You're welcome! I've been waiting all this time as well. I jizzed in my pants when I saw the announcement last week. The controls work just like when shooting pics. Hallelujah!

Canon should really have email blasts to the respective camera owners when there's an update.

They should, but the camera should have had these features to begin with!

I just thought of something that is still missing that I would like to see included in the next firmware update: Expanded Focus while shooting video. It would be a godsend in achieving sharp focus if they enabled the 5x-10x magnification while the camera is rolling.
