Ok, someone help me out here. I still have version 1.0.7 on my Mark ii. Can I go straight ahead and up load 1.2.4 to my camera or do I have to have 1.1.0 first?????? The language the offical website uses isn’t very clear to me. Like, does 1.2.4 contain the same updates as 1.1.0?? Or will I be missing 1.1.0′s updates if I jump to 1.2.4?

Thanks,

Steve

forgive me but I don’t see how that is a problem with Canon and their products, it is a problem that video cameras have with flickering light sources.

and how about that you can only use shutter speed of 1/50 if you shoot anywhere else than under natural light (sun)? Would you be fine if there were only 1/60 shutter speed in the camera?

Yes you can do it in post, but the quality after that is something you are not going to use in professional production.

Nikon fanboi much?

you can convert from NTSC to PAL in post, I’m not saying that Canon shouldn’t have it, but its not the catastrophy you’re making it out to be

Canon updates 5D manual controls but it’s still ntsc-only camera. There’s new Nikon coming that will have 25p mode too. Wait for that one, don’t buy Canon. 30p is useless in PAL countries (= most of the world).

In Malaysia, there is only one shutter 1/50 for indoor shooting, because we are running in PAL 50Hz electricity,

So nevertheless the 30P mode give us the freedom to choose this speed. Cheers Canon, but it will be better if you enable 24/25 fps Video, if not, i think it’s ok to stick on 1/50 Shutter running at 30fps…. cheers man

NOW CANON:
CAN WE HAVE exposure compensation TOO?

WHY ARE YOU TEASING US, STAYING ARROGANT???
AM I SO NEGATIVE OR JUST REALISTIC?

SHOUTING LOUDLY:

SO BESIDES 24/25, SOUND, ALSO EXPOSURE COMPENSATION!!!!!!

SO BESIDES 24/25 SOUND ALSO EXPOSURE COMPENSATION!!!!!!
SO BESIDES 24/25 SOUND ALSO EXPOSURE COMPENSATION!!!!!!

WHO WANTS TO SHOUT WITH ME?
ONLY THEN WE CAN BE PLEASED WITCH SHOULD BE NORMAL.

With manual exposure mode selected and ISO set to Auto, there is one key automatic exposure feature missing, however: exposure compensation. This means you can’t, for instance, dial in -1/3 to -2/3 of exposure compensation when working in bright frontlit sun, and this is often mandatory to keep 5D Mark II video from being too light and highlights being blown out.

Yes Of course I mend 24/25 fps.
But what about what I stated?

By: Zac

Zac — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:20:47 +0000

45 fps? why why not 25 fps, so PAL people can just play it on their TV without screwing with it in post.

record sound separately please. this is a visual tool, not an auditory one.

24/45 FPS AND SOUND 24/45 FPS AND SOUND 24/45 FPS AND SOUND
This is still my comment to Canon and seriously we should do something more towards the Canon and last but not least the Canon society: they should not be so pleased with this upgrade at all!!
There isn’t any information stream of Canon about when or if sound and 24/25 fps is coming.
I still think this is arogant.

I still think THE CANON COMMUNITY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPY AND PROTEST AGAINST CANON!!!

I did and I think, really think it HELPS!!!

CANON RESPOND AGAIN AND YOU ARE STRONGER AS BEFORE!

Know how to use the equipment is one thing, be able to use all the options of the equipment at all time is another.

For example, if I want to have a particular cinematographic motion blur, a “180Ã‚Â° Shutter Speed”, for 30p I will choose 1/60 sec for the entire production, but every time I will have to shoot at night or under lights it won’t work.
