Shooting Functions

Shooting with the Live View
You can shoot a picture or a movie 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.
If you continue shooting with the 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 a decrease in image quality, allow the camera to cool down between
long exposure shots and movie recording.
If the internal temperature of the camera is high, l (temperature warning) will
appear on the monitor and Live View may not be possible.
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.
Live View can be displayed for up to 5 minutes. However, if Live View is used
even after l (temperature warning) appears, Live View may end before 5
minutes elapse. Shooting with the viewfinder is possible 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.
Shooting while holding the camera by hand and viewing the monitor can
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.233)
Live View is not displayed when data are being saved to an SD Memory
Card.
When the focus mode is set to l and the = button is pressed during
Live View, the displayed image will disappear and the autofocus system
operates. Once focused, the image will be displayed in Live View again.
The aperture value and shutter speed are not displayed on the LCD panel
during Live View.
