Re: EOS M thread
 
Jon,

How is that Fotodiox adapter working for you? I have now tried two of them and they both wiggle too much on the lens mount of the M. After it clicks on, you can go back and use your hand to rotate it easily and it moves/rotates back and forth a 1/6th or so. They assured me they sent me the second one that fit snug and tight, but it was the same problem.

If anything, mine felt a bit too snug when installing/removing it. I don't recall any excessive play. It's not with me at the moment though, so I can't reevaluate right now...

I had read so many good things but honestly was just really let down. One of my 2nd shooters uses a 7D with the 18-55 kit lens and the video generally looks pretty good, much much better than the M. Shooting well lit video on a tripod with the M looks okay and I would definitely say yes it is worth the $300 if that is the intended application. Shooting wide open anything above 800 iso introduces quite a bit of noise as well. Again for $300 I suppose that is okay but I wanted more and expected more after what I have read.
Yes, I would agree. I gave up shooting video with my 7D because I felt that the image couldn't 'compete' with my 5D and 4:2:2 camcorders. I've not found that the M video seems worse than the 7D, about as bad over 800 as I would expect. I have shot a lot of higher ISO stuff with the 7D, some of it has come out quite well, but there are so many better choices these days, as you heard with the Olympus, and especially the GH2/3.

I think for the price it's a good trade off. It will be interesting to see what this fall's line up brings.

Hello everybody. Say, can you do manual adjustment to aperture, iso and shutter speed on this camera, or does magic lantern does it?

The EOS M out of the box provides full manual control in video (shutter, aperture, ISO all independently fixed at whatever you want), or shutter, aperture fixed, but ISO auto), or all three auto. Unlike many cameras, audio is also fully manually controllable.

ML mostly adds aids to shooting (like visible live histogram, focus peaking).

Just a FYI to newcomers, ML might have a solution for getting audio out of the USB port on the M. It's still work in progress. You also get RAW recording on the M now. And timelapse recording.

Mark, I must be loosing my marbles! When I put the camera in video mode, my ISO, shutter and aperture and all in AUTO! May I ask if there is a setting that I am overseeing?

I figured it out! On 'Q' press the camera icon for auto or manual option! So happy now. Thanks for believing in me guys!

Yes, choosing "Manual" mode! It defaults out of the box to Auto mode. Touch the A in the upper left (if I recall) of the lcd. Then you will get the choice of Auto or Manual. Choose Manual, and from then on when you turn on the camera in video mode you will be in manual mode, with an M in the upper left.

Anyone using Wasabi batteries? It sure is tempting to buy handfuls of them.

Amazon.com: Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Canon LP-E12 and Canon EOS M, EOS Rebel SL1, EOS 100D: Camera & Photo

Although there are certainly those who have had bad experiences with non-OEM batts, I've been very happy with Wasabi Power from Amazon.

I bought a couple 2-packs of LP-E6 equivalents (5D, 7D, 60D) and there is no discernable difference between them and the Canon version. This particular battery is chipped, and the body recognizes the chip just fine, all the batt management works, and capacity seems about the same in normal shooting.

I don't know anything about the Wasabi batts for the M, but these LP-E6 are great for the money.

Random question.
Can anyone tell me how to access all of the different video modes. I would like to be able to shoot 720 @ 60fps.
Right now I can only access 1920 @ 25fps or 24fps - 1280 @ 50fps - 640 @25fps

You have the Video System set to PAL. Switch it to NTSC (second utility screen). (And of course '1280' is 720.)
