A
Exposure
Depending on the scene, exposure may differ from that which would
be obtained when live view is not used. Metering in live view is
adjusted to suit the live view display, producing photographs with
exposure close to what is seen in the monitor (note that exposure
compensation can only be previewed in the monitor at values
between +3 EV and –3 EV). To prevent light entering via the viewfinder
from appearing in the photograph or interfering with exposure, we
recommend that you cover the viewfinder with your hand or other
objects such as an optional eyepiece cap (
0 331) before taking
pictures without your eye to the viewfinder ( 0 76).
A
HDMI
When the camera is attached to an HDMI video device, the video
device will display the view through the lens. If the device supports
HDMI-CEC, select Off for the HDMI > Device control option in the
setup menu (
0 223) before shooting in live view.
