Live View Recommended Settings:
Canon cameras use different ISO and white balance settings for camera mode and video\live view mode. In order to adjust these settings to record a video, it is necessary to override the settings for camera mode and set the ISO and white balance settings for the video and camera mode separately.
In order to configure the settings for this recording, open the Globals tab > Canon > Enable Override Camera Settings.
The recommended settings for this feature can be found in the following article: How To Use The Live View Feature
