I select the A+ mode. Taking the same shot twice, the camera flashes when using viewfinder but not when using LCD screen. Why?

I don't actually use this camera - I got it for my daughter. But Live View (which is what you're in when you're using the LCD) measures the light differently than when you're taking pictures using the viewfinder. At least one other person has reported an exposure problem related to A+ mode through the viewfinder but had no problem in Live View, which sounds similar to your experience. It could be a bug. Watch for future firmware updates from Canon.

If you are using a third party external speedlight, it will not fire in live view mode. I am not sure if it works with ttl speedlights but it definately doesnt work with manual speedlights.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

The only way I see this happening is if you have two monitors. If you only have the one monitor like me, You can switch from camera to camera in just seconds like i do. But i dont see it happening with the one monitor. I think this is the best camera system that they have to offer, because ive had nothing but problems with there other ones in the past. I also thought about buying another monitor.

I only bought this as a replacement camera and never used two cameras at the same time. Sorry to not be of assistance.

i have noted a constant 'clicking' which seemed to be related to moving the camera around. (much) closer inspection showed it to be the aperture opening and closing as the camera's lens is moved from dark to light areas. i believe that this is done in order to assure that the preview image in the viewfinder isn't over- or under-exposed. if you watch as the camera clicks, you will see an accompanying change in the light level in the lcd screen.

The default mode is "Auto". In this mode, when the camera detects you putting your eye up to the EVF (viewfinder) it automatically turns off the LCD and turn on the EVF. Take your eye away and it turns the EVF off and LCD on. You can also set up the camera via the menus to have only the LCD OR only the EVF turned on. You can't turn them both off at the same time, nor I think, would you want to since it would make it impossible to use the camera.

This could be due to what Scene Selection macro you have chosen. Go to Menu/ Camera-Mic/ and scroll down to Scene Selection. At the bottom of the screen are multiple selections for various scene situations. The Auto function is a normal selection, but if you are wanting to emphasize other effects, select one of these. Don't forget to go back to this menu for other subsequent scenes.NOTE: Whatever you select here also applies to any Still shots at this selection, so go back to this menu and select something else.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

You've got to keep some light off of the screen or possibly tilt the screen and hold the camera higher. This is a normal probelm with most digital LCD or LED screens.

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

you can't expect to leave the camera on IA mode and have it do everything for you. Need to use manual modes to achieve the results that you want. Experiment with the manual modes and see what they do. Chances are in bright or low light situations your going to find that manual mode will get you the results you're looking for once you're familiar with the settings. Good Day mate.

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

You need to turn the LCD facing inward in order to use the viewfinder. I don't think you can have both working at the same time .

Ya It does that, Camera doesn't detect this flash properly, It's uses setting as if your using the camera without flash, I use it only in manual mode or slave, If you use it in shutter control mode, I will try to increase the iso and Open the apature, So Just use manual mode only.

Touch menu button, then touch the outer ring where the flash indicator it located. When you have selected the mode the camera mode has an automatic flash. This should fix the problem. Each Mode has different flash modes. If this doesn't work for you then it may need factory service. Hope this helps.

I no longer have the device, but I seem to remember that you had to set a menu item or switch. You have an option to use the screen or the view finder. Also, see that it is properly connected to camera body.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.
