AAssigning Live View Mode to a Button

If Live view is selected for Custom Setting f5 (Assign FUNC. button, pg. 320) and a mode dial is set to mode other than aor MUP, the Fn button can be used to turn live view mode on and off. This allows the self-timer to be used in live view mode. Note that the camera will use the release mode selected

with the release mode dial (pg. 84) rather than the mode selected in the Release mode menu. If desired, this function can also be assigned to the

depth-of-field preview button (pg. 324) or the AE-L/AF-Lbutton (pg. 325).
