 The figures above are based on a fully-charged Battery  Pack LP-E12 and CIPA 
(Camera & Imaging Products As sociation) testing standards.
  With a fully-charged Batter y Pack LP-E12, continuous  Live View shooting is 
possible for approx. 1 hr . 20 min. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).

  In the < x> mode, Live View shoo ting is not possible.
  In the < F> and < G> shooting modes, the shoo ting area will be smaller 
than with other shooting modes.
  During Live View shooting, do not  point the lens toward the sun. The 
sun’s heat can dam age the camera’s in ternal components.
  Cautions for using Live View shooting are on pages 178-179.
 When flash is used, there will be two  shutter sounds, but only one shot will 
be taken. Also, the time it takes to take  the picture after you press the shutter 
button completely will be slightly l onger than with viewfinder shooting.
 If the camera is not operated for a  prolonged period, the power will turn 
off automatically after the time set in [ 52: Auto power off ] (p.217). If 
[ 5 2: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end 
automatically after 30 min.  (camera power remains on).
  With the stereo AV cable AVC-DC40 0ST (sold separately) or HDMI cable 
HTC-100 (sold separately), you can di splay the Live View image on a TV 
(p.262, 265).

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 you use the < F> or < G> shooting mode, use fl ash, or set a bulb 
exposure, the < g> icon and histogram will  be grayed out (for your 
reference). The histogram may not be  properly displayed in low- or 
bright-light conditions.

U Using Creative Filters
  Grainy B/W
Creates a grainy black-and-white  photo. You can change the black-
and-white effect by adjusting the contrast.
  Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. You  can change the degree of softness 
by adjusting the blur.
  Fish-eye effect
Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will  have a barrel-type 
distortion.
Depending on the level of this filt er effect, the area trimmed along 
the periphery of the image changes.  Also, since this filter expands 
the center part of the image, t he resolution at the center may 
decrease depending on the number of  recorded pixels. Check the 
image on the screen while setting this filter. The AF method will be 
either FlexiZone - Single (fixed at center) or Quick mode (fixed at 
center AF point).
  Art bold effect
Makes the photo look like an oil pa inting and the subject look three-
dimensional. You can adjust the cont rast and saturation. Note that 
the sky, white walls, and similar subjects may not be rendered with a 
smooth gradation and may look irr egular or have significant noise.
  Water painting effect
Makes the photo look like a watercolor  painting with soft colors. You 
can adjust the color density. Note  that night scenes or dark scenes 
may not be rendered with a smooth  gradation and may look irregular 
or have significant noise.

  Toy camera effect
Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a color tone that makes it 
look as if it was shot by a toy  camera. You can change the color cast

sharp. In step 5 on p age 158, if you press the < u> button (or tap on 
[ ] on the lower right), you can switch between the white frame’s 
vertical and horizontal orientations.  The AF method will be FlexiZone
