Similarly, with an Extension Tube and a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. or higher, the
exposure will be uneven at the top and bottom of the image.
When using an EX-series Speedlite, the
shooting sequence will be the same as
the EOS-1D Mark III's Live View
Function in either silent shooting Mode
1 or 2. In other words, after pressing
the shutter button all the way down to
initiate an exposure, the reflex mirror will drop down briefly in order to register the E-TTL
II preflash data, then the mirror will be moved out of the optical path during the actual
exposure.
The Live View Function metering timer is geared mainly
for still-life subjects. Live View Function enables the
metering timer to be changed to one of 6 settings from 4
sec. to 30 min.
Two useful features of Live View Function in the EOS-1D Mark III that appear in the
EOS 40D are:
• Live View Function exposure simulation (via C.Fn IV-7)
that displays images on the LCD monitor, simulating
the shooting exposure used during Live View Function,
with the same shutter speed, aperture and other expo
sure settings.
• A grid display that can be selected from the Live View
function setting menu
During Live View Function,
approximately 170 shots are
possible at 73°F/23°C and
approximately 130 shots are
possible at 32°F/0°C with flash
used on 50% of the exposures.
Without using flash, approxi-
mately 180 shots can be made
at 73°F/23°C and approximately
140 shots can be made at
32°F/0°C (in both cases, a fully-
charged Battery Pack BP-511A
is used and CIPA testing standards are observed).
An icon has been added to indicate that exposure simulation has been enabled.
