Sorry if this is an awful question, but what is the difference between shooting with the 3x Crop Mode in this build (when using the 1x1 binning mode), and the regular Crop Mode using the 5x button, which, for me, would achieve a 3x zoom in playback? I'm using a 5d Mark III with the April 02 build in this post.
To my understanding when using the standard "Crop Mode", it also creates a 3x zoom when clicking the 5x zoom button, allows you to shoot in resolutions above 1920x1080, but also has the caveat of a slow, grayed screen, or being forced to record with incorrect composition that stays at 5x while recording.
Am I correct in saying that this is more or less the main tradeoff? The ability to shoot in higher resolutions vs. the ability to get full color correct compositions?
To make sure I'm on the same page, when using this build, turning on the 3x Crop Mode at 1x1 binning, and shooting at 1920x1080 I get accurate composition in full color, and the same size recorded image as if I were using the standard Crop Mode with the 5x zoom button instead. When using the 5x zoom crop mode, it allows me to use resolutions higher than 1920x1080, however doing it this way also means a slow and grayed screen, even at 1920x1080, or a poorly composed image if I were to use the Canon previews that stays incorrectly zoomed to 5x while recording. So would I be correct in saying this is the main difference?
My other questions would be-
-Is there a way to achieve resolutions above 1920x1080 with this build using the 3x Crop Mode with 1x1 binning?
-Am I missing a way when using the standard Crop Mode with the 5x zoom button to a achieve color previews with correct composition?
-Is there anything else that I seem to be misunderstanding, such as the difference between using these two methods?
