A T ISO engineering fro RANGES of ACCEPTABILITY

[iND]

Would it be too difficult to have a custom mode with multiple parameter RANGES?

Example: of how I might use it

T: set not to go below 1/100 or faster than 1/250

A: set not to go below F8 or above F11

P: start at ISO 400 and auto increase to keep T / A in their windows of acceptability but stay less than say 2000


This would be great and as it would automatically push the ISO when the metering falls outside the parameters.



This would solve a problem like this:

ISO 400 / A priority F8 / (this is typical of an outside group shot)

But T could default to 1/30 (below handheld) (and result in a blurred shot)
when I would have preferred the ISO to increase and keep the T above 60.
Yes I can do this manually but sometimes I get side tracked with posing and don't realize the low T (and I don't be testosterone)
until i get to to photoshop

Could the Canon engineers work on this ?
Or is it available and I don’t know it?

There are a lot of things just like this that would be great to have. Sadly, I don't think camera makers (Canon) care as much as camera users (Magic Lantern). There will be a point when software will be more open to simple programs/features, but it seems we always have to drag the companies away from their storyboard and get them to shoot from the hip a little more often.

The 1D X (and prior 1-series bodies, IIRC) allow you to set a range for aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Thank you for feed back.

These are probably the best tips I have learned here.

5D3 Menu page Shoot 2 ISO speed setting minimum (set to hand hold 1/60) works in P and Av
That really makes my day as AV is my primary wedding mode.

This completes the Trilogy.

So in summary what I am going to use for settings on the 5D3 as my main wedding frame when not using a flash.
(so these are my during the ceremony no flash settings)

Single Point Focus (now easily movable, and low light accurate) (leave focus attached to shutter button)

Center weighted exposure (setting the * to lock and manual release for multiple exposures)
Maybe move the AF function to the DOF Preview button (as I never use this to function)

Shoot mainly in Av (for best control of depth of field) (focus and depth of field are my main priority..gotta get the shot)

Set ISO to AUTO and set minimum T of 1/60 (to avoid blurr from camera shake)
Pray for a 25-70 2.8 IS to be released

I am going to leave the AF linked to the shutter button for now but tempted to move it to the rear and disengage the shutter AF function.

Great work guys.
This is going to have a GREAT impact on my keeper rate.

Thanks
