K5 Live View won't turn on.....HELP

Setting up for macro on the Bellows with 100mm f4 macro.

Trying to get rid of the under/over red /yellow & I've turned off all Custom settings1 ( I know, I know.....!)

Now all I get when pushing LV button is " Cannon start Live View"The manual starts off the chapter on LV by presuming it's "on"!

Can anyone push me in the right direction, since the red/yellow thing was nasty but this is even worse!!''


A little progress. I can get LV with the lens directly on the body, but nt when I switch to manual aperture setting, as when on the Bellows



GOT IT! USING APERTURE RING!

HURRAH
& thanks for looking,

Thanks in anticipation,

Roger.

Live view will not operate if the aperture ring is set to prohibited in the custom menu - 27 using Aperture ring. I have just tried that with my K5 and you will be pleased to hear that on pressing the LV button, I got the same message! Set aperture ring to permitted and that should solve your problem. Good luck
