40D grainy live view?

Hello, when using remote live view shooting on my PC with the 40D, the image is pretty grainy. I'm shooting at iso 100. Is this normal?

Nobody?

My Live View doesn't look grainy. At least I don't think it does. Did you try taking it back to the store and testing it against another 40D?

Here is an image capture of what I see:

What does the IQ on the camera LCD look like.

I guess it only does this in low light situations? I tried it outside and there was no grain

im confused

Pixel Saturation!! Low light, less light for each pixel, more noise, different from noise when using high ISO. Try added EV to your initial exposure to allow more light to each pixel.

Try upping the ISO under the same (low light) conditions. You may be seeing noise introduced by the postprocessing required to create the live image that would otherwise be underexposed. (Like "autoprocessing" an underexposed RAW looks "properly exposed" but noisy) In prints, there's not much more noise from ISO400 than ISO100 these days - not like the old film days
