Live View Shooting Cautions
Image Quality
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (such as dots of light and
banding) may become noticeable.
Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in the image.
If Live View shooting is used continuously for a long period, the camera’s
internal temperature may rise, degrading image quality. Stop Live View
shooting when not shooting images.
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is
high, image quality may be degraded. Stop Live View shooting and wait
a few minutes before shooting again.
White <s> and Red <E> Internal Temperature Warning
If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live
View shooting or a high ambient temperature, a white icon <s> will
appear. If you continue shooting while this icon is displayed, the image
quality may be degraded. It is recommended to temporarily exit Live
View shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.
If the camera’s internal temperature further increases while the white icon
<s> is displayed, a red icon <E> will start blinking. This blinking icon is a
warning that the Live View shooting will soon end automatically. If this
happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the camera’s internal
temperature decreases. Turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period
will cause the <s> and <E> icons to appear earlier. When you are not
shooting, turn off the camera.
If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the image quality of high ISO
speed images or long exposures may be degraded even before the
white icon <s> is displayed.
Shooting Result
If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out as
desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture. In magnified view,
the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in orange. Even if you take the
picture in magnified view, the image will be captured in the normal view.
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.146) is not set to [Disable], the
image may look bright even if a decreased exposure compensation or
decreased flash exposure compensation was set.
If you use a TS-E lens to shift the lens vertically or use an Extension Tube, the
standard exposure may not be obtained or an irregular exposure may result.
