When you focus with Canon's Live View, the "Focus Mode" is 257.

System: Linux Fedora

$ exiftool -ver
12.16
$ exiftool AC5I8940.JPG | grep "Focus Mode"
Focus Mode                      : Unknown (257)

A sample image is here: http://wballphotos.com/liveview1.jpg

Thanks!  This will appear in version 12.17.

The Continuous Shooting Speed value is "Unknown (16)" in this image.  Do you know what that means?

Yes. In the menu there are now five (!) settings for "Continuous shooting speed": "High speed", "Medium Speed", "Low Speed", "Soft Continuous Shoot" and "Soft LS Continuous". These values are in frames per second.

In this shot "High speed" was set to 16, "Medium speed" was set to 10, "Low Speed" was set to 3, "Soft Continuous Shoot" was set to 8 and "Soft LS Continuous" was set to 3.

Unlike other previous 1D models, there's no way to disable this setting so there is no "Disable" flag.
