If you select [On], the frame rate of the Live View will not become slow even when shooting in a dark place, but the Live
View display may become dark.

Hint

When you use a third-party flash, such as a studio flash, Live View Display may be dark for some shutter speed settings. When
[Live View Display] is set to [Setting Effect OFF], Live View Display will be displayed brightly, so that you can easily check the
composition.

If you select [Setting Effect OFF], Live View is always displayed with the appropriate brightness even in [Manual Exposure] mode.

When [Setting Effect OFF] is selected, the

(VIEW) icon is displayed on the Live View screen.

Note

[Exposure Effect] is effective only when using a flash manufactured by Sony.

[Intelligent Auto]
[Movie]
[S&Q Motion]

When [Live View Display] is set to [Setting Effect OFF], the brightness of the shot image will not be the same as that of the
displayed Live View.
