5D3 min. shutter speed hidden feature / bug

Jam5D — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:40:54 GMT

The ISO speed settings - Min. Shutter speed setting allows setting the shutter speed automatically based on focal length of the lens or manually to a certain value.

The on screen help indicates this setting only affects photo mode.

But when shooting video the camera will still use this setting to determine shutter speed.

This feature can be used to slow down shutter speed when using a long lens (on a tripod)

The hidden feature thus is to go back to photo mode and modify the setting to either get a shutter speed in video mode that corresponds to the focal length or equal to e.g. 1/60, which allows for a lower iso value.

The issue being this feature is very usable in video mode, but the camera hides this setting when in video mode, as it assumes this shouldn't affect video.

It would be great if this menu item could be enabled in video mode too for a future firmware release.

From wishlist point of view I think it would be great if the minimum shutter speed could be set to automatically slow down shutter speed when a lens with Image Stabilization in mode on are being used. A setting that allows to drop shutter speed by 1/2 or 1/4 with IS activated can be handheld and nicely interact with Auto ISO.
