General Live View Shooting Cautions
Live View Image
z
Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect the
brightness of the captured image.
z
Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed Live
View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image recorded
will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image is different
from that of the recorded image.)
z
If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen may
flicker. If this happens, exit Live View shooting and resume Live View shooting
under the actual light source.
z
If you point the camera in a different direction, it may throw off the Live
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness level
stabilizes before shooting.
z
If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may appear
black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly
show the bright area.
z
In low light, if you set the
[
5
: Disp. brightness]
to a bright setting, noise or
irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the noise or
irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image.
z
When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more
pronounced than in the actual image.
z
If the shutter speed is 1 sec. or slower, “
BUSY
” is displayed on the LCD
monitor, and the Live View display will not appear until the exposure is
complete.
Custom Functions
z
During Live View shooting, certain Custom Function settings will not take
effect.
Lens and Flash
z
If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image Stabilizer
(IS) switch to <
1
>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all times even if
you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image Stabilizer consumes
battery power and may decrease the number of possible shots depending on
the shooting conditions. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to <
2
>.
z
The focus preset function is possible for Live View shooting only when using
a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode released in and
after the second half of 2011.
z
FE lock will not work if the built-in flash is used. FE lock and modeling flash
will not work if an external Speedlite is used.
