    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Bright highlights clipping to black / blue in video mode?

Yesterday I was filming a wedding with a new video light (1000watt lowel DP light), and I noticed that the brightest part of the light appeared black with bits of blue in my footage rather than white. (See sample jpeg)

Can anyone explain this? I was shooting with a 5D mkII.

Tonight I experimented with the light and several cameras. The clipped highlights appears to be due to high ISO settings on the 5D mkII. After around ISO 1000 the clipping appears.

I haven't noticed it at similar ISOs on our 7D and 5D mkIII.
