Setting The Shooting Functions - Canon EOS 1D Instruction Manual

Displaying Live View Image on the LCD Monitor
During Live View image display, if you point the camera in a different direction, it
might throw off the correct brightness momentarily and the image might not look
right. Wait until the image stabilizes at the correct brightness before shooting.
If you shoot while the image brightness is not yet stable, the resulting image
might be overexposed or underexposed.
If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this
happens, press <0> to end the shooting, then with the new light source in
place, press <0> again to resume shooting.

Setting the Shooting Functions

In the same way as during normal shooting through the viewfinder, you
can set the shooting functions (shooting mode, drive mode, memory
card selection, image size, ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance,
exposure compensation, AEB, AE lock, flash exposure compensation,
etc.) while looking at the top/rear LCD panel or LCD monitor.
Only the metering mode cannot be changed. Focusing point-linked
evaluative metering with the imaging element will take effect.
Continuous shooting is possible.
The metering and AE lock activated with the <A> button will remain
active for 16 sec.
To set the white balance, memory card selection, or image size, press
the <B> button and set it with the <5> or <6> dial.
The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.
With the camera ready to shoot,
press <0>.
The Live View image will appear on
the LCD monitor in real-time with
100% field of view.
With the video cable (provided)
connecting the camera to a TV set, you
can view images on the TV. (p.122)
