I know we all love to chimp but, I think this would be a cool feature in all DSLRs and save us a step from actually chimping after the shot. Would this make your shooting alot easier or would it be better just to look at the histogram after the shot. I would like to know what everyone feels about it. Let's discuss! Thanks!

How's that? When I use Live View, you can only see it get brighter or darker. It's not a real determination whether or not the image will be exposed correctly.

Hmm... I have to go look at the manual on the 1Ds III. I never knew this even existed other than those grids and manually focusing. Thanks!

tonylong ...winded More info | Mar 18, 2010 13:08 | #12 Heh! It actually comes in quite handy -- think of shooting with fill flash but wanting to get a good exposure for ambient without the shoot-chim shoot-chimp. Make your ambient adjustments using Live View then you can just concern yourself with the right flash exposure. Tony
