If so, you need to cover the eyepiece with the little rubber cover that came with the camera to prevent stray light from entering the camera.</P> Wed, 12 Jun 2019 03:52:21 GMT kvbarkley 2019-06-12T03:52:21Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Live-View-vs-Viewfinder-Exposure/m-p/275502#M62470 <P>I have a Canon 7D. I have recently come across an anomaly with shooting in live view vs the viewfinder. I shoot in manual. With identical exposure triangle settings, the live view images are about 2/3 stops brighter than the images from the viewfinder. I have taken photos of the same scene that has consistent lighting, and the exposures are different. This has happened with my Canon 50mm 1.8 and my Canon 70-200 2.8. Can someone explain why this is happening?</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2019 23:31:14 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Live-View-vs-Viewfinder-Exposure/m-p/275502#M62470 rbngrz 2019-06-11T23:31:14Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Live-View-vs-Viewfinder-Exposure/m-p/275515#M62471 <P>Are you using a tripod?
