Canon has provided further details on the new Canon 5D Mark II firmware, which will be available for download later this month. The new firmware version 2.0.3 will enable the Canon 5D Mark II to capture 1080p video at 24fps (actual 23.976fps) and will change the 30fps rate to NTSC standard 29.97fps. The 5D Mark II will also be able to capture 1080p video at the PAL standard of 25fps. Additional tweaks include an histogram display for shooting movies in manual exposure, shutter-priority and aperture-priority, manual control over sound recording levels and a broadcast standard audio sampling frequency.
It's coming, everyone! The gravy train is about to roll in, and its name is 24fps.
It was ridiculous when the 7D was released with native 24p, and early adopters of the 5D cried foul. But once this firmware update gets released - pfffffffffft, well, let's just say the RED ONE had better up the ante. ;)
this is a different language to me
ReplyDeleteffffffff oh man I didn't even notice that they're changing 30p to 29.97 fps.
