2. The shutter release button is pressed to the first pressure point:
The brightness of the monitor image corresponds to that of the
respective exposure setting. This allows you to assess the
effect the exposure setting will have on the image before
shooting.
Conversely, as soon as you press the shutter release to the first
pressure point the brightness of the monitor image matches the
exposure setting. This allows you to assess the effect the exposure
setting will have on the image before shooting. The second option,
Continuous
, is effective only with a manual exposure setting. It
always shows the effects of your shutter speed and aperture
settings by a correspondingly brighter or darker monitor image.
Setting the function
1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 150/240) select
Exposure simulation
(page 4, section
SETUP
),
2. call up the sub-menu, and
3. there select
Shutter release half pressed
for the first mode,
or
Continuous
for the second mode.
By default, the live view monitor image contains some fundamental
information in a header. You can use the
INFO
button to select two
other views with more information (see p. 234). In the first, you
can additionally view frames for the aspect ratios 1:1, 3:4, 6:7 or
16:9. This can make image composition for subsequent detailing
much easier.
The frames are selected in sequence by moving the direction pad
up or down.
Horizon
If this function is enabled, a third view featuring a spirit level is
available. Thanks to integrated sensors and this view, the camera is
able to display its orientation. This enables you to align the camera
precisely in the longitudinal and transverse axis to capture critical
subjects, e.g. architecture pictures.
Turning the spirit level view on/off
1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 150/240) select
Horizon
(page 4/section
SETUP
),
2. call up the sub-menu, and
3. there select
ON
or
OFF
.
• In the fourth Live View image, a vertical scale and a
horizontal bar appear in the monitor. Variations from the
relevant zero positions are indicated graphically – by red
markings – and the horizontal alignment in the longitudinal
and transverse axis by a central green marking.
Notes:
• Live view mode is based on the image captured by the sensor.
To use it, the shutter must be open and it is closed and
re-cocked when the function is canceled. Of course, this is
audible and results in a slight delay in the shutter release.
• Frequent use of the Live View mode results in increased power
consumption.
• Alternating current causes fluctuations in the brightness of many
light sources which are invisible to the eye. Owing to the
sensitivity and scan rate of image sensors, this can result in
flickering of the monitor image or lines in videos (not photos).
The effect can be eliminated from the shot by choosing a slower
shutter speed.
