Although they will not appear in the final picture, banding or distortion may be visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources may leave after-images in the monitor when the camera is panned. Bright spots may also appear. When shooting in live view mode, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.

The effects of aperture on depth of field can not be previewed in live view mode but are visible in the final photograph.

Live view shooting ends automatically if the lens is removed.

Live view mode can be used for up to an hour. Note, however, that

 

when used in live view mode for extended periods, the temperature of

 

the camera’s internal circuits may rise, resulting in image noise and

 

 

 

 

unusual colors (the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this

 

 

 

 

does not indicated a malfunction). To prevent damage to the camera’s

internal circuits, live view shooting will end automatically before the
