Changing ISO without handle (C100)

[Markus Nord]

Hi
I don't own a C100 and don't have a friend or shop close by with the camera, so I can't check this myself. Is it possible to change the ISO if the handle is removed?
Why? Because if I would get the C100 I would have to make my own UW housing and would like to do that without the handle.

So, is it possible?
Cheers

Markus you certainly can change the ISO without the top handle. I only picked up my C100 on Friday but I just tried it now to be sure and it changes the ISO no problem.

So far I'm really impressed with the C100.

I was just watching your videos. Very nice work. I really like the Exploring the inner spaces one. The cave under the water looks very interesting and I might add a bit scary!

C300 has two joysticks (one is on the main body of camera), but C100 has only one (on the right handle).
The top handle with XLRs you can remove but the right handle you need for changing iso.

Ah sorry Markus did you mean the side handle? If so then like Pavel said you can't change the ISO because you lose the joystick that you need to change the menu.

Yes, is was the side handle I meant. So it needs to be on the camera, to bad... Then I need to look at a solution with the side handle on...

Thanks for your reply's...

Thanks, together with another filmmaker we'll release a 40 minutes documentary film in the end of this summer. The Swedish version will hopefully be broadcast in Sweden during this summer...

You have the ISO button on the main body of camera but canon don't let you assign some buttons (4,6 can be good choise) for ISO+ and ISO-.

Canon let you change Iris+ and Iris- (by assign buttons), AE Shift +-, Headpone+ -, but don't let you assign ISO +-. It looks like the thing for changing with next firmware.

Thanks Pavel... a button would be much better then to make something that works for the joystick. I hope that Canon can adress this in a future upgrade.
