05Xrunner Goldmember, Flipflopper.  More info | Sep 14, 2007 13:41 | #2 looks good. I got to play with a 40D at best buy today. Focus does seem to be faster. I tried the live view but couldnt figure out how to get it to work with AF. The controls and settings sure feel different then my 30D..I want one My gear

But I put Live View to work yesterday, so it is useful. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~

Though MF with live view is easy as pie, so it's rather pointless. Black boxes, glass shards

You have to set several features! - CnFn III-6 to on - Lens on AF - Drive to OneShot - Use AF-ON, press and hold until its beep to confirm the focus - press the shutter to shot Good luck! I don't recall reading that in the manual and I couldn't figure it out. I just assumed that you couldn't AF in Live View since one of the first things you have to do is put the lens on MF according to the manual. We learn something new everyday I guess. I'll have to try it when I get home from work. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~

Yeah, if it works clumsy like that I'm not sure if I'd want to use AF with Live View in the first place. ~Spaceships Don't Come Equipped With Rear View Mirrors~
