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 (illumination) within the image changes, the screen may flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual light source.

If you point the camera to 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, 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 [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 in the actual image.

Lens and Flash

The focus preset function is possible for Live View shooting only when using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed since the second half of 2011.

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