Good to know! I will do it from here on.

Thank you.

Thank you Walter!

In my desperation I formated the card on my mac and reinstalled ML from scratch. I get color. I don't know if it runs stable, but it seems to be back to normal!

Thank you so much for your assistance. It's great to have a helping hand in times of need.

ps.: Should I delete the post (or will it just stay here for the rest of the world to see in the future)? I'm new to this forum..

First option did not work
Second option (with the SET botton) helped so far - that the color came back and I could film in colour w/o ML.
As soon as I switch the camera off and ML comes up again I STILL get colours on the screen. If i Press REC now it says (again) PictureStyle "faithfull" (in this case) and turns the colours to monochrome.


Everything changes, too, withhe "LV Disply" Settings:"in Photo, no ExpSim" the display shows colors as long as I don't REC. IF I set it to "Movie" the screen goes B/W. Maybe that gives some clue?

ps.: to be more precise: it's not the display that goes b/w - since the setting infos on the lower edge of the display and the "not recording" Box in the centre stay red/yellow/brown and MF in blue as well as the battery sign in green. -> It's not about the display.. it's really about the data that will be recorded.

When I shoot a picture with the index-finger-trigger I get a colorful picture (even though it was b/w on the screen) - when I REC I get b/w material.

Suddenly all attempts to shoot Video turn out black and white.
I switch den Style between monocrome and any other setting (let's say Standard/landscape etc) and as soon as I press the record botton for filming - it says in the display "style (e.g.) landscape" BUT I see only b&w in the viewer and the recorded Material is only B/W.

What can I do to get my system back to normal? It worked fine for months.. now my d5 is useless (for the moment).

[I am shooting live concerts]

But how is it possible, that I can change the ISO values on ML on my 650D and not on the 5DM2?

What I have to film and why I can't stop the recording to change ISO is because..
I am shooting live concerts - sometimes outside in difficult situations (shade under a tent and the public is in full sunlight).
a.) If I change the shutter away from 50 I get artificial movements - so I can't do that
b.) If I change the blind diameter of the aperture I change the effect on the image that I want (what is in focus and blurry)
c.) ISO always seemed to be the best solution.

Actually it is only way i knew to switch back and forth between radically diffent light situations and which I always did on the 650D using the ML function exposure smoothing (or something like that) so it faded slowly from one ISO to the next. This function was/is perfect. But being on the 5DM2 I obviously have to find another way - if it is definite that ISO changes are not possible while I am filming.

How would you deal with this problem? What is the right way on the 5DM2 with ML to reduce or gain light while recording?
Will someone write a similar tool already existing for the 650D for the 5D, soon? Is this planed / is it possible / or will it never happen?

Hi everybody - even though this question seems so, generally I'm not stupid.. sorry for that question in advance, but I am desperate after hours of looking for the answer and not being able to change my ISO values while I am recording Video.

What settings do I have to set to be able to modify the ISO WHILE shooting? (Or is that not possible at all - on my 650 it worked all by itself.. now I got a 5D mii and can't? It has to be my fault!)

Thank you so much for your help!
