Problem is, I cant get a continuous "live view" image on the monitor, as you need to hold down the * button whilst in live view to auto focus, so I have to put up with just the shot thats been taken showing up after each shot instead!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Does anyone know of a canon that would offer a continuous live view image on my monitor, without having to press the * button to auto focus?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Ideally it would be one from the list below, as they are the cameras that my new hahnel wireless remote supports!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I hope someone can help! cheers!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>List of supported cameras...would any of these offer live view without the need to press * to autofocus and take a shot:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Compatible Camera Models:<BR /><BR />EOS 1200D / 1100D / 1000D / 650D / 600D / 550D /500D / 450D / 400D / 350D / 300D /<BR />70D / 60D / 50D / 40D / 30D / 20D / 20Ds /<BR />10D / 7D / 6D / 5D / 5D Mark II / 5D Mark III<BR />1D / 1DX / 1DC / 1Ds Mark III / 1Ds Mark IV<BR />SX50HS<BR />Powershot G10 / G11 / G12 / G15 / G1X Mk II<BR />Pentax Pentax K-5 II / K-5 IIs / K-5 / K-7 / K10 / K20 / K50 / K100 /<BR />K200 / K500<BR />Samsung GX10 / GX20</P> Wed, 19 Mar 2014 18:56:06 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/help-with-live-view-new-camera-options/m-p/75918#M24238 suffolkcanon 2014-03-19T18:56:06Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/help-with-live-view-new-camera-options/m-p/75928#M24239 <P>What camera are you using?&nbsp; Most "modern" Canon SLRs allow you to set focus during live view. &nbsp; You move a little rectangle around to select your focus area. &nbsp; But you need more than a monitor, you'd either need a computer (like a small netbook) running EOS Utility, or a tablet with DSLR Remote or equivilent on it.&nbsp; The 70D and 6D both have WiFi ability, so you can do it from a smart phone, tablet, or computer, no wires needed.</P> Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:52:25 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/General-Discussion/help-with-live-view-new-camera-options/m-p/75928#M24239 Skirball 2014-03-19T19:52:25Z
