You can record video with the 5D Mark III in aperture-priority (Av), shutter-priority (Tv), full manual (M), program (P), or the dedicated auto mode (A+). Full manual is the only mode that lets you adjust ISO manually for your videos, and it also lets you set aperture and shutter speed independently. The manual ISO range for the camera is extensive, as you can select up to ISO 12800 in video mode.
The ability to control depth of field is one of the most significant advantages of shooting with a DSLR over a traditional camcorder. The video above shows off the 5D Mark's depth of field in action, as the camera is able to create a shallow depth of field effect in video mode with ease.

Recording Options
Section 3 Text - Page 3
The Canon 5D Mark III can record full 1080/30p video in ALL-I (intraframe) or IPB (interframe) compression, using the H.264 codec. For a more film-like aesthetic, you can switch over to the 1080/24p record mode, which is also offered in ALL-I or IPB compression. If you don't want to shoot Full HD video, the camera has two 1280 x 720 video recording options, both of which make use of a 60p frame rate (and can be compressed with ALL-I or IPB as well). There is one 640 x 480 standard definition record mode on the camera (30p frame rate and IPB compression).
You can read more about the recording options for the 5D Mark III over at DigitalCameraInfo.com.
