[QUOTE="yuridarian, post: 300458, member: 24650"] 1) Liveview is the mode where the image being captured by the sensor is shown at the lcd on the back of the camera. Even if you swich to manual mode, on the mode dial, while in Liveview, you will not be able to see the effect of ISO and shutter speed changes on the image being captured. You´ll only be able to see the result of the adjusted exposure when you actually take the shot. When shooting video the situation gets worse! The original firmware only allows you to choose the desired aperture and adjusts automatically the rest for you. With the hacked firmware you are able to set a desired exposure and film using such exposure. The only way around this using the original firmware is to use brighter and darker parts of your scenario to adjust the auto exposure by pointing your camera at those areas and locking the exposure by using the AE-lock button.
