Live View Function

Canon’s spectacular Live View shooting is now available through most of the EOS Digital models. Live View Function, where the photographer can compose and shoot directly from the camera’s LCD is an indispensable feature for creative photography in any number of situations. It enables the photographer to zoom in and navigate the composition 5x or 10x normal size, while enabling critical focus and allowing more attention to detail. Users can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for architectural photography. In the

studio, Live View Function can be used remotely (via a computer) through the camera’s USB connection, or wirelessly if the optional Wireless File Transmitter is used.

Live View Focusing

One of the elements distinguishing Canon's Live View Function from other manufacturers is the sophisticated focusing modes available, including Quick mode, Live mode, and Face Detection Live mode. In Quick mode, One-Shot AF is set automatically and the AF point is selectable even while the Live View image is displayed. In Live mode, AF can be started by pressing the AE button for either AF mode.

In Face Detection Live mode, the largest face near center is detected initially, but the Multi-controller can be used to select any face detected.

Video Shooting with Live View Function

The new EOS 5D Mark II offers shooting in Full HD video—a first for EOS Digital cameras. Recordable in 640 x 480 VGA mode and in 1920 x 1080 Full HD mode, and saved as MOV files, shooting video with an EOS Digital camera increases the photographer’s flexibility and allows for full-use of the camera’s EF lenses including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift lenses and more (zooming is not available in shooting video). Shooting is at a frame rate of 30 fps. Sound is recorded either through the camera’s built-in microphone or through an external microphone connected to the camera’s microphone

input terminal. Playback modes are available in-camera, and all Live View AF features can be used in shooting video.
