Try this - go into the Live View menu settings and then into the Silent Live View shooting mode settings. Change the setting to “Disable” and it should work. The first two silent Live View settings also disable the use of flash and screw up the older TS-E lens and extension tube exposures and I think it screw up the the cable release function as well.
Done. Haven't tested it though. Any downside of leaving in the disable mode? I just want to keep it simple and not have to switch back and forth unless I really need to. Thanks
Ray, the only downside is that you can't see the effects of changing the exposure when you use exposure compensation. It will display a nice bright image regardless of your exposure settings. If you cycle the Info button to show the histogram, or check the capture/histogram after taking a photo it's not a big deal. The upside is that it's a lot easier to focus in dark conditions.
Also, quick mode uses phase detect AF which isn't always reliable in low light. The slower contrast AF is generally the most accurate way to AF and actually works in lower light than phase AF. Just make sure to give it an area with some contrast.
