Canon 5D MK II & III Bodies Overexpose Video

I have both of these bodies and I'm seeing overexposed footage when I shoot video, using the onboard metering system. Overexposed, like at least two stops, and too overexposed to be "saved" in my timeline.

 

No exposure compensation is dialed in on either of these two bodies. And, the same metered exposure is perfect when I shoot a still photo.

 

What gives? Has anyone else come across exposure problems with Canon DSLR bodies?

 

Thanks.

Do your cameras have AE or AF in video mode? If not, you should have Zebra mode. Set the Zebra level to 70% and the exposure so that only highlights of the face and forearms show stripes.
