Canon EOS - 1000D 450D 500D Live View Shooting

Take advantage of the big, bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor to compose photos with Live View shooting. This convenient alternative to the viewfinder is almost like using a compact digital camera. It is particularly suited for low- and high-angle shots or when using a tripod. Live View shooting is also great for verifying exposure and depth of field, giving you the opportunity to confirm both on the monitor before taking the picture. For compositions requiring close inspection, you can zoom 5x or 10x to check focus and other critical details. Two autofocus modes are available for Live View shooting. In rapidly changing environments, a quick autofocus mode lets you capture all the action with only a brief blackout between shots by accelerating autofocus response (Quick mode). Another easily selected mode allows uninterrupted viewing (Live mode) while shooting.
