valo_soul Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 On my 40D, I can turn off the incremental ISO settings and just have the base ISO frequencies enabled. I prefer this because I always use ISO 100, 200, 400, etc... and prefer to avoid the in-betweens. Is this not possible on the 5D? I can't find a way to disable them.

bobatkins Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The spec sheet on the 5D says"ISO 100-1600 in 1/3 stop increments". It doesn't say "1/3 or 1 stop" increments. So while it seems like it would make sense to have the ability to change ISO only in full stop steps, perhaps you can't! I guess they had to save something for the 5D MkII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_barbu1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don't own a 5D, but in <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS5D/page10.asp">looking here</a>, it would appear not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander_illich Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I DO own a 5d, unfortunately it's in another city right now as I'm off visiting the folks, but I do believe yuo can change that in your custom functions section, but I may be mistaken.

m_barbu1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Alexander, take a look at the link I posted. It shows screenshots of the custom functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander_illich Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well then, the things I dont know about my camera, maybe this is a sign that I should retire from film and use my digital more... or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valo_soul Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hmmm... interesting. I guess it's not possible. Thanks for the replies, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinsouthern Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 You just have to get used to counting 3 clicks instead of one when adjusting the ISO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardwest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It's actually quite easy to do after a while. Your finger just gets used to how far it has to roll across the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
