Tramm,

It would be interesting to compare the newly announced firmware with the current version to see if there are any real differences... or if Canon simply changed a flag to enable manual controls and recompiled. You seem like the perfect guy for the job!

And if the firmware update still does not add 24P, perhaps Canon is being considerate enough to leave you one "feature" you could add via your custom firmware.

Tramm,

Now that we have exposure figured out can i make another request for swapping the shutter button and set button function. I'm bascially looking for a way to get the 5dmkII to use a standard wired or wireless release to trigger the video start stop instead of firing the shutter. This would mean we could use cable releases on shoulder rigs etc without having to rely on IR, as well as allow for some great remote shooting.

Husdons latest firmware is featuring more improved sound level monitoring, and now,,

zebras. And if you listen to his vimeo demo here, he is saying he should be able to incorporate with the new firmware. As may know, his firmware resides on CF card and is only loaded into RAM, so wouldn't affect Canon's firmware.

Here is vimeo link: http://vimeo.com/4858670

Sorry if it was posted already.
