Jan 10 2023 build Tested with a Canon EF 35mm f2 IS.
Different lenses may behave differently depending on the switches available outside, Full time MF, etc.
In addition to what is stated in Danne's post:
3k 24p 12bit can now record longer clips more easily (Press INFO while recording / Histogram 3.0 Max);
3k 12bit 19.98p (Set 25 fps to ON and -380) behaves like 2.8k 12bit 24p in terms of clip length;
5K Ana and Ana flv also got a boost in recordable clip length at 12 bits.
@danne: 10bit now works on my end, but 12bit still yields more consistent focus results.
Details:
MF
While recording, you only need to press the * or half shutter ONCE. It will go back to normal by itself (Non sticky shutter while recording). If you press twice while using 5k ana / flv, it may not bounce back to normal.
1080p
Before recording: * button and half shutter both work to zoom in.
While recording: not possible to zoom in.
2k
Before recording: * button and half shutter both work to zoom in.
While recording: both buttons will provide some zoom (2X ?).
2.5k, 2.8K & 3k
Before recording: * button and half shutter both work to zoom in.
While recording: both buttons will provide 10X zoom.
5k Ana & 5k Ana flv
Before recording: * button and half shutter both work to zoom in.
While recording: 10 bits, both buttons will provide 10X zoom (it is an anamorphic stretch). 12 bits will give a freezed display.
AF
(Follow Danne's recommendations to the letter and it will work as follows)
1080P
This mode will try to continuous autofocus. it works, but is reeeeally sloooow.
So, if you use bigger EF lenses which make a lot of noise, in Canon menu, set Movie Servo AF to Disable. You will then get a comfy and snappy one shot AF.
Before recording:
As stated in Danne's post, you should use *, then press and hold half-shutter to focus, then release to go back to normal.
While recording: Pressing * or half shutter, the display will look pink, but holding the half-shutter will AF correctly and go back to normal on release.
5k frtp, 2k, 2.5k, 2.8k, 3k (3k works better at 19.98p)
Before and during recording, both buttons work as expected. 3k is slower to return to preview after successful focus while recording.
5k Ana & 5k Ana flv
like 1080p, This mode will try to continuous autofocus. set Movie Servo AF to Disable.
Before recording: Use *, then half-shutter hold and release to focus.
While recording: Press-hold-release Half-shutter button to focus. (if you don't take your time to hold or release before it is done focusing, display may freeze to the zoomed in state)
