Why Use Live View?

2. You can focus anywhere in the frame.

In live view, you can use the multi selector to position the focus point anywhere in the frame, regardless of the options selected for AF/MF and autofocus.

The ability to position the focus point anywhere in the moni- tor’s angle of view greatly increases the range of locations on which the camera can focus.

In autofocus mode, you can focus on the subject in the select- ed focus point by pressing the shutter-release button halfway or pressing the Bbutton. In manual focus mode, focus can be adjusted by rotating the lens focus ring.

Why Use Live View?

3. You can zoom in for precise focus.

Press the Xbutton to magnify the view in the monitor by up to 23× for precise focus during live view. You will find this particularly ef- fective with manual focus.
