Shooting with Live View
You can shoot a picture while displaying the real-time image on the
monitor.
• The image in Live View may differ from the captured image if the brightness
of the subject is low or high.
• If any changes occur in the shooting light source during Live View, the image
may flicker.
• If the camera position is changed rapidly during Live View, the image may not
be displayed with the appropriate brightness. Wait for the display to become
stable before shooting.
• Noise may appear on the Live View image when used in dark locations.
• Live View can be displayed for up to 5 minutes. When Live View is ended
after the elapse of 5 minutes, Live View can be restarted by pressing the U
button.
• If you continue shooting with Live View for a prolonged period, the internal
temperature of the camera may increase, resulting in lower quality images. It
is recommended that you turn off Live View when not shooting. To prevent
the image quality from degrading, allow enough time for the camera to cool
down while shooting with long exposures or recording movies.
• If the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, l (temperature
warning) will appear on the monitor and Live View may not be available.
• If Live View is used in places where the camera may become hot, such as in
direct sunlight, l (temperature warning) may appear on the monitor. Cancel
Live View, as the internal temperature of the camera is rising.
• If Live View is used even after l (temperature warning) appears, Live View
may end before 5 minutes elapse. Shooting with the viewfinder is available
even if Live View is ended.
• The higher the sensitivity, the more noise and color unevenness may occur in
the Live View image and/or captured image.
• During Live View, nothing is displayed in the viewfinder.
• Holding the camera by hand and shooting while viewing the monitor may
cause camera shake. Use of a tripod is recommended.
• The field of view of the image display is nearly 100%.
• You can use the provided AV cable (I-AVC7) or a commercially available
HDMI cable to display Live View images on a TV or monitor. (p.256)
• Live View is not displayed when data is being saved to an SD Memory Card.
