Hey Guys
I have a different issue, was trying to change the shutter mode from mechanical to electronic, but the function is not appearing non the menu. Any issues or worker round for this?
The Canon DX3 has context sensitive menus. The camera has to be in live view mode before the mechanical/electronic shutter options are available.
