[1 (A:B)] Firing multiple slave units in multiple groups
You can divide the slave units into 
groups A and B, and change the flash 
ratio to obtain the desired lighting effect.
Refer to the Speedlite’s instruction 
manual and set one slave unit to firing 
group A and the other to firing group B. 
Position the Speedlites as shown in the 
illustration.
 1Set [Firing group] to [1(A:B)].
2Set the A:B flash  ratio and shoot.
Select [A:B fire ratio] and set the 
flash ratio.
A B
If [Firing group ] is set to [1 (A:B) ], group C will not fire.
The 8:1 to 1:1 to 1:8 flash ratio is equivalent to 3:1 to 1:1 to 1:3 stops (1/2-
stop increments) for the exposure level.

Shooting with the LCD Monitor(Live View Shooting)
You can shoot while viewing the 
image on the camera’s LCD 
monitor. This is called “Live View 
shooting”.
Live View shooting is enabled by 
setting the Live View shooting/
Movie shooting switch to < A>.
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the 
LCD monitor, camera shake  may cause blurred images. 
Using a tripod is recommended.
Remote Live View ShootingWith EOS Utility (EOS software, p.512) installed on your computer, 
you can connect the camera to t he computer and shoot remotely 
while viewing the computer screen. For details, refer to the EOS 
Utility Instruction Manual.

2Display the Live View image.
Press the  button.
The Live View image will appear on 
the LCD monitor.
The Live View image will be displayed 
in the brightness level closely 
matching that of the actual image to 
be captured.
3Focus on the subject.
When you press the shutter button 
halfway, the camera will focus with 
the current AF method (p.276).
You can also tap on the screen to 
select the face or subject (p.286).
4Take the picture.
Press the shutter button completely.The picture is taken and the captured 
image is displayed on the LCD monitor.
When the playback display ends, the

shooting automatically.
Press the  button to exit the 
Live View shooting.
A  Shooting with  the LCD Monitor
The image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with the image-recording 
quality set to JPEG  73).
 In Creative Zone modes, you can check the depth of field by pressing the 
depth-of-field preview button.
 You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.221) for Live 
View shooting.

Number of Possible Shots with Live View Shooting(Approx. number of shots)
 The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N and 
CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
 With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N,  continuous Live View shooting is 
possible for approx. 2 hr. 30 min. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).

 In the < 8: x > mode, Live View shooting is not possible.
 In the < 8: FG > modes and < v: ABCD > modes, the 
shooting range will be smaller.
 When the flash is recycling, “ BUSY” is displayed on the LCD monitor, 
and you cannot view the subject.  Also, the continuous shooting speed 
will decrease.
 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image 
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
 General Live View Shooting Cautions are on pages 290-291.
You can also focus by pressing the < p> button.
When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot will 
be taken. Also, the time it takes to capture an image after you press the 
shutter button completely will be slightly longer than with viewfinder shooting.
 If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn 
off automatically after the time set in [ 52: Auto power off ] (p.66). If [52: 
Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end 
automatically after approx. 30 min. (camera power remains on).

With the HDMI cable HTC-100, you can display the Live View image on a TV 
set (p.373). Note that no sound will be output. If the picture does not appear 
on the TV screen, check if the [
5 3: Video system] is correctly set to [For 
NTSC] or [For PAL]  (depending on the video system of your TV set).

The histogram can be displayed by pressing the < B> button when 
[ z 5: Expo. simulation: Enable ] (p.271) is set. However, the histogram 
is not displayed while pressing the shutter button completely.
 You can display the electronic level by pressing the < B> button 
(p.72). Note that if the AF method is set to [ u+Tracking ] or the camera 
is connected to a TV set with an HDMI cable, the electronic level cannot 
be displayed.
 When < g> is displayed in white, it indi cates that the Live View image 
is displayed at the brightness level closely matching that of the actual 
image captured.
 If  is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is displayed at 
a brightness that differs from the act ual shooting result because of low-or 
bright-light conditions. However, t he actual image recorded will reflect 
the exposure setting. Note that noise may be more noticeable than the 
actual image recorded.
 When the < 8: FG > mode is set, shooting with flash in Basic Zone 
modes, or [ Expo. simulation: Enable ] in Creative Zone modes is set 
and Multi Shot Noise Reduction, HDR  mode, bulb exposure, or flash is 
used, exposure simulation will not be performed (p.271). < g> icon 
and histogram will be displayed in gray. The image will be displayed on 
the LCD monitor at the standard brightness. The histogram may not be 
properly displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.
 Exposure simulation is not performed in < v: ABCD > modes. 
< g > icon will be displayed in gray. The histogram will not be 
displayed.
Do not hold the camera in the same  position for long periods of time.
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature 
contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation 
problems or very sensitive skin, or  when using the camera in very hot 
places.
