Using Canon 1D Mark IV still camera for video work with professional monitoring and focus pulling solutions
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Canon 1D Mark IV produces high quality imagery at high ISO settings without additional lighting and operates reliably for video work
Depends on
- Setup required HDMI monitoring solutions and workarounds due to HDMI port placement limitations on the camera body
- The camera body alone weighs slightly more than comparable options but remains manageable for handheld rigs at around 25 pounds when mounted with accessories
- Still camera lenses lack standard focus markings, requiring workaround solutions for professional focus pulling
