DShooting in Live View Mode

Although they will not appear in the final picture, flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or if an object moves at high speed through the frame. 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.

Noise may be audible when the camera adjusts aperture. Note that no pictures can be taken in live view if a CPU lens with an aperture ring is attached with Aperture ring selected for Custom Setting f8 (Customize command dials) > Aperture setting (0 323). Select Sub-command dial when using a CPU lens with an aperture ring.

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 camera may become noticeably warm and its internal temperature may rise, resulting in noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels or fog). To prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits, shooting will end automatically before the camera overheats. A count-down display will appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view mode is selected.

During live view, the camera displays shutter speed and aperture based on the lighting conditions metered at the start of live view. Exposure is metered again for the current subject when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

Amicon in the monitor indicates that On is selected for Movie settings > High-sensitivity movie mode in the shooting menu (0 72). Live view is adjusted for sensitivities of from ISO 6400 to Hi 3, but photographs are taken at the sensitivity selected for ISO sensitivity settings in the shooting menu (0 110).

Metering can not be changed during live view. Choose a metering method before starting live view. To reduce blur in tripod mode, choose On for Custom Setting d9 (Exposure delay mode, 0 310). To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter (0 106).
