Live view ends unexpectedly or does not start: Live view may end automatically to prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits if:

•The ambient temperature is high

•The camera has been used for extended periods in live view or to record movies

•The camera has been used in continuous release modes for extended periods

If live view does not start when you press the abutton, wait for the internal circuits to cool and then try again. Note that the camera may feel warm to the touch, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

Image artifacts appear during live view: The temperature of the camera’s internal circuits may rise during live view, causing image “noise” in the form of bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog. Exit live view when the camera is not in use.

Flicker or banding appears during live view or movie recording: Choose an option for Flicker reduction that matches the frequency of the local AC power

supply (0 371).

Bright bands appear during live view or movie recording: A flashing sign, flash, or other light source with brief duration was used during live view or movie recording.

Noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, lines, or reddish areas) appears in photos:

•To reduce randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines, choose lower ISO sensitivity or use high ISO noise reduction (0 109, 299).

•To reduce bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog at shutter speeds slower than 1 s or to reduce reddish areas and other artifacts in long time-exposures, enable long exposure noise reduction (0 299).

•Turn Active D-Lightingoff to avoid heightening the effects of noise (0 183).
