Enable Antiflickering
When using Live View, some light sources can cause flickering at either 50Hz
or 60Hz. Enabling
Antiflickering
can mitigate this. You set it by swiping in
from the left and long pressing on the
Auto
icon. Then select
Antiflickering
in
the menu and choose either
50Hz
or
60Hz
.
Exposure Simulation and Long Exposures
With the Exposure Simulation
feature, the chosen shutter speed will reflect the frame rate of the Live
View feed. This might not be optimal when using long exposures as the
resulting low frame rate would introduce an interactive lag on the Live
View feed. For this reason, the IQ4 will try to maintain practical frame
rates on long exposures while adding a screen brightness compensation.
This means that what you see is still what you get, exposure wise.
Displaying a Grid
You have the option to display di
ff
erent types of grid overlays in Live View as
a composition aid.
You enable the grid by swiping in from the right side of the touch screen and
tap on the icon with the grid lines. Tap on it again to disable the grid.
You can change the grid type by long-pressing on the icon until the
Grid Mode
menu becomes available. Then choose either the Square, Golden Ratio, Center
Cross, or 3x3 option and close the menu by tapping on the arrow in the top-
left corner.
Image Capture in Live View
You can capture an image while in Live View by pressing the shutter release
button on the XF Camera Body (or via a connected cable release), but you
also have the option to capture directly from the Live View screen by tapping
on the
Capture
button in the lower-right corner.
Setting a Custom White Balance
Swipe in from the left and tap on the
White Balance
Picker
icon to activate
the tool. Then drag the White Balance Picker icon with your fingertip to the
point on the image that you want to reference as a neutral tone (a gray patch,
or a light gray neutral area in the image). The tool will now automatically
adjust the white balance based on the color in that spot.
Next, tap on the White Balance Picker icon on the screen and you will get the
option to save the white balance adjustment as either
Custom 1
,
Custom 2
or
Custom 3
. The setting is automatically saved and all subsequent captures will
use this white balance setting.
Note that you can access additional White Balance settings by long-pressing
on the White Balance icon. Please read the Custom White Balance chapter for
more information.
