Been having a real challenge here with 50D and feeling like a real noob  .  It doesn't let me adjust the resolution. It's either 640x480 on or off. When I turn on the HD, when I go to the Raw Video (MLV) option on the movie menue, it's either "On, 1568x882" or OFf. No in between.

I really don't care about shooting HD, I just want to shoot higher resolution than 640x480 which is way to low for my needs.

How do I change the resolution??

Been trying everything and still confused. It does seem from the thread that there is some way to change the resolution - but it seems my choices are 640x480 or full HD with no in between. What am I missing?

Thanks Walter. This looks highly technical so will try and read through it to understand.

Just to summarize - there is no feature on the 50D that allows you to just dial down the resolution then, correct?

RAW video (MLV)  is also greyed out BTW

Thanks. Ok, now when I go to the menu and go to RAW video (MLV) the only option is 1568x882 or none (off). The Movie Record still says 640x480.

Thoughts?

Hi, I've been trying for several weeks to get my camera to change to a higher resolution. When I try to change the "Movie Record" setting to another resolution, the only options I get are totally OFF or 640x480 30FPS. When I turn On HDR Video, it records just white flicker. I don't really care about HD anyway - Just want to get the darn thing to up the resolution.

Any suggestions?

On a related topic, how do I change the frame rate to 29.97 drop? I am recording on a second HD camera and like to edit between but that camera is 29.97.

Thanks!
