Function Settings - Canon EOS 1D Mark III - Digital Camera SLR User Manual

If flash is used, the mirror must come down briefly. Pressing the shutter button completely
will cancel the mirror lockup and the metering sensor will execute E-TTL II flash metering
control (preflash fired and the correct flash output is retained). Then the reflex mirror is
locked up again and the picture is taken. For continuous shooting, the same 10 fps
maximum shooting speed as with normal shooting can be achieved. During continuous
shooting, the LCD monitor is off. After the shooting ends, the captured image is displayed
on the LCD monitor. When the image display ends, the camera returns to the Live View
display automatically.
As with viewfinder shooting, pressing the AE lock button during Live View shooting will
lock the current exposure and an asterisk will appear on the LCD monitor. During magnified
view, AE lock will be applied automatically to the exposure level of the full view display.
The Tv and Av settings will be displayed in orange. During the magnified view, the AE lock
button will not work. With C. Fn IV -16-1, the picture brightness is also locked.
Normally, the Live View picture displayed by the LCD
monitor is always displayed at the correct brightness,
regardless of the exposure setting, for easy viewing similar
to compact digital cameras. However, if C. Fn IV -16 [Live
View exposure simulation] is set to 1, the picture is
displayed based on the exposure setting's brightness.
This enables you to see the exposure condition before
taking the picture. The picture will be displayed at almost
the same brightness as how the actual exposure will look.
However, under low light or bright light (outside the dis-
playable brightness range), the picture brightness might
not look the way the actual exposure will be. Exposure
simulation will not work with flash or bulb exposures.
If you press the depth-of-field preview button, exposure simulation will be active at all
times regardless of the C. Fn IV -16 setting.

Function Settings

The metering mode is set to AF point-linked evaluative
metering. Other shooting settings (shooting mode, drive
mode, image size, ISO speed, exposure compensation,
etc.) can be set in the same way as during viewfinder
shooting. The metering timer is 16 sec. (including AE
lock). Focus presets with super telephoto lenses cannot
be used. Even during Live View shooting, the power will turn off after the [Auto power off]
time elapses. During Live View display, pressing the MENU or playback button will
terminate the Live View shooting and the menu screen and image playback will appear.
