Live View Shooting - Canon EOS 1D Mark III Instruction Manual

Live View Shooting

Instead of looking through the viewfinder, you can look at a real-time
image on the camera's LCD monitor while shooting. You can also
magnify the real-time image on the LCD monitor by 5x or 10x so you
can focus more precisely. Convenient when the camera is mounted on
a tripod for shooting still lifes, for example.
Preparing for Live View Shooting
During Live View shooting, do not point the camera toward the sun. The
sun's heat can damage the camera's internal components.
If you handhold the camera like a compact digital camera and shoot while
viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images. For Live
View shooting, mounting the camera on a tripod is recommended.
