Live View Shooting Cautions

Live View Image

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

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

If you point the camera in a different direction, it may 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 may appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.

In low light, if you set the [52: LCD brightness] to a bright setting, noise or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the noise or irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image. When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is.

Custom Functions

During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take effect (p.314).

Lens and Flash

The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.

FE lock and modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.
