I'm having an issue with my 80D where I get a message on the screen every time I go into live view. The message reads "This function is not available during live view shooting" or "This function is not available in the movie shooting mode" depending on which mode I'm in.
The message appears as a large box covering most of the viewing area on the LCD and doesn't go way. I can take stills in live view (can't see what I'm focusing on though), but I can't start video recording at all. Autofocus works fine, but I can't see what I'm focusing on.
Here's the strange thing. If I push and hold the DOF preview button, the box goes away and I can take a pic or start recording. As soon as I release the DOF button, the box with the message comes back.
Anyone ever have something like this happen?
BTW, taking stills through the viewfinder is functioning perfectly. Pictures attached

Thanks I've done that at least twice, once with Canon on the line.
BTW, it just happened out of nowhere while I was shooting. It was fine one second and not the next. Nothing was changed.

Greetings,
I agree with Waddizzle. A setting is likely the cause of this behavior. The message is not an error, I believe its the camera telling you it can't do something with the current settings or shooting mode you have selected.
I've spent several hours now learning the cause and effect relationship a setting can have under different shooting modes, and my camera has 2 independant and very different Photo and CINE menus.
