Info Display; Shooting Sequence - Canon EOS 1D Mark III - Digital Camera SLR User Manual

Info Display

Below the image, the shutter speed, aperture, exposure level (exposure compensation
amount, AEB level), flash exposure level, shots remaining, and ISO speed are displayed.
In the magnified view, the magnified location, magnification, and AE lock status are
displayed on the right of the image. In addition, when you press the INFO button, the
Picture Style, battery check, AE lock status, and flash-ready are also displayed on the
lower left of the image. If C. Fn IV -16-1 is set and you press the INFO button again, a
brightness or RGB histogram appears on the right of the image. (For flash shots and
bulb, the histogram display will be grayed out.)
Press the INFO button again and only the Live View image (without information) will be
displayed. If [Grid display: On] has been set, a four-line grid will be displayed on the image.
This can be used to check the vertical or horizontal orientation of the image. The grid
appears only in the full view mode (not in the magnified view). Also, with C. Fn IV -14
[Add aspect ratio information] set anywhere from 1 to 6, you can shoot in the same
aspect ratio as 6 x 4.5cm, 6 x 6 cm, 6 x 7cm, and 4 x 5 in., corresponding to medium-
and large-format film sizes. When this feature is set, vertical lines matching the respective
aspect ratio will appear on the screen. You can then compose the subject within this
frame. Since the aspect ratio information will be appended to the image, when you open
the image with Digital Photo Professional 3.0, the image will be displayed in the aspect
ratio that was set. Note that the image areas outside the vertical lines are not actually
deleted and that when the image is played back with the camera, the vertical lines
matching the aspect ratio will also appear.

Shooting Sequence

During Live View shooting, the picture is displayed and then the reflex mirror locks up
automatically to maintain Live View display (and returns later). The Live View display's
frame rate is approx. 30 fps. The picture remains smooth even if you change the camera's
direction or if the subject moves. If the camera direction is changed to a scene with a very
different light level, the Live View picture's brightness will be thrown off for a moment. If
this happens, wait until the picture brightness stabilizes again before shooting.
