5Dmkiii live view problem

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with my 5d when it comes to live view. Occasionally, when I half press the shutter down, the mirror will flip but nothing will happen. I'm not sure if I've set a bizzare setting or if there is something genuinely wrong with my camera, but it's meaning I have to use my eyepiece until it stops having a tantrum.

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks!

That's the camera focusing. The mirror flip up, then back down again once it achieves focus. If you don't want it, switch to LIVE MODE instead of Quick Mode.
