A Shooting with the LCD Monitor
Set [ Live View shoot.] to [ Enable].
In Basic Zone modes, the Live View 
menu options will be displayed under 
[z 2], and in Creative Zone modes, they 
will be displayed under [z 4].
Number of Possible Shots with Live View Shooting (Approx. number of shots)
The figures above are based on a fully -charged Battery Pack LP-E10 and CIPA 
(Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
 With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E10,  continuous Live View shooting is 
possible for approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).

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 157-158.
When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot 
will be taken. Also, the time it take s 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 [ 51: Auto power off] (p.185). If 
[ 51: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end 
automatically after approx. 30 min. (camera power remains on).
 With an HDMI cable (sold separately),  you can display the Live View 
image on a TV set (p.226). Note that no sound will be output.

When < g> is displayed in white, it indi cates that the Live View image 
brightness is close to what the captured image will look like.

If  is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is displayed at a 
brightness that differs from the actual shooting result because of low- or 
bright-light conditions. However, the actual image recorded will reflect the 
exposure setting. Note that noise may be more noticeable than the actual 
image recorded.
 If flash is used or bulb exposure is set, the < g> icon and histogram 
will be grayed out (for your refe rence). The histogram may not be 
properly displayed in low- or bright-light conditions.

other shooting functions applied.
During shooting, the Live View image will automatically reflect the 
function settings listed below. However, it may be slightly different from 
the resulting image.

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 View image is masked in black when 
the following aspect ratios are set: [ 4:3] [16:9 ] [1:1].
JPEG images will be saved with t he set aspect ratio. RAW images 
will always be saved with the [ 3:2] aspect ratio. The selected aspect 
ratio information is added to the RAW image file. When you process 
the RAW image with the EOS software, this allows you to generate 
an image with the same aspect ratio that was set for shooting. In the 
case of the [4:3 ], [16:9 ], and [ 1:1] aspect ratios, the lines to indicate 
the aspect ratio will appear during image playback, but they are not 
actually drawn on the image.

 The asterisked image-recording quality settings do not match the 
respective aspect ratio exactly.
 The shooting range displayed for the as terisked 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.

Metering timer N
You can change how long the exposure setting is displayed (AE lock 
time). In Basic Zone modes, metering timer is fixed at 8 sec.
Any of the following operations will stop Live View shooting. To start Live 
View shooting again, press the  button again.
• Selecting [ z3: Dust Delete Data ], [52: Clean manually ], [53: Clear 
settings ], or [53: Firmware Ver. ]
• Switching the shooting mode (between a Basic Zone mode and a Creative  Zone mode).

You can select an AF method to suit the shooting conditions and your 
subject. The following AF methods are provided: [FlexiZone - Single], 
[u  Live mode] (face detection, p.149), and [ Quick mode] (p.154).
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens’s focus mode switch to 
< MF >, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.156).
Select the AF method.
Under the [z 4] tab, select [AF 
method ]. (In Basic Zone modes, it is 
under the [z 2] tab.)
 Select the desired AF method, then 
press < 0>.
 While the Live View image is 
displayed, you can also press the 
 button to select the AF method 
with the Quick Control (p.144).
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.
1Display the Live View image.
Press the < A> button.
 The Live View image will appear on 
the LCD monitor.
 The AF point < > will appear.
2Move the AF point.
 Press the < S> cross keys to move 
the AF point to where you want to 
focus. (It cannot be moved to the 
edge of the screen.)
 Press < 0> to return the AF point to the center. (If C.Fn-9 is set, 
hold down the < O/L> button and press < 0>.)

3Focus on the subject.
Aim the AF point over the subject and 
press the shutter button halfway.
 When focus is achieved, the AF point 
will turn green and the beeper will 
sound.
 If focus is not achieved, the AF point 
will turn orange.
4Take the picture.
 Check the focus and exposure, then 
press the shutter button completely to 
take the picture (p.140).
Human faces are detected and focused on with the same AF method as 
FlexiZone - Single. Have the person whose picture you want to take 
face the camera.
1Display the Live View image.
 Press the < A> button.
 The Live View image will appear on 
the LCD monitor.
2Check the AF point.
 When a face is detected, the < p> 
frame will appear on the face for 
focusing.
 If multiple faces are detected, < q> 
will be displayed. Use the < Y>  
keys to move the < q> frame over 
the face you want to focus on.

3Focus on the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway and 
the camera will focus on the face 
covered by the < p> frame.
 When focus is achieved, the AF point 
will turn green and the beeper will 
sound.
 If focus is not achieved, the AF point 
will turn orange.
 If a face cannot be detected, the AF 
point < > will be displayed and AF 
will be executed at the center.
4Take the picture.
Check the focus and exposure, then 
press the shutter button completely to 
take the picture (p.140).
 If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be 
possible. If the lens enables manual focusing even while the lens’s focus 
mode switch is set to < f>, 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 face 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, tilted horizontally or diagonally, or partially hidden.
 The < p> may cover only a part of the face.
 When you press < 0>, the AF method will switch to [ FlexiZone - Single] 
(p.148). You can press the < S> cross keys to move  the AF point. Press 
< 0 > again to return to [u (Face detection) Live Mode ]. (If C.Fn-9 is 
set, hold down the < O/L > button and press < 0>.)
 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 point < > will be used to focus.
