General Help Q&A / Advanced ISO questions
August 09, 2012, 09:35:11 PM
I'm excited to start using the advanced iso controls to improve the shadow and highlight quality of my videos on my 550D.  But I'm not sure what settings I need to adjust to get this result.  I was hoping someone could help me understand the ISO controls.  I'll try to explain my current understanding of the controls.

Equivalent ISO - Shows the result of multiplying the canon ISO with the digital ISO multiplier
Canon analog ISO - Shows the default canon ISO
Canon digital ISO - Canon's ISO multiplier
ML digital ISO - ML's ISO multiplier
Highlight Tone P. - I'm guessing this improves highlights like it does in the normal canon settings?
ISO Selection - I can see that this changes what ISO I can select but I don't understand the significance (any clarification would be appreciated).

So if I understand the description in the release notes the concept is to lower the ISO using the ML digital ISO mulitplier?  If so, how much do I lower it to get the desired effect?  Does this just depend on the situation and scene?  Also, should I have the Highlight Tone P. on all the time to achieve the optimal results?  Thanks for any and all help.
