A Shooting with the LCD Monitor
The final image simulation reflects the  effects of the Picture Style, white 
balance, etc., in the Live View image  so you can see what the captured 
image will look like.
During shooting, the Live View  image will automatically reflect the 
function settings listed below.

 Aspect ratio N
The image’s aspect ratio can be set to [ 3:2], [4:3], [ 16:9], or [ 1:1]. 
The area surrounding the Live Vi ew image is masked in black when 
the following aspect ratios are set: [ 4:3] [16:9] [ 1:1].
JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio. RAW images 
will always be saved with the [ 3:2] aspect ratio. Since the aspect 
ratio information is appended to  the RAW image, the image can be 
generated in the respective aspect  ratio when you process the RAW 
image with the provided software.
When [8 3: Add cropping information ] is not set to [Off], the 
aspect ratio will be 3:2. (The  aspect ratio cannot be changed.)

 Exposure simulation NExposure simulation displays and simu lates how the brightness of the 
actual image (exposure) will look.
•Enable ( g)
The displayed image brightness  will be close to the actual 
brightness (exposure) of the resulting image. If you set exposure 
compensation, the image bri ghtness will change accordingly.
•During eNormally, the image is display ed at the standard brightness to 
make the Live View image easy to see. The image will be 
displayed close to the actual brig htness (exposure) of the resulting 
image only while you hold down the depth-of-field preview button.
• Disable ( E)The image is displayed at the standard brightness to make the Live 
View image easy to see. Even if  you set exposure compensation, 
image is displayed at the standard brightness.
  For asterisked image-reco rding quality, the pixel count does not exactly 
match the set aspect ratio.
  The image area displayed for the asteri sked aspect ratio is slightly larger 
than the recorded area. Check the captured images on  the LCD monitor 
when shooting.
  If you use a different camera to directly print images shot with this 
camera in the 1:1 aspect  ratio, the images may not be correctly printed.
With [82: LV shooting area display ], you can set the display method for 
the shooting area (p.318).
  If you set an expanded  ISO speed setting as [Maximum] in [ISO speed 
range ], Live View shooting will be po ssible under darker conditions.
  Even if a low ISO speed  is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed 
Live View image under low light. Ho wever, when you shoot, the image 
recorded will have minimal noise. (T he image quality of the Live View 
image is different from t hat of the recorded image.)

 Silent LV shooting N•Mode 1The shooting operation noise is qui eter than with normal shooting. 
Continuous shooting is also possible. If < o> is set, you can 
shoot at a maximum continuous  shooting speed of approx. 6 fps.
•Mode 2When the shutter button is pressed completely, only one shot will be 
taken. While you keep holding down  the shutter button, the camera 
operation will be suspended. Then  when you return to the shutter 
button’s halfway position, the ca mera operation will resume. The 
shooting noise is thereby minimized.  Even if continuous shooting is 
set, only a single shot will be taken.
• DisableBe sure to set it to [Disable] if you use a TS-E lens (other than 
those listed in   below) for  shifting the lens vertically or if you 
use an Extension tube. Setting it to [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ] will result 
in incorrect or irregular exposures.
  Metering timer N
You can change how long the exposure  setting is displayed (AE lock 
time).
  If you use flash, silent shooting w ill not be possible regardless of the 
[ Silent LV shoot. ] setting.
  When using a non-Canon  flash unit, set it to [Disable ]. The flash will not 
fire if it is set to [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ].
  If [Mode 2 ] is set and you use remote c ontrol shooting (p.186), the 
operation will be th e same as with [Mode 1].
With the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24 mm f/3.5L II lens, you can use [Mode 1] 
or [ Mode 2 ].
If you select [ z3: Dust Delete Data ], [53: Sensor cleaning ], [54: Clear 
all camera settings ], or [54: Firmware Ver. ], the Live View shooting will be 
terminated.

The AF modes available are [Live mode], [u Live mode ] (face 
detection, p.208), and [ Quick mode] (p.212).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens focus mode switch to \
< MF>, magnify the image, and  focus manually (p.214).

mode on the setting screen displayed.
The image sensor is used to focus. Although AF is possible with the 
Live View image displayed,  the AF operation will take longer than 
with the Quick mode.  Also, achieving focus may be more difficult than 
with the Quick mode.

 If the focus is far off, face detect ion will not be possible. If the lens 
enables manual focusing even while the lens focus mode switch is set to 
, turn the focusing ring to attain  rough focus. The face will then be 
detected and < p> will be displayed.
  An object other than a human fa ce may be detected as a face.
 
Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, 
too bright or too dark, titled horizontally or diagonally, or partially hidden.
  The < p> focusing frame may cover  only part of the face.
 When you press  straight down or press < 0>, the AF mode will 
switch to the Live mode  (p.207). You can tilt  to move the AF point. 
Press < 9> straight down again or press < 0> to return to the  u (face 
detection) Live mode.
  Since AF is not possible  with a face detected near the edge of the 
picture, the < p> will be grayed out. Then if you press  the shutter button 
halfway, the center AF poin t < > will be used to focus.

AF operation
 Focusing will take slightly longer.
  Even when focus has been achieved, pressing the shutter button 
halfway will focus again.
  The image brightness may cha nge during and after the AF 
operation.
  If the light source changes while th e Live View image is displayed, 
the screen may flicker and focusing  may be difficult. If this happens, 
stop the Live View shooting and  autofocus under the actual light 
source.
  If you press the < u> button in the Live mode, the image will be 
magnified at the AF point. If focusing  is difficult in the magnified view, 
return to the normal view and autofocus. Note that the AF speed 
may differ between the normal and magnified views.
  If you autofocus in the Live mode’s normal view and then magnify 
the image, the focus may no longer be correct.
  In the  u Live mode, pressing the < u> button will not magnify the 
image.
Live Mode and u (Face Detection) Live Mode Notes
  In the Live mode or  u (face detection) Live mode, if you shoot a 
peripheral subject and it is slightly  out of focus, aim the center AF point 
over the subject to focus,  then take the picture.
  The external Speedlite will not emit  the AF-assist beam. However, if an 
EX-series Speedlite (sold separately)  equipped with a LED light is used, 
the LED light will turn on automatica lly for AF-assist when necessary in 
the Live mode and  u (face detection) Live mode.
