, but it doesnt... i've just seen ppl slowing down frame rates but didnt pay attention which camera they were using.. :/ thanks

It was in a beta, or so the legend goes. No one knows why its not in the release, but the feeling is that it caused an overheating issue.

Guys - noob here for using Video mode - any online tut's for setting the camera up for video..

^^

As a quick reference, if you plan to do 24p video, set the dial to M. Go into Live View. Set your shutter speed to 1/50. Set your aperture to whatever your heart desires. Then adjust the ISO accordingly, or if you want to be lazy (haha) set the ISO to AUTO.

That would give you a pretty good start. From there, check out some online tutorials when you get a chance.

Don't forget to buy some ND filters though, shooting 2.8 and 1/50s will not be fun even at iso100 if you are out on a sunny day.

Could you guys elaborate on this a little more?

I'm absolutely LOVING the live histogram with the new firmware!


Thanks
