Canon EOS 500D (Changing picture format!!)
Hey guys just got this camera off my Dad, but when i take a photo i have to look through the top lens, is there anyway i can get it on the screen? Like the photo below... Thanks
Also i took a load of photos today accidentally in the RAW mode and now i cant see them on my laptop, how can i convert them to JPG?

In the menu, go to 'liveview function settings' and enable that.
Once done click the SET button on the camera. It is only MF btw. Hope that helps

On my 60d I press the dedicated live view button and have 3 AF modes.
Look in your manual for liveview
