Now Available: Canon Firmware Update with Manual Video Control for 5D Mark II DSLR



June 2, 2009
That firmware update from Canon we told you about last week is now available for users of the 5D Mark II digital SLR.The update will allow the 5D II's 1080p high-def video mode to operate a lot like its manual still mode with control over exposure, ISO, aperture, and other settings.

Manual control of HD video is something photographers have been asking for since the 5D Mark II was announced last year. The new firmware update does not allow the camera to shoot in 24p video mode, however, which is another highly sought-after feature in the 5D Mark II.

The update is available by clicking here. Word of warning though: the link to the new Canon firmware seems to be getting hit with a ton of traffic and is running slow.
