On my Canon EOS 80D, when I’m in Live View and looking through menu options, the rear screen turns off after only a few seconds. I couldn’t find a setting to increase the timeout. Is there a way to make Live View stay on longer?

On the EOS 80D, Live View should normally remain on much longer than just a few seconds—typically up to around 30 minutes under normal conditions. If it is shutting off almost immediately, the most likely causes mentioned are:

  • a low battery, or
  • the camera getting too warm internally.

So first try a fully charged battery, and make sure the camera isn’t overheating from extended use or a hot environment. If both battery level and temperature are normal, the behavior is not typical and may indicate a camera setting you’ve overlooked or a possible fault.

Low battery life and camera internal temperature are two things that could cause this. I think the display should stay on for at least 30 minutes if these two conditions are normal
