It has to do with Live View. It means "Exposure Simulation". It has to do with showing, on the screen, a reasonable facsimile of what you're actually getting, exposure-wise. Normally the camera takes a picture then generates a small JPG after the fact to show you what you shot, but that's not how live view works. Instead, the camera has to calculate on the fly and provide you continually updated feedback.
So that's what it is. But I have never used it. Try checking your manual in the "Live View" shooting section to see what else you can learn. I'll check our 7D manual meanwhile.

i did a little looking around on the net... found out that it's probably from shooting in a room that's a little too dark for it's preferences :-)
Bear - wanted to thank you for your help - you've been there for me since the beginning and have never once picked up a torch or a pitchfork because of any of my stupid questions :-)
~~~Thank you~~~ <3 |

Okay, I just found it:
It's accessed from the menu that has the Live View functions in it. It can be either "enabled" or "disabled". In the enabled mode, the Live View actually shows you what the image is gonna look like, so if you're underexposing or overexposing, for whatever reason, that's how the LCD will look. This can make it really hard to use the function in a dark, underexposed situation. In the disabled mode, the LCD screen has no relationship to the actual exposure you're going to get, so it may be much brighter and easier to use.

| Try and break the habit of using live view... for landscapes on a tripod sure, but any other application your viewfinder is infinately better. Not only do people look rediculous holding SLRs like that you can't stabilize the camera properly and you'll just end up with blurry photos. |

sorry but not my experience. I am using liveview very much with my manual lenses and no blurry photos because of it. In fact i can focus much better because of it now.

| Not your focusing abilities it boils down to camera shake I can hold a 1/8th with a 50mm because of the way I hold the camera you just can't do that if you don't properly brace your camera. If your are holding a big slr out front like a point and shoot you increase the risk of camera shake. |

how about holding 135mm like that and shooting at F2.5 with focus area zoomed on lcd of camera.
I do this habitually.
about holding camera at 1/8th, i do not need to bother much as i can switch on in-body stablization. :-D

| I have found I don't get much blur since this camera came with an image stabilizer. This camera is so cool, it makes me sing..."every little thing she does is magic". Love it so much I named it... "Tru". Kudos to Canon, I love you! |

We got ours at Best Buy. Happened to know one of the managers and he held it for us. |

The T2i has an in camera image stabilizer!!!!! so cool! That was my favorite feature on my old Pentax.
Problem now is, I can't find a T2i in stock anywhere... |

Good choice. I've had my T1i for a year (or 8 months, depending on if you include repair time). Bought a Tamron 18-270 zoom in December. Now it looks like I have a CAMERA (which helps you get chased away from malls, etc.). I've had a fairly hefty learning curve moving from the Fuji S700 to the Canon - they really are two completely different animals, and require different care and feeding. I really like the T1i's size - it fits in my expando-briefcase and laptop wheelie bag, so it is fairly easy to take along. Hope you really like the new T2i.

Oops, see you already bought the T2i. You will enjoy it, a friend at work got one and loves it.

I don't think this is true. I haven't read that in any review of the camera.

| I am now the proud owner of the T2i for 3 weeks and have found it to be my go to camera. I miss the 40D But the 18MP and better auto focus is hard to pass up with the new camera. There is no 'in camera' stabilization. Canon only has IS in some of it's point and shoot cameras, not any DSLR. |
