General Live View Shooting Cautions
Image Quality
 When you shoot at high ISO speeds,  noise (such as dots of light and 
banding) may become noticeable.
  Shooting in high temperatures may cause noise and irregular colors in 
the image.
  If Live View shooting is used continuously for a prolonged period, the 
camera’s internal temperature may rise, and image quality may 
deteriorate. Always exit Live View shooting when you are not shooting.
  If you shoot a long exposure while the  camera’s internal temperature is 
high, image quality may deteriorate. Exit Live View shooting and wait a 
few minutes before shooting again.
White < s> and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning Icons
  If the camera’s internal temperature increases due to prolonged Live 
View shooting or under a high ambient temperature, a white < s> or red 
< E > icon will appear.
  The white < s> icon indicates that the image quality of still photos will 
deteriorate. It is recommended that you temporarily exit Live View 
shooting and allow the camera to cool down before shooting again.
  The red < E> icon indicates that the Live View shooting will soon stop 
automatically. If this happens, you will not be able to shoot again until the 
camera’s internal temperature decreases. Exit the Live View shooting or 
turn off the power and let the camera rest for a while.
  Using Live View shooting at a high temperature for a prolonged period 
will cause the < s> or < E> icon to appear earlier. When you are not 
shooting, always turn off the camera.
  If the camera’s internal temperature is high, the quality of images shot 
with a high ISO speed or long exposure may deteriorate even before the 
white < s> icon is displayed.
Shooting Results
  In magnified view, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed in 
red. If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come 
out as desired. Return to the normal view before taking the picture.
  Even if you take the picture in magnified view, the image will be captured 
with the image area of the normal view.

General Live View Shooting Cautions
Live View Image
 Under low- or bright-light conditions, the Live View image may not reflect 
the brightness of the captured image.
  Even if a low ISO speed is set, noise may be noticeable in the displayed 
Live View image under low light. However, when you shoot, the image 
recorded will have less noise. (The image quality of the Live View image 
is different from that of the recorded image.)
  If the light source (illumination) within the image changes, the screen 
may flicker. If this happens, exit Li ve View shooting and resume Live 
View shooting under the actual light source.
  If you point the camera in a different direction, it may throw off the Live 
View image’s correct brightness momentarily. Wait until the brightness 
level stabilizes before shooting.
  If there is a very bright light source in the image, the bright area may 
appear black on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image 
will correctly show the bright area.
  In low light, if you set the [ 52: LCD brightness ] to a bright setting, noise 
or irregular colors may appear in the Live View image. However, the 
noise or irregular colors will not be recorded in the captured image.
  When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more 
pronounced than in the actual image.
Custom Functions
  During Live View shooting, certai n Custom Functions will not work 
(certain settings become invalid). For details, see page 480.
Lens and Flash
  If the attached lens has an Image Stabilizer and you set the Image 
Stabilizer (IS) switch to < 1>, the Image Stabilizer will operate at all 
times even if you do not press the shutter button halfway. The Image 
Stabilizer consumes battery power and may decrease the number of 
possible shots. When the Image Stabilizer is not necessary, such as 
when using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the IS switch to 
< 2 >.
  The focus preset function is possible for Live View shooting only when 
using a (super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode 
released in and after the second half of 2011.
  FE lock and modeling flash will not work if an external Speedlite is used.

(p.334).
 Shutter-priority AE
Shutter speed
  Changing the shutter speed during movie shooting is not recommended 
since the changes in the exposure will be recorded.
  When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of approx. 
1/25 sec. to 1/125 sec. is recommended. The faster the shutter speed, 
the less smooth the subject’s movement will look.
  The minimum shutter speed for shooting  movies at a high frame rate will 
be 1/125 sec. for NTSC and 1/100 sec. for PAL.
  If you change the shutter speed while shooting under fluorescent or LED 
lighting, image flicker may be recorded.
