Shooting - Canon MARK II EOS 5D Instruction Manual

ShootingN
Live View shooting is effective for still subjects whose distance to the
camera does not change. If you handhold the camera and shoot while
viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images.
Using a tripod is recommended.
Operations During Live View Display
As with normal shooting through the viewfinder, while the Live View
image is displayed, you can still use the camera buttons to change
settings and playback images.
When you press the <o > or <m> button, the setting
screen will appear on the LCD monitor and you can change the
settings.
During Live View shooting, the metering mode will be set to
evaluative metering regardless of the current metering mode setting.
To check the depth of field for still photos, press the depth-of-field
preview button. The image brightness displayed will be close to the
actual brightness of the resulting image.
During continuous shooting, the exposure set for the first shot will
also be applied to subsequent shots.
