Brackets in Live View

brandonallen962 — Thu, 26 Jan 2017 03:54:09 GMT

Hey I was just wondering, when I take photos in Live View mode on my Canon 5d Mark III there are brackets that are always on the outside of the image, even when I import them to lightroom and I was wondering how I could turn them off because I've looked everywhere in the settings and can't find anything. Thanks!

This does not make sense. It could be that Lightroom is showing the focus points - the brackets - and it is an option you can turn off. They are *not* on the image.

Crop lines maybe? Do you have them set in Custom Functions?

There are a couple of settings for Live View that could have presented in what you're seeing:

1. You have the grid display enabled

2. You have set an aspect ration that requires cropping...

I think it's the # 2 if the "brackets" are outside the images. Here is the excerpts of the manual that talks about it:
