as you hold down the shutter button. (Chapter 2 has details.) Although the highest number that the viewfinder can display is 9, the actual number of maximum burst frames may be higher. At any rate, you don’t really need to pay attention to the number until it starts dropping toward 0, which indicates that the camera’s memory buffer (its temporary internal data-storage tank) is filling up. If that happens, just give the camera a moment to catch up with your shutter-button finger.
Another way to keep track of shooting information is through the LCD panel on top of the camera, shown in Figure 1-18. Don’t see any data in the panel? The camera is probably in sleep mode; give the shutter button a half-press to wake it up.
FIGURE 1-18: The top LCD panel is another useful situational awareness tool.
As with the viewfinder and Shooting Settings display, the panel shows you the shots remaining value and battery status, as labeled in Figure 1-18. One other critical setting is also present: the status of the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi feature. By default, it’s turned off, as indicated in the figure.
Switching to Live View Mode
Like most dSLRs sold today, your camera offers Live View, which disables the viewfinder and instead displays a live preview of your subject on the camera monitor. The following list explains the basics of using Live View:
❯❯
Why would Canon give you the option to disable Live View functionality? Because it’s easy to accidentally press the Live View button and switch to that mode when you don’t really want to go there.
❯❯ Engaging Live View for movie recording: For movie recording, simply moving the On/Off switch to the Movie mode setting, represented by the movie-camera symbol, engages Live View. You can’t use the viewfinder in Movie mode, so the setting of the Live View Shoot menu option has no impact.
In Movie mode, pressing the Live View button starts and stops recording. To exit Movie mode, move the On/Off switch to On if you want to begin shooting stills or to Off if you’re done shooting.
FIGURE 1-19: In Live View mode, a live preview of your subject appears on the monitor, and the viewfinder is disabled.
FIGURE 1-20: To use Live View, make sure this menu option is set to Enable.
