canon 5d - dickonclark - 03-16-2011

Hi
Just bought the Canon 5D mark 2 which is amazing for portraits the only problem I've found is that the video is a bit jerky. Does anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I use imovie on Snow leopard so should be ok

My sister actually has this camera and I experienced the same problem with the video. But the pictures it takes are great and viewing option are wonderful including the magnify option in the view tab. It just doesn't seem to be made for video but is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts and professionals alike. Since your using the same camera what kind of printer and ink are you using because my sister is looking for a better quality printer for her pictures.

Canon's press material for the EOS 5D states that it 'defines (a) new D-SLR category', while we're not typically too concerned with marketing talk this particular statement is clearly pretty accurate. The EOS 5D is unlike any previous digital SLR in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the EOS 20D, although in your hand it feels noticeably 'chunkier').

Have you tried using a tripod when shooting video ?

Are you shooting at 1020 or 780 ?

What was your shutter speed? Try a ss of about twice your framerate. For example, if shooting in 24p then around 50-60 shutter speed.

Best thing to do is to use manual mode, set your ss to about 50, adjust your aperture for correct dof, and use iso to control your exposure. Try to stay around base iso. If shooting outside, use ND filters to further lower your exposure if it's too bright outside.
