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.

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.

In exposure modes other than manual, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter after focusing. This prevents light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure (pg. 100).

Some noise may be audible when zoom lenses are zoomed in or out or shutter speed is changed in exposure mode eor f.

To reduce blur in tripod mode, choose [On] for Custom Setting d8 ([Exposure delay mode], pg. 325).

If a CPU lens with an aperture ring is attached and [Aperture ring] selected for Custom Setting f7 ([Customize command dials]) > [Aperture setting] (pp. 341–342), live view will not start and the shutter release will be disabled. Select [Sub-command dial] when using a CPU lens equipped with an aperture ring.
