Canon Announces Exciting New EOS 5D Mark II Firmware Update

Per Canon's eNewsletter: With the introduction of the EOS 5D Mark II, Canon revolutionized the video industry with the ability to shoot Full HD video on on a 24mm x 36mm sensor. This provided depth of field characteristics that were previously unseen in any video camera.

The EOS 5D Mark II has been met with incredible enthusiasm by major picture studios, independent filmmakers and professional videographers. The consensus was that the EOS 5D Mark II is a phenomenal tool but needed to include manual exposure control within video to be fully utilized.

After months of extensive engineering and testing, Canon is please to announce a free downloadable firmware update that enables manual exposure controls while shooting video including: ISO, aperture and shutter speed.

This update transforms the Canon EOS 5D Mark II into the first full frame 24mm x 36mm DSLR with manual exposure video control, creating an amazing tool for the video and motion picture industries alike, leaving no need to compromise with inferior workarounds.

This new firmware update is scheduled to become available early June, so stay tuned!
