The final image simulation shows the results of the current settings for 
Picture Style, white balance and other functions in the Live View image, 
so you can see what the captured image will look like.
The Live View image will automatically show the effects of the settings 
listed below.

You can perform crop shooting, or shoot with the set aspect ratio for 
Live View shooting. To set them with the menu, see page 154. To set 
them with the Quick Control screen, see the next page.
If you use [83: Custom Controls ] to 
assign [Switch between crop/aspect ] 
to the < B> button, you can just 
press the < B> button while 
displaying Live View image to switch the 
Crop/aspect setting. For details, see 
page 423.
When the Live View image is displayed, if you press the < n>, 
< o >, , or <
b> button, the setting screen will appear on 
the LCD monitor and you can turn the < 6> or < 5> dial to set the 
respective shooting function.
 By pressing the < n> button and then the < B> button, you 
can set WB shift and WB bracketing.

If Crop/aspect is set for Live View s hooting, the image’s field of view will be 
approx. 100% (when the image-recording quality is set to JPEG  73).
When you set  w (Partial metering) or  r (Spot metering), a metering circle 
will be displayed in the center.

When the Live View shooting/Movie 
shooting switch is set to < A>, the Live 
View shooting menu options will appear 
under the [z 5] and [z6] tabs (the 
[z 3] tab in < A>).
The settable functions on this menu screen apply only to Live View 
shooting. They do not work with viewfinder shooting (settings 
become invalid).
 Live View shooting
You can set Live View shooting to [ Enable] or [Disable].
 AF method
You can select [ u+Tracking ] or [FlexiZone - Single ]. See pages 
268-272 for the AF method.
 Continuous AF
The default setting is [ Disable].
When [ Enable ] is set, the camera attains rough focus on the subject 
continuously. This makes it quicker  to achieve focus when you press 
the shutter button halfway. If [ Enable] is set, the lens will operate 
constantly and consume more battery power. This will reduce the 
number of possible shots due to shorter battery life.
If you want to set the lens’s focus mode switch to < MF> during 
Continuous AF, first stop Live View shooting.

Grid display
With [ 3x3 l ] or [6x4 m], you can display grid lines to help you 
level the camera vertically or  horizontally. Also, with [3x3+diag n], 
the grid is displayed together  with diagonal lines to help you 
compose with better balance by al igning the intersections over the 
subject.
 Exposure simulation N
Exposure simulation simulates and  displays how the brightness of 
the actual image (exposure) will look.
•Enable  (g )
The displayed image brightness will be close to the actual 
brightness (exposure) of the re sulting image. If you set exposure 
compensation, the image bright ness will change accordingly.
• During  e (E /g )
Normally, the image is displayed at the standard brightness to 
make the Live View image easy to see. The image will be 
displayed close to the actual bri ghtness (exposure) of the resulting 
image only while you hold down the depth-of-field preview button.
• Disable ( E)
The image is displayed at the standard brightness to make the Live 
View image easy to see. Even if you set exposure compensation, 
the image is displayed at the standard brightness.

 Silent LV shooting N
•Mode 1 You can suppress the camera noise when shooting. Continuous 
shooting is also possible. If < o> is set, you can shoot at a 
maximum continuous shooting speed of approx. 5.0 fps.
•Mode 2 When the shutter button is press ed completely, only one shot will 
be taken. While you keep holding down the shutter button, the 
camera operation will be suspended. Then when you return to the 
shutter button’s halfway position, the camera operation will 
resume. The shooting noise is  thereby minimized. Even if 
continuous shooting is set, only  a single shot will be taken.
• Disable Be sure to set it to [Disable] if you use a TS-E lens (other than 
those listed in   below) for shifting or tilting the lens or if you 
use an Extension Tube. If [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ] is set, the standard 
exposure may not be obtained, or an irregular exposure may 
result.
 If you use [ Mode 1] with continuous shooting, the [ Disable] setting will 
be applied to the second and subsequent shots.
 When shooting with flash, the [ Disable] setting will be applied regardless 
of the [Silent LV shoot. ] setting. (Silent shooting cannot be performed.)
 When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [ Disable]. The flash will not 
fire if it is set to [ Mode 1] or [Mode 2 ].
 If [Mode 2 ] is set and you use a Remote Controller (p.237), the operation 
will be the same as with [ Mode 1].
With the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II lens, you can use [ Mode 1] 
or [ Mode 2 ].

You can set the AF method to [u(face)+Tracking ] (p.269) or 
[FlexiZone - Single ] (p.271) to suit the shooting conditions or subject.
If you want to achieve precise focus, set the lens’s focus mode switch to 
< MF >, magnify the image, and focus manually (p.275).
Select the AF method.
Under the [z 5] tab (the [z 3] tab in 
< A >), select [AF method ].

Using AF to Focus (AF Method)
The camera detects and focuses on human faces. If a face moves, the 
AF point  also moves to track the face.
1Display the Live View image.
 Press the < 0> button.
 The Live View image will appear on 
the LCD monitor.
2Select an AF point.
 When a face is detected, the < p> 
frame will appear over the face to be 
focused on.
 If multiple faces are detected, < q> 
will be displayed. Use < 9> to move 
the < q> frame over the face you 
want to focus on.
 If no faces are detected, the camera 
will switch to FlexiZone - Single 
(p.271).
3Focus on the subject.
Press the shutter button halfway to 
focus.
 When focus is achieved, the AF point 
will turn green and the beeper will 
sound.
 If focus is not achieved, the AF point 
will turn orange.
4Take the picture.
 Check the focus and exposure, then 
press the shutter button completely to 
take the picture (p.256).

Focusing on a subject other than a human face
Press < 9> or < 0> and the AF frame < > will appear in the 
center. Then use < 9> to move the AF frame over the desired 
subject. Once the AF frame < > achieves focus, it will track the 
subject even if the subject moves  or if you change the composition.
If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be 
possible. Adjust the focus manually (p.275) so that the face can be 
detected, then perform AF.
 An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
 Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the 
picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
 The  may cover only part of the face.
Since AF is not possible with a face  or a subject detected near the edge 
of the picture, the < p> or < > will be grayed out. If you press the 
shutter button halfway in this situation, the subject will be focused on with 
the FlexiZone - Single method.
 The size of the AF frame varies depending on the subject or the setting 
of [z 4: Crop/aspect ratio ].
