(C.Fn IV -7)
When the [6 Live View function settings] menu’s [Grid display] is set
to [On], a grid will appear to make it easier to align the horizontal or
vertical shot.
When [8C.Fn IV -7] (Live View exposure simulation) is set to
[1:Enable(simulates exposure)], the Live View image will be displayed
with the brightness level simulating the exposure setting. This enables
you to see how the exposure looks before taking the picture. (p.163)
The histogram (p.118) will be displayed only when C.Fn IV -7-1 has been
set. If flash is used or bulb is set, the histogram will be grayed out. The
histogram may not be properly displayed in low light or bright light conditions.
During Live View shooting, if the < > warning icon (temperature
increase warning) is displayed, see page 107.
