Take the picture.

Press the shutter button completely.

XThe picture will be taken and the captured image is displayed on the LCD monitor.

XAfter the image review ends, the camera will return to Live View shooting automatically.

To terminate shooting, press <0> while Live View image is displayed.

To check the exposure simulation and depth of field, press the depth-of- field preview button.

Flash photography is also possible. However, FE lock, modeling flash, and test firing are not possible. The Speedlite’s Custom Functions also cannot be set with the Speedlite.

With the 580EX II, the wireless setting cannot be changed.

Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not display the proper brightness. And if you press the depth-of-field preview button, the image might not show the brightness corresponding to the

exposure setting (< > icon blinks). However, the captured image will reflect the exposure setting.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might be covered in black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.

The time it takes to actually take the picture after you press the shutter button completely is slightly longer than with shooting through the viewfinder.

When you press the shutter button completely, the shutter will make two shutter-release sounds (with flash, the reflex mirror and shutter operation make multiple sounds). However, only one shot is taken.
