Shooting in Live View Mode

Although they will not appear in the final picture, banding or distortion may be visible in the
monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned
horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources may leave
after-images in the monitor when the camera is panned. Bright spots may also appear. When
shooting in live view mode, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.

The effects of aperture on depth of field can not be previewed in live view mode but are visible
in the final photograph.

Live view shooting ends automatically if the lens is removed.

Live view mode can be used for up to an hour. Note, however, that
when used in live view mode for extended periods, the temperature of
the camera’s internal circuits may rise, resulting in image noise and
unusual colors (the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this
does not indicated a malfunction). To prevent damage to the camera’s
internal circuits, live view shooting will end automatically before the
camera overheats. A count-down display will appear in the monitor
30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient temperatures, this display may appear
immediately when live view mode is selected.

To reduce blur when using a tripod, choose On for Custom Setting d10 (Exposure delay
mode
).

altered using exposure compensation (pg. 90). The effects of exposure compensation are
visible in the monitor during live view.
