and autofocus happens. You can re-autofocus at any time in
Hand-held mode by holding the Shutter-release button
halfway down. You must press the Shutter-release button all
the way down, and wait a moment, for the camera to take the
image.
In order to get a picture in either of the Live View modes,
listen for three distinct clicks as you hold down the
Shutter-release button and the picture is taken. If you are
using Hand-held mode and hear only one or two clicks, you
may not be taking pictures. The main clue is whether the
camera displays a still image after the clicks. Hold the
Shutter-release button down all the way and wait a moment
for the camera to take the image.
Once you take a picture in Live view mode, it appears on the
Monitor. To return to Live View for more pictures, just press
the Shutter-release button halfway down. I admit it can be a
little confusing until you get used to the sounds and actions of
Live view mode. When in doubt, hold the Shutter-release
button down longer.
My Recommendation: You can use either of the Live view
modes on or off tripod. I often leave my camera set to Tripod
mode since I like the more flexible focus positioning and
accuracy. I normally use Live View for macro (close-up)
images, for which I especially need the extra accuracy and
focus positioning capability. Tripod mode is not very good for
any type of action shots, since the autofocus is much slower.
The only time I use Hand-held mode is when I want to shoot
moving objects or around-the-corner images at arm’s length.
If I were shooting images in a war zone, I think I’d use
Hand-held Live View mode and stick the camera around the
