Can you explain how to use Dual ISO, does it work in RAW video capturing and if its jus for Still work how are you setting you 5D Mark II after turning off RAW Video? Thanks for any info you are able to transfer to me.

Dual Iso does not work in RAW Video, only Photo same as the 7D.

My setup is:

select M mode (also works in P and A) and select your iso at 100.
Goto ML menu and enable Dual Iso and set the 2nd iso to 1600 (i find this to be best and is psoted all over the forum as best as i can see)
Shoot :)

Remember to install cr2hdr, place the images in the same folder as cr2hdr and drag the image onto cr2hdr.exe

Thanks doyle - bottom line question - would you use dual iso photo for all pics? or is it worth using for only certain situations...like dark areas?

I only use it when i need to, Say.. an indoor shot but outside is much more exposed than indoor, i would meter outside and use shadow recovery.

If shooting somewhere dark i would meter on the shadow then use highlight recovery.
