Camera start in LiveView mode

[einor]

I always shooting in liveview mode. Is it possible to camera after power on immediately run in liveview mode?

On 5D Mark II and in movie mode, yes.

You can add a fake button press for BGMT_LV in boot-hack.c .

If you're shooting videos, setting the 60D's mode dial to movie mode (last item on the dial) will turn the camera on in live view.

On 5D Mark II and in movie mode, yes.

Tell me how to do it on the 5D Mark II? In the 550D camera in movie mode immediately incorporated into the video capture mode (LiveView), and 5D Mark II, even with the setting ML "Force LiveView" is included in the first mode, exposure settings for the photo, then switch to LiveView. Is it possible to automatically, without delay, power-5D Mark II camera just to get LiveView? Thanks in advance.

Yes, but only with a custom version that goes to LiveView before reading config file.

ML has to do some initialization (like: subscribe to camera events, read config file, load fonts... and this requires waiting for Canon firmware).
