Live View Shooting Cautions

Notes About the Live View Image

Under low or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image.

If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop and resume the Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used.

If you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the Live View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level stabilizes before shooting.

If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.

In low light, if you set the [6 LCD brightness] to a bright setting, chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the chrominance noise will not be recorded in the captured image. When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is.

About the <E> icon and camera’s internal temperature increase

When you shoot continuously with the Live View function for a long period or in high temperatures, the camera's internal temperature may increase and the <E> warning icon will appear on the screen. Note that if you shoot with the Live View function for a long period in high temperatures, the <E> warning icon will appear earlier. Turn off the camera when not shooting images.

If you shoot with the Live View function while the <E> warning icon is displayed, the image quality of still photos may be degraded. You should stop Live View shooting and allow the camera to rest until the camera’s internal temperature decreases.

If Live View shooting continues while the <E> warning icon is displayed, the camera’s internal temperature will further increase and Live View shooting may stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the camera’s internal temperature decreases. Turn off the camera and allow the camera to rest for a while.
