If flash is used, the mirror must come down briefly. Pressing the shutter button completely will cancel the mirror lockup and the metering sensor will execute E-TTL II flash metering control (preflash fired and the correct flash output is retained). Then the reflex mirror is locked up again and the picture is taken. For continuous shooting, the same 10 fps maximum shooting speed as with normal shooting can be achieved. During continuous shooting, the LCD monitor is off. After the shooting ends, the captured image is displayed on the LCD monitor. When the image display ends, the camera returns to the Live View display automatically. As with viewfinder shooting, pressing the AE lock button during Live View shooting will lock the current exposure and an asterisk will appear on the LCD monitor. During magnified view, AE lock will be applied automatically to the exposure level of the full view display. The Tv and Av settings will be displayed in orange. During the magnified view, the AE lock button will not work. With C. Fn IV -16-1, the picture brightness is also locked. Normally, the Live View picture displayed by the LCD monitor is always displayed at the correct brightness, regardless of the exposure setting, for easy viewing similar to compact digital cameras. However, if C. Fn IV -16 [Live View exposure simulation] is set to 1, the picture is displayed based on the exposure setting's brightness. No compensation This enables you to see the exposure condition before taking the picture. The picture will be displayed at almost the same brightness as how the actual exposure will look. However, under low light or bright light (outside the dis- playable brightness range), the picture brightness might not look the way the actual exposure will be. Exposure 1 1/3 stop compensation simulation will not work with flash or bulb exposures. If you press the depth-of-field preview button, exposure simulation will be active at all times regardless of the C. Fn IV -16 setting. Function Settings The metering mode is set to AF point-linked evaluative metering. Other shooting settings (shooting mode, drive mode, image size, ISO speed, exposure compensation, etc.) can be set in the same way as during viewfinder shooting. The metering timer is 16 sec. (including AE lock). Focus presets with super telephoto lenses cannot Live view function settings be used. Even during Live View shooting, the power will turn off after the [Auto power off] time elapses. During Live View display, pressing the MENU or playback button will terminate the Live View shooting and the menu screen and image playback will appear. VI. LIVE VIEW MODE 25
