DNo Picture

After shooting, play the picture back in the monitor to ensure that the photograph has been recorded. In hand held mode, note that the sound the mirror makes when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway or the Bbutton is pressed can be mistaken for the sound of the shutter, and that if single-servo AF is used, a photograph will only be recorded if the camera is able to focus.

DShooting in Live View Mode

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 if an object moves at high speed through the 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.

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	A	27s	[ 12 0 m 0 0 s ]
mode for extended periods, the camera may
become noticeably warm and its internal
temperature may rise, resulting in image noise
and unusual colors. To prevent damage to the
camera’s internal circuits, live view 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 the shutter speed and aperture in effect at the start of live view. Exposure is metered again when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

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 d10 (Exposure delay mode, 0 278).

AExposure Compensation

In P, S, and A modes, exposure compensation can be adjusted by ±5 EV in increments of 1/3 EV (0 118).
