Will what does the video look like at those shutter speeds?
It looks perfectly fine. The only real change I've noticed while shooting is if I specify H2 ISO, I can see the grain.
Another thing I noticed is that if I change the shutter speed to a faster value, then it just automatically increases the ISO, no matter what I've picked for the ISO. If I slow the shutter speed down, even all the way to 5", it shows me a good exposure and the video looks ok, albeit full of noise.
For example, from where I"m sitting in my dimly lit living room, I picked ISO 1600, f/3.5, and a shutter speed of 1/4". If I slow the shutter speed down to 1/2", 1", it does NOT increase the exposure, but, if I go to 1/6", 1/8", 1/10", the video gets darker. This is all in manual mode. I'm assuming the video is maxing out at 1/30" and so it CANT go brighter? It's just that, no matter if I crank the ISO up to H2, the video will not get any brighter. But, it will get darker if I go -1 or -2.
So unless I'm missing something, it still does a lot on its own, no matter if you've chosen a specific ISO or not in low light situations.

In the PDF they talk about a auto ISO enabled or not
As suggested, a crop mode would be ideal!
It would be even more advantageous to manufacture an adapter for the Canon 3.4mm - 20.4mm f/1.6-2.6L IS Wide Angle Zoom HD Video lens and to be used with the center portion of the sensor, but keeping HD quality. http://www.adorama.com/CA6XHD.html
A far reach, but really cool.
OK, it has finally decided to start letting me change the apeture as I'm recording, I have no idea why it wasn't before. I'm going to play with it outside in the daylight tomorrow.

Another thread about this is not necessary.
actually posting to his new thread would have made a lot more sense, no people have to wade through 6 pages jsut to find where the actual release and usage info starts, we really should kill this thread and use his fresh one....

I just tried it and no, I can't change any of that WHILE recording. I can change it right before I hit the Set button to start recording.
WHILE I'm recording, if I hold down the shutter button half way, on the left of the rear LCD it shows me the resolution I'm shooting at, what focusing mode I'm using (AF QUICK for example), and exposure compensation.
One thing I just noticed is that if I turn the big dial on the back to adjust EC, the video will get darker from the middle, but if I go into the + side, the video does not get brigther. WTF?
But I cannot change the apeture WHILE shooting video....Show more →
are you sure you have it set to stills+movie as well as movie display as well as setting dial to M?
I did that and it won't let me pick under 1/30th and I can change aperture and shutter speed and ISO while recording.
one ironic thing is we finally have a working autoiso (one that works in M mode) but only for movies still not for stills!
but wow, this is great for video, sooooo nice to finaly control things and not have it doing screwy stuff all the time noen of which was clear exactly what screwy stuff it had been doing.
want your 1/48th jsut pick 1/50th and you are set, want f/1.4 pick it and it stays, want f/8 indoors, you got it. soooooo nice. total M control or M+AutoISO, perfect.
jsut gotta go pick up some ND now for f/1.4 in the sun without 1/4000th chop.

are you sure installed 1.1.0??
it sounds like you are in regular mode and the camera is doing what it wants and your settings are just what it uses for stills like before or random with no bearing on actual footage like before as well just tracking stills.
for one it is impossible to get longer than 1/30th exposure if you are shooting at 30fps.... just think about it. no company in the world can make that happen no matter what the firmware or hardware....
Looks great -I'm using manual ISO and I set it to what I want and it keeps that setting. I can change aperture, shutter speed and ISO while recording and it actually changes the exposure without trying to compensate. I finally feel like I'm driving stick instead of auto!
I just recorded a test clip of my friend making scones. I'll post it (unedited with no music) in an hour on Vimeo.
Not read the whole thread but this update is great news for video makers using the 5D2. I can imagine that the quality of amateur video that we see will just keep going up, i personally can't wait to see what people start producing with this camera now. It's going to be to play with too.

I got it to not let me go below 1/30th and ISO H1 this morning, I'm not sure how I was making it do what I was saying last night, I could go to H2 and way below 1/30th. Hmm..

Maybe it only lets you use the 'special' settings at night!
