Shooting in Live View Mode

Although it will not appear in the final picture, distortion may be
visible in the monitor 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. Flicker and banding visible in the monitor under
fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps can be reduced using
Flicker reduction (

0 281), although they may still be visible in the

final photograph at some shutter speeds. 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.

Live view ends automatically when the monitor is closed (closing the
monitor does not end live view on televisions or other external
displays).

The Count Down Display

A count down will be displayed 30 s before live view ends
automatically (

0 168; the timer turns red 5 s before the auto off timer

expires (

0 253) or if live view is about to end to protect the internal

circuits). Depending on shooting conditions, the timer may appear
immediately when live view is selected.
