he Canon EOS
5D Mark II is the
most powerful brush I
have ever used as a
Director/Cameraman.
With its
amazing
sensor,
compact
size and
incredible color repro-
duction, I am able to
create entirely new
images. Not only in
distant locations like
Afghanistan,
Cambodia, or 300 feet
below the Atlantic in a
nuclear sub, but also
back at home lensing
an intimate, emotional
journey of a man’s life,
the Canon EOS 5D
Mark II made the ordi-
nary extraordinary.”

CINEMATOGRAPHY
images with shallow, blurred backgrounds or shooting
illustrative outdoor scenes, architecture or anything
where all details must be recorded, the EOS 5D Mark II
won’t disappoint. Big sensors also capture more light,
and can record at high ISO sensitivities with less digital
gain and reduced image noise. This means low-light
shooting, without loss of detail, in situations previously
impossible without artificial light.
Frame Rates
The EOS 5D Mark II HD shoots video with a broad range
of frame rates and formats: in Full HD (1920 x 1080), it
can shoot at 30 (29.970) fps for NTSC, 25 fps for PAL,
and 24 (23.976) fps for cinematography, for up to 4GB
per clip. For Standard HD (1280 x 720), and SD (VGA –
640 x 480) it can shoot at 60 (59.940) and 50 fps for
PAL. Video is recorded in the MOV format and can be
viewed on an HDTV via HDMI output.
Creative Capabilities with EOS lenses
From fisheye to super-telephoto, the incomparable
range of Canon EF lenses delivers a stunning combina-
tion of sharpness, speed, compactness and flexibility —
the perfect complement to the keen professional eye.
With the ability to create images of great beauty, tai-
lored to the particular shot, interchangeable lenses
bring motion capture to a whole new level. And the
range of focal lengths is simply staggering. With over
60 lenses available, Canon’s superlative optics deliver
the perfect solution every time.
Manual Exposure Control
For complete creative control,
the EOS 5D Mark II offers a
near-infinite number of manual
settings for all aspects of motion
image capture. Videographers
can take advantage of the 5D Mark II’s extensive range
of ISO sensitivities and flexible exposure control to
create the desired visual effect, profoundly affecting
the mood of a scene. Exposure can be determined and
set even in complex lighting situations, maintaining the
same look and feel throughout an entire scene, not just
the initial shot.
Large CMOS Sensor
Thanks to its full-frame sensor, video captured on the
EOS 5D Mark II has a look and perspective impossible to
achieve with traditional video cameras. The physical size
of the 5D Mark II’s sensor means depth-of-field can be a
creative decision by the photographer, not dictated by
the equipment. Whether creating dramatic moving
