Just curious to know if anyone has developed a set of recommended camera settings for shooting video on this DSLR. For example, any specific items that need to be turned on or off (like peripheral illumination) - and why. I saw a thread earlier that recommended Adobe RGB color space instead of sRGB, for another example.

I've had this camera for 3 months now - my first DSLR, and I want to start moving away from all of the 'auto' and default settings if necessary. Some of these items I know nothing about. I am primarily a videographer. I also use a JVC GY-HM600 and I would also like to use the 5D as a b-cam or vise-versa.

Alex,

Here's Shane Hurlbut's dslr series, Start with episode 1 then go to the next. Its a 5d2 but its basically the same.

I'll cover you in both forums as there might be others who need the same assistance. :)
