This takes effect in the shutter-priority AE (Tv)and aperture-priority AE (Av) modes. If thesubject brightness changes and the standardexposure cannot be obtained within theautoexposure range, the camera will automaticallychange the manually-selected setting to obtain astandard exposure
This works in the Program AE (P), shutter-

This function does NOT work with macro
lenses whose actual aperture f/number

Under [ 2: ISO speed settings], even if
[ISO speed range] or [Min. shutter spd.] is
changed from the default setting, safety shift
will override it if a standard exposure cannot
be obtained.
The minimum and maximum ISO speeds of the
safety shift using the ISO speed will be
determined by the [Auto ISO range] setting
(p.181). However, if the manually set ISO speed
exceeds the [Auto ISO range], the safety shift
will take effect up or down to the manually set
ISO speed. Safety shift will take effect if
necessary even when flash is used.

If you set cropping information, vertical lines for the aspect
ratio you have set will appear on the Live View image. You
can then compose the shot as if you were shooting with a
medium- or large-format camera (6x6 cm, 4x5 inch, etc.).
When you take a picture, the aspect ratio information for
cropping the image with the EOS software will be appended
to the image. (The image is recorded to the card without
being cropped.)
After the image is transferred to a computer, you can use
Digital Photo Professional (EOS software, p.537) to easily
crop the image to the aspect ratio that was set.
If [ 5: Aspect ratio] is set to any setting other than
[3:2], the cropping information will not be appended to the
image.
Cropping information will also be appended for
viewfinder shooting. However, the cropping information
will not be displayed.If cropping information is added to a RAW image, the imagecannot be cropped with the camera's RAW image processing.

EOS 5D Mark IV: Free up card spaceIf you are running out of memory card space and need to free some up to continue shooting, you canuse the protect image feature to make this easier. Instead of deleting images one by one, instead gothrough and Protect the images you wish to keep. Once the images are protected, you can use theErase All images (NOT Format) to delete those images not protected.
To make this process even faster, in the Yellow-3 menu tab, set the RATE button function option to‘Protect’. Instead of having to go to the menu to protect each image, you will now be able to do itdirectly with the RATE button while viewing the image in playback.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Zoom reviewWhen reviewing images in playback mode on the EOS 5D Mark IV, you can select various methods ofmagnification.One popular one is to zoom to ‘Actual Size’ (from selected point) which shows you a 100 percentview at your active focus point.This is a very quick way to check critical Sharpness.If you set this and then zoom in, but find the camera is zooming to the centre of the image, checkwhich AF setting you are using – in :-)+tracking or FlexiZone – Single the camera will always zoom tothe middle of the frame rather than the active AF point.It is also worth checking whether you have Distortion Correction enabled as this will also cause thecamera to zoom to the middle of the image.
EOS 5D Mark IV: AF points and Zones in Live ViewWhen shooting in Live View on the EOS 5D Mark IV, there are a variety of aspect ratio optionsavailable for your final image.The aspect ratio you select will affect the number of AF points and zones available. In 3:2, 4:3 and16:9 there will be 63 AF points and 9 Zones.However, if you switch to 1:1 to create a square, you will have 49 AF points and 9 Zones.If you wish to keep access to the maximum number of AF points, then use any ration other than 1:1and then crop your image afterwards on the computer.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Servo AFThe EOS 5D Mark IV, like most recent EOS cameras, features the ability to set the recording quality toRAW, M-RAW and S-RAW as well as a variety of JPEG options. If you plan to shoot in Servo AF (AI Servo) to track moving subjects, then no matter which RAWsetting you use (RAW, M-RAW or S-RAW) your images will be recorded in full RAW.If you have AI Servo enabled, you will be unable to set M-RAW or S-RAW.To use either of the smaller RAW file options, select One Shot focus instead.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Exposure SimulationShooting in Live View on many EOS cameras allows you to see what the image will look like beforeyou press the shutter button. This is very useful for situations where the camera is on a tripod, forexample when shooting landscapes. If you are looking at the Live View screen and the Exp.SIM iconand the histogram are in grey, then you are not seeing the true brightness setting. This is because youare either shooting in BULB mode or with flash, or you have set Multi Shot Noise Reduction or HDRmode. In these cases, the image displayed will be at the ‘average’ brightness. In these situations youwill need to rely on the exposure scale to help judge your exposure.
[email protected]© June 7th 2018 Version A
EOS 5D Mark IV: Live View HistogramWhen shooting in Live View, the live histogram is one of the most useful features, especially whenshooting landscapes. It allows you to see, in real time, the exposure of the image with your currentsettings. To access it, press “INFO” repeatedly until it appears on the Live View display. If it doesn’tcome up, then you’ll need to check the camera menu – the Live Histogram can only be displayedwhen “Exposure Simulation” is set to “Enable”.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Exposure Compensation in Live ViewThe EOS 5D Mark IV features up to 5-stops of exposure compensation when shooting, to account forvery bright or dark subjects. When you are shooting in Live View or Movie shooting mode though, youwill find only 3-stops of range are possible. If you wish to access the full five stops of range, either exitLive View, or if you’re in Movie mode, switch to manual and manually set the exposure as required.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Exposure CompensationThe EOS 5D Mark IV features up to five stops of exposure compensation. However, when lookingthrough the viewfinder or on the top LCD panel, only 3-stops of range can be seen on the scale. Tomake use of the full 5 stops of compensation, press the Q button to access the Quick Control displayscreen on the rear LCD or set the compensation through the camera menu.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Auto ISOThe EOS 5D Mark IV allows you to set the ISO to Auto, while the Shutter speed and Aperture are setmanually.This allows you to KEEP the particular Shutter speed and Aperture you require while allowingthe ISO to Adjust to achieve the correct Exposure.In this setting, exposure compensation can also be used to adjust the standard metered exposure.If you find the exposure compensation seems to have no effect, this is likely because you are usingflash.With flash, even if exposure compensation is set, it will have NO effect.
EOS 5D Mark IV: M + Auto ISOIf you are shooting in Auto ISO using P, Tv or Av and have set exposure compensation, then if youswitch to M, be aware that any exposure compensation set in any of the previous modes will betranslated to M.If you wish to cancel this, you should reset the exposure compensation to 0.
EOS 5D Mark IV: Lock SwitchThe Lock Switch has been a feature of EOS cameras for several generations, but in the EOS 5D MarkIV it has gained new features – instead of simply locking the Main or Quick command dial, it can beconfigured to lock various other functions too.One such function is the touch screen.If you normally use the touch screen but would like to disable it quickly, instead of searching in themenu for the setting to disable it, simply configure the Lock Switch to do so.This will help avoid accidental touch screen presses when shooting.
