A hands-on preview of the new Canon EOS 5D MkIII. A much improved version of the 5D MkII, the 5D MkIII features an entirely new sensor, the AF system from Canon's 'top of the line' EOs 1D X, improved HD video, faster shooting, lower noise and higher image quality To activate Silent Shooting on the Canon EOS 5D, press the Mode Dial to the M (Manual) position. Then, select the Live View Shooting/Movie Function Mode by pressing the Live View button on the back of the camera.

If the number of shots is set to 2 or more, the exposure and white balance settings are locked after the first shot. Shooting will cease if the SD card becomes full. Between shots the self-timer lamp will flash and the self-timer sound will play as follows. Use different camera angles, wide and close-up shots, and even move the camera while shooting to create a dynamic and engaging movie. Having a clear plan of the story you want to tell before shooting will make it easier to ensure that you capture all the necessary clips. Alternatively, shoot three (or more) images from the same position, adjusting the exposure each time to record a full range of detail of the scene, and then blend the best bits of each image together in Photoshop.

The composite video out on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is low res and generally speaking, not very good. Using composite should be avoided if possible. The 5D Mark IV is an excellent Stills camera with very robust Auto Focus Tracking in video mode however it is hardly a slow motion enthusiast’s first pick for their arsenal. The Slow-Mo Video Samples: Below are 10 120fps 720p samples from the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV for you to see and judge quality. 5DIV Slow Motion Test 120fps by Robert Patterson: If you’re like me and have used the Canon 5D mk 2 for video, you will have noticed a few things. The first thing is the outstanding quality of the video. You are able to shoot at full-frame 1080p. (1920 x 1080 – non interlaced). This is the holy grail of HD video. The fact that you can use the DSLR lenses ads a film-like quality to your video. There is one big issue with the Canon EOS R5. When filming, the camera tends to overheat.
