60d - ISO setting of 819200

[mr.vijayaraghavan]

60d - ML Notes say that ISO can be pushed up to 819200.  Can anyone explain me how the actual setting is made in the ML menu?  I tried; but the ISO never goes beyond the limit set by Canon's expanded ISO. I see the following settings in ML Menu `Q', but don't know what values should be fed to each of these;

Equivalent ISO:
Canon Analog ISO:
Canon Digital ISO:
Display Gain:
Highlight Tone P:
ISO Selection:

Waiting, waiting ...and waiting!

It works in movie mode only.

Thanks for responding. Of course, Yes; it works only in movie mode.  But then,  I need to know how it is set. When I try to set it, it stays between 100 and 12800.  How to go below 100 as also above 12800; could you please enlighten me...?

You need to use display gain/ML digital ISO an addition to the highest possible Canon ISO. It can be set from -2 to +7 EV. With ISO 100 and -2 EV, you can use 25 ISO, though it tends to make the highlights a very ugly pink. ML digital ISO only works in liveview (for video and silent picture). For still pictures, it is pretty useless since it does the same as over- or underexposing raw pictures in post-processing.

It should be in the expo menu inside the ISO sub menu. I'm not sure If you have to enable exposure override or not

Thank you Halbmoki.  I experimented it and it worked.

I noticed that ISO could be extended even to 1638000 in movie mode with the following settings;

ISO Selection : ML ISOs
Display Gain:  +7
Canon Digital ISO :  2
Canon Analog ISO : 3200 (Maximum)

And this is double of 819200 claimed in ML !

I'm sure it looks fine if you're into abstract arts :-)

Ha..Ha..!  I can't disagree.  I was ...just sounding `technical'.
