I am having a problem turning on Live View on my 40D. I updated the Live View menu setting to enable but still no Live View. After studying the manual and my Photo Bert 40D card I believe that I have everything set correctly. Does anybody have a clue as to what I'm missing?

After using it a couple of times and seeing the precision you can achieve with the focus I am completely blown away.

I finally found it in the "my menu" settings and just do it that way.. Also the grid and extra digital zoom feature I use while in live mode and MLU helps focusing 10 fold! 7D, 40D, 28-135mm IS, 50mm 1.8 II, 100mm 2.8L, 70-200mm 2.8L IS, 580 ex II
