possible for approx. 1 hr. 50 min. at room temperature (23
°C / 73°F).

  In the < F> and < G> modes, the shooting  area will be smaller.
  Do not point the camera  toward an intense light source, such as the sun

A Shooting with the LCD Monitor
Do not hold the camera in the same  position for long periods of time. 
Even if the camera does not feel to o hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness, b listering or low-temperature contact 
burns. The use of a trip od is recommended for pe ople with circulation 
problems or very sensit ive skin, or when using  the camera in very hot 
places.
  The histogram can be displayed when [ A1: Expo. simulation: Enable ] 
(p.230) is set.
  You can display the electron ic level by pressing the  button 
(p.65). Note that if the  AF method is set to [u+Tracking ] or the camera 
is connected to a TV set with an HDM I cable, the electronic level cannot 
be displayed.
  When < g> is displayed in white, it indi cates that the Live View image 
brightness is close  to what the captured  image will look like.
  If  is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is displayed at 
a brightness that differs from the actual shooting  result because of low- 
or bright-light conditions . However, the actual imag e recorded will reflect 
the exposure setting. Note  that noise may be more noticeable than the 
actual image recorded.
  If the < F> or < G> mode is set, Multi Shot  Noise Reduction is set,  or 
bulb or flash is used, the < g> icon and histogram  will be grayed out 
(for your reference). Th e histogram may not be pro perly displayed in low- 
or bright-light conditions.
