VI. LIVE VIEW MODE

Thermal Issues

If the light source changes, the Live View picture may flicker. If this happens, stop the Live

View shooting and press the SET button to start the Live View shooting again. During

continuous shooting, the exposure for the first shot will also be applied to subsequent

shots. If the sun or other bright light source enters the picture, the bright area might look

dark. However, it will be correctly recorded as a bright area. Note that FE lock and

modeling flash cannot be used.

With Live View shooting, the camera's internal temperature increases due to heat from

the CMOS sensor, and other components. For normal shooting, this is not a problem.

There is no Live View operation limit at 23°C/73°F for Remote Live View shooting and

Camera Live View shooting, whether you use a memory card or external recording media

via the WFT-E2A. However, if the camera is under direct sunlight or near hot studio lights

during Live View shooting, the camera's internal temperature will increase more than

usual and the screen may show a warning icon shaped like a thermometer. If the warning

icon appears, you can continue shooting and the operation will not be forced to terminate

if you are using a memory card. However, since the image quality might degrade, it is

recommended that you stop shooting if the warning icon appears. If you use a MicroDrive

and you keep shooting even when the warning icon appears, the Live View shooting will

terminate automatically after the internal temperature reaches a certain level. This is to

protect the MicroDrive from the heat. If the Live View shooting terminates automatically,

Live View shooting will not be possible until the internal temperature goes down.
