It had to be better, but , Vimeo is not a good check gauge. The Mark II was stunning anyhow.

Find out what camera the tapes came from, could be a codec issue, the Canon may not read the tapes

I recommend using any RAW settings depending on the size required so that you can process the files in Canon Digital Photo Professional, and you will not lose any details as if you use jpeg. But, you will have to convert to jpeg or other say tiff for presentation to a client.

If using RAW the quality will not suffer regardless of size, only if you need to go to poster size.

Only if the scene is too bright , experiment . at f 5.6 you will blur the background and remove any moire. anything smaller than that and you may have sharp focus and more moire. normally at 1/60sec your f stop should be say f32 depending on the light in bright sunlight ?

I am in Australia and only use Pro Tech Support from Canon, other than that level of support they are not with it.However, send say a Canon HV20 for service and or a Canon 5D mark II and they update it for you automatically, not bad.

Hi Tobias,

Have used the Mark II for 3.5 years with no issues, but,there may be an issue with shimmering on verticals behind a subject. I suggest you use say f 5.6 at what ever shutter speed and throw the background out of focus.I used to use 1/60 sec shutter speed for all videos as some pros said it would be smoother, but, even a shutter speed of say /2000 sec makes no difference to the video at say f5.6.

If you use a f stop of f16 to say 32 you may pick up small dust spots even on the background, f5.6 will get rid of that.

Good luck .

incidentally you will get vertical shimmering on a Pro unit costing $10,000 or more including broadcast.

Thank you Adrian,

Yes SD is till used here too, things are changing fast though. Don’t forget the Windows limit of 4GB on 32 bit software, so increasing it in PP 1.5 may not help much if at all, but, will be of assistance when you use a 64 bit application.

Good luck
