I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea. Whenever I use live view I always manually focus. I know that camera is capable of AF in LV but I've never tried it.

I found it. You hold the * button, it will focus, when it achieves focus lock the white box in the viewfinder turns green and the camera beeps. Works slick.

John, cute bug.

Harm, be cautious if you are to meet with those two women. Their charm is really powerful.

I am sure I could out do their charm with ye olde British accent...just have to make it polished and posh for the time

It does work quite good, but for macro I still find using manual focus works better for me.

I edited my siggy, so your tip stands alone.

They still claim that I have an accent.

I have still never used live view...

Kindred spirit!!

If I can ever think of a use for it, I might try it (I don't shoot macro).

Well, you surely must have one!!

Really? Though I have to say that the live view on the 40D is somewhat to be desired. Everything looks too soft on it. So I don't like to use it too much, but when using a tripod, it does come in handy...

For video it is required.

To turn it on it must be set as a custom function, then just press the live view button when you want it.

I almost never use it for still shots other then macro myself.
