Set your creativity free with
Quick AF Live View freestyle shooting
Unlike previous systems that required a tradeo in autofocusing performance, there's no compromise with the 
300's Quick AF Live View. Instead, you get full SLR function- ality and image quality, plus the ability to shoot easily and comfortably from angles and positions you never could before. So you can take advantage of more spur-of- the-moment photo opportunities, and capture more of the magic moments that SLR photography is all about.
Low-position shooting comfort
Thanks to the 
300's Quick AF Live View and variable- angle Clear Photo LCD monitor, low-position shooting is incredibly easy. With the monitor angled upward, you can maintain a comfortable posture and frame your subject correctly even when taking dramatic, low-position sports photos like the one below. Low-position live view shooting is also great for macro close-ups of owers, and eye-level portraits of children or pets. It's even helpful on regular portraits because you can hold the camera at waist level and maintain a dialogue with your subjects to ensure a more natural expression.

High-position shooting ease
The 
300's variable-angle Clear Photo LCD monitor makes it easy to maximize the shooting freedom oered by Quick AF Live View. For high-position shots, the monitor can be angled downward, enabling you to frame your subject ac- curately even with the camera held at arm's length above you. As a result, you can take well-composed photos at sports events, concerts, and other public venues even when you need to shoot over the heads of a crowd. Or you might just nd it's the perfect way to capture the ex- citement of young footballers as they huddle to discuss their game plan!
