CUSA offers locking mode dial for 5D Mk. II
$100 upgrade available for the 5D Mk. II, replaces
its mode dial with a locking one similar to the 60D. See details at: Canon U.S.A. : Consumer & Home Office : EOS 7D (Link URL says 7D but the page applies equally to the 5D Mk. II) |
Worth every penny... (though it should have been standard from the beginning)
|
Probably not a bad idea, though I must admit that, after some 8000 pix in difficult conditions (concerts, so in the dark, hot, and in a hurry), I've never had the dial move inadvertently. Must have been lucky...
|
Sadly there is no indication that this modification is to be part of standard manufacture of all 5D MkIIs in the future..
|
Who does install?
It is not clear to me in the link if this a DIY install or does the body need to go to a service center for this modification?
|
It's not a DIY. You send the camera in for the retro-fit. It would also be a
good opportunity to have your annual clean & check done at the same time. |
