Shooting Function Settings

As with normal shooting through the viewfinder, while the Live View image is displayed, you can still use the camera buttons to change settings and playback images.

Pressing the <W> <o> <y> <Z> <O> <A> button will display the setting screen on the LCD monitor. To change the setting, turn the <6> or <5> dial.

When you press the <B> button, turn the <6> dial to set the card and turn the <5> dial to set the image size or white balance while looking at the rear LCD panel.

The metering mode is fixed to evaluative metering for Live View shooting. Pressing the <A> button will lock the exposure for 16 sec.

To check the depth of field, press the depth-of-field preview button. During continuous shooting, the exposure set for the first shot will also be applied to subsequent shots.

Continuous Live View shooting is possible for approx. 3 hr. at 23°C/73°F or 2 hr. 50 min. at 0°C/32°F (with fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4).

Even during the Live View image display, image playback is possible by pressing <x>.

If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn off automatically as set with [5Auto power off] (p.52). If [5Auto power off] is set to [Off], the Live View shooting will stop automatically after approx. 30 min. (camera power remains on).

You can also autofocus by pressing the release button halfway on Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately). With the stereo AV cable (provided) or HDMI cable (sold separately), the Live View image can be displayed on a TV (p.170-171).
