Picture Style (profile) for Canon EOS DSLR (5dmk2)

Posted on by

The Technicolor CineStyle™ is a Picture Style (profile) for Canon EOS DSLR cameras that optimizes the dynamic range in the image by leveraging the capabilities of the Canon imaging chipset. Cinematographers and their post-production partners will have greater flexibility in color grading and finishing their projects.

 

notice the canon is quite dark, this would be horrible to deal with in post production

About time ! most peeps have been using the canons profiler to install more useful video settings using kodachrome or flat cinema profiles for example created by users in the know of many a forum .. but its nice for the official guys to bring their flat curves to the table ,all this means if you’ve been living under a rock – that you can get more info out of your crushed video than you normally would from canons defaults therefore enabling  detailed postgrading/manipulating ;trouble is can you still find that canon  utility disc that came with your camera!!..(leaves desk to go search the loft…)

you to give an ff-ing care about your expensive camera for a change !

current firmware doesnt work on c1/2/3 modes with sound on manual mode(liveview)

canons site says ‘

Recently we have discovered a malfunction that occurs with Firmware Version 2.0.3, in which the manual recording levels for C1/C2/C3 are changed and the camera becomes unable to record audio if the power is turned off (or if Auto power off takes effect) after registering “Sound Recording: Manual” in the camera user settings.
We apologize very sincerely for the inconvenience, but we are going to stop making this firmware available for download. For customers who have already updated to the new firmware, when using the camera with the mode dial set to C1/C2/C3, please either set the sound recording settings to Auto.
We are currently preparing firmware that will correct this malfunction. As soon as those preparations have been completed, we will let you know on this Web site. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience this represents, but please wait until the fixed firmware is ready.’

BLAH canon very BLAH

Canon releases the 5dmk2 from 30fps hell

Posted on by

And so it has finally appeared . After waiting so long for a measly update it’s almost an anti-climax to what was and could’ve been a really special announcment (where’s 720p60fps? HD output not 480p on monitoring I can go on canon?..) so here lies my reason for this cut and paste job as I can’t be bothered …
Canonrumours take it away :

Firmware Version 2.0.3 incorporates five enhancements to the movie function and a fix to the manual sensor cleaning function of the EOS 5D Mark II camera.

Adds or changes the following movie frame rates.

NTSC:
1920×1080 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)

PAL:
1920×1080 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)

Other Functions
Adds a function for manually adjusting the sound recording level (64 levels).

Adds a histogram display (brightness or RGB) for shooting movies in manual exposure.

Adds shutter-priority AE mode (Tv) and aperture-priority AE (Av) mode to the exposure modes for shooting movies.

Changes the audio sampling frequency from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.

Fixes a phenomenon where communication between the camera and the attached lens is sometimes interrupted after manual sensor cleaning. (This phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.4.)
