5d mark iii video rolling shadows issue

[Ryant]

Here is a link to the youtube video of the issue:

canon_5d_iii_rolling_shadows

Is the rolling shadows because of the light from the street or is this a problem? If i set my shutter speed to 1/60 it looks better. But as soon as i switch the shutter speed to 1/200 the shadows get really bad.

its just the type of street lighting, sometimes fluorescents do similar things to the image.

Thats good to hear. It did not seem like using it in any other lighting was making it do this, but whatever that street light is doing seems to affect it if I am anywhere near it.

This should help. Read the first reply by Phil.

As illustrated in the link it's to do with shutter speed, you should always leave your shutter speed at 1/50th of a second for normal video in PAL and 1/60th of a second in NTSC, you'll get that same effect on any video camera, not just the 5D.
