Live View Shooting About the Information Display Each time you press the button, the information display will change. Live View exposure simulation Battery check Picture Style AE lock Flash-ready Shutter speed Aperture Histogram (Brightness/RGB) Focusing frame Exposure level ISO speed Shots remaining Flash exposure level When the [6 Live View function settings] menu's [Grid display] is set to [On], a grid will appear to make it easier to align the horizontal or vertical shot. By setting C.Fn IV -14 [Add aspect ratio information], you can shoot with the same framing as with a medium- for large-format film camera such as 6x6cm, 6x4.5cm, and 4x5 inch. Vertical lines matching the set aspect ratio will be displayed. (p.178) When C.Fn IV -16 [Live View exposure simulation] is set to [1:Enable(simulates exposure)], the Live View image will be displayed with the brightness level simulating the exposure setting. This enables you to see how the exposure looks before taking the picture. (p.178) The histogram (p.118) will be displayed only when C.Fn IV -16-1 has been set. If flash is used or bulb is set, the histogram will be grayed out. The histogram might not be properly displayed in low light or bright light conditions. When you press the depth-of-field preview button or set C.Fn IV -16-1, the < > icon will appear to indicate that exposure simulation is in effect. During Live View shooting, if the < > warning icon (temperature increase warning) is displayed, see page 109.
