Edge Overlay < Main Menu!
Enable edge overlay Enable [•] / Disable [ ]
Creates and overlays a high-contrast outline of the edges in
the last half-press or shot that you took. Valuable for those
that want to align features for panorama stitching or for doing
stop-frame animations. Similar to an "onion-skinning" mode
in animation software. During shoot mode half or full press
this feature adds an overlay based on the image edges,
additionally a grid that matches the Canon grid is added.
Use the left, right, up or down buttons to shift the overlay (use it in <ALT> mode to avoid
changing the camera options). The edge overlay is frozen when taking a shot. The frozen edges
are displayed from then on when the shutter gets half-pressed, FROZEN is shown in the OSD.
When you shoot again it goes back to the original behavior: showing the edges of the current
image on half-press. This behavior is useful when shooting stereo pairs. For panoramas you
would want to freeze the edges after every full press.
Zebra mode should be disabled when using the Edge Overlay.
