Mark 5D3 1.2.3 Rack Focus

[nazcaman]

Hi! I've both 5D2 and 5D3, Rack Focus works ok but on 5D3 I'm not able to record it? When I press the SET button it does rack focus in Live View, but if I try to press START/STOP for recording video with the rack focus it just jumps back to the ML Menu? On 5D2 all works fine since there's no dedicated video record button, so SET triggers both.
I don't use this feature much, but I'm pretty sure I had it working with ML 1.1.3 firmware version...

Am I missing a step or something with the 5D3?

Thanks

OK got it after setting rack focus end point press PLAY then START/STOP button and that does the trick. Hint in the menu wrongly hints to press PLAY button for recording :/

I had the exact same question and your second post saved me a big headache.

However, the recording stops automatically after the rack focus ran through once.

How can I set the camera to continure recording even after rack focusing?

I'm running the 1.2.3 nightly build on a 5D Mark III.

Thanks in advance.
