This is why Pye exclaimed earlier that it matters which camera system is being used. It’s worth noting that this reason may not hold up in the future because viewfinder and live view focusing are identical in mirrorless cameras. The live view system ensures accuracy because it is verifying the sharpness of pixels and not using a mechanical or cross-type autofocus like you’d use when shooting through the viewfinder. With the touch shutter enabled in live view mode, Pye was able to simply tap on the LCD monitor and capture multiple tack sharp images in a row, despite using a wide open aperture (f/1.4) on the Sigma lens. To support the notion that live view produces more accurately focused images, Pye captured a few quick shots of the video crew using the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 lens. The accuracy and effectiveness of the DPAF when using live view became the number one reason for using live view on most of Pye’s shoots, even if it DID make him look like a noob. At a wide open aperture on a prime lens, slightly off can make a big difference. Through the viewfinder, however, Pye found the camera system would often produce back or front-focused images in which the focus point would be slightly off from the intended target. This is particularly useful when shooting at wide open apertures with prime lenses. Using live view, all one has to do is tap any point on the screen where the focus should be, and the autofocus system responds with tack sharp images.
which only works in live view and uses an intensely accurate pixel-based focusing system. The 5D Mark IV includes a special focusing feature called Dual Pixel Autofocus (DPAF). The reason for this has to do with the focusing accuracy in regards to the camera system being used.
Whenever Pye shoots on his Canon 5D Mark IV, he often uses live view to capture portraits. Reason #1 to Use Live View: Focusing Accuracy In this article, Pye shares when and why he chooses to use live view to capture images, as well as when the viewfinder is the best option.
BEST VIEWFINDER FOR LIVEVIEW PROFESSIONAL
It may seem a curious choice for a professional photographer, but there’s a good reason for it (actually TWO great reasons)! If you’ve ever watched behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage of Pye Jirsa taking photos, then you’ve no doubt seen him capturing portraits while using live view on his camera.
