I’ve never been a huge news aggregator (I leave it to the best), but I couldn’t let this one pass. The boys over at 5D Mark 2 Team have developed a USB follow focus. Yup, thats right, using the USB output on your camera you can now control several of you cameras functions such as:
- Toggle Live View mode On/Off
- Start/Stop video recording
- Take pictures
- Set focus / change focus before and whilst recording video using the knob or 2 dedicated Near/Far buttons
- Save focus points and do Rack Focus operations before and whilst recording video (*)
- Change camera settings: ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed and Exposure Compensation
- Trigger camera’s light metering system in both Live View on and off modes
- Trigger Auto Focus in Live View mode
- Toggle between Zoom Levels x1, x5 and x10
- Adjust Focus Zone (white rectangle) positioning with lens set to Manual or Auto Focus mode (the lens mode is automatically detected)
- Reverse the direction of the knob to match your lens or preferences
So run over the the 5DMark2Team to check it out.
