Follow the steps below to take photographs in live view.

photography).
2Press the a button.
The mirror will be raised and the view through the lens will
be displayed in the camera monitor.
The subject will no
longer be visible in the viewfinder.
3Position the focus point.
Position the focus point over your subject as described on page 51.
4Focus.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.
The focus point will flash green while the camera focuses.
If the camera is able to focus, the focus point will be
displayed in green; if the camera is unable to focus, the
focus point will flash red (note that pictures can be taken
even when the focus point flashes red; check focus in the

In mode M, exposure can be

with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the
viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before
shooting (086).
