Exposure compensation and Auto Exposure Bracketing can now be set using the same screen, enabling you to quickly check the overall exposure amount when combining both. The screen now shows a “Darker” and “Brighter” indication above the exposure scale, easier to read than the plus and minus signs when holding the camera at arms length in Live View mode. To set exposure compensation only, it’s possible to bypass this combined control by using the Quick Control Dial, just as on previous models.

Live View shooting control screens have also been combined and optimized (compared to those found on the EOS 40D) in order to speed access to a variety of settings. On the EOS 5D Mark II, the Live View Function screen also includes a choice for disabling still shooting during video recording or disabling video recording altogether. Another screen

gives you access to Exposure Simulation and screen brightness settings, while a third lets you change the AF mode to Quick, Live, or Face Detection Live mode. Evaluative metering is automatically set for Live View mode, but while Live View mode is activated you can still toggle back and forth to the main menu screen by pressing the menu button in order to change drive modes, ISO speed, Picture Style settings, and other settings. (Previous EOS models, such as the EOS 40D, required lowering the mirror and shutting down Live View Function to access the camera’s menu.)

Setting Exposure Compensation and AEB

Two different grid displays are now available to aid composition in Live View mode, the newest offering a tighter grid pattern. You can also select two Silent Shooting modes: The first activates the 1st curtain electronic shutter while the mechanical shutter is open (a quiet step), followed by a reduced-noise shutter cocking. In Mode 2, the shutter cocking does not occur at all until you lift your finger from the shutter

button, allowing you to decide when camera

sound of any kind would be appropriate.

Grid Display

On the EOS 5D Mark II, the top-mounted LCD panel is slightly larger, and settings are easier to read than on the EOS 5D. Also, ISO speed, D+ (Highlight Tone Priority) and remote control indicators have been added. The functions and positions on the three buttons in front of the top LCD panel have been changed so that the most frequently used buttons are near the Main Dial.

On the back of the EOS 5D Mark II, the new AF-ON button has been added to the left of the AE lock button. The former Jump button has been changed to the Picture Style selection
