Using live view
It is possible to use the LCD monitor as a viewfinder. You can view the exposure or white
balance effect and the subject’s composition while you take the picture.
Close the eyepiece shutter so the light entering through the viewfinder does not affect the
exposure while shooting with live view.

Notes
• If there is a high-intensity light source within the screen, the image may be displayed darker
but will be recorded normally.
• If the live view function is used over a long period, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise causing the images with high ISO sensitivity to appear noisy and unevenly colored.
Turn off the camera for a period of time allowing it to cool.
• Exchanging the lens will cause live view to stop.
