Canon 5D Mark II just released a firmware update v1.1.0 for manually focusing their video functions. Canon 5D MII is the flagship for HD video capture coupled with full-frame DSLR.
I just loaded the Canon 5D Mark II (MII) firmware v1.1.0 and it worked wonderfully! Below is a demonstration on how I can
- Manually adjust aperture for DOF
- Manually adjust shutter to control entry of light
- Manually adjust ISO for low light and intentional noise / grain

With the firmware update installed, the 5D Mark II offers two distinct video exposure modes: fully automatic and fully manual. As before, when configured for automatic exposure, the camera sets the ISO, shutter speed and aperture for you, and provides the user +/- 2 stops of exposure compensation plus exposure lock. New in v1.1.0 is the ability to choose any shutter speed between 1/30 and 1/4000, any ISO between 100 and 12,800 (or 200 to 6400 if Highlight Tone Priority is on) plus Auto and any aperture available on the attached lens.
