fps change promised for future 5D Mark II firmware
Canon has announced a firmware release for the EOS 5D Mark II that will be available sometime in the first quarter of 2010.
Aimed primarily at those who enjoy the 1080 full-frame video capture functionality of the camera, the firmware update will allow the frame rate to be set at either 24fps, 25fps or the current 30fps.
30fps is aimed primarily at video produced to be viewed on a television set. 24fps is suitable for the silver screen and allows video shot with the camera to be transferred to 35mm film for projection in a cinema. 30fps is optimized for display on NTSC televisions and 25fps is suitable for PAL televisions.
Hopefully, the firmware update will include something for ordinary photography…
