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 contin uously for a long period, the camera’s 
internal temperature may rise, and im age quality may deteriorate. Stop 
Live View shooting when not shooting images.
  If you shoot a long expo sure while the camera’s internal temperature is 
high, image quality may det eriorate. Stop Live View shooting and wait a 
few minutes before shooting again.
White < s> and Red < E> Internal Temperature Warning  If the camera’s internal temperatu re increases due to prolonged Live 
View shooting or under a high ambi ent temperature, a white icon  
will appear. If you continue shooting  while this icon is displayed, the 
image quality of still photos may  deteriorate. It is recommended to 
temporarily exit Live View shooting and allow the came ra to cool down 
before shooting again.
  If the camera’s internal temperatu re further increases while the white 
icon < s> is displayed, a red icon  will start blinking. This blinking 
icon indicates that the Live View shoo ting will soon stop automatically. If 
this happens, you will no t be able to shoot again until the camera’s 
internal temperature decr eases. 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> and < E> icons to appear earlier. When you are not 
shooting, turn off the camera.
 
If the camera’s internal temperature  is high, the image quality of high ISO 
speed images or long exposures may  be degraded even before the white 
icon 
 is displayed.

Live View Shooting Cautions
Shooting Result
 If you take the picture in magnified view, the exposure may not come out 
as desired. Return to th e normal view before taking the picture. In 
magnified view, the shu tter speed and aperture will be displayed in 
orange. Even if you take the picture  in magnified view, the image will be 
captured in the normal view.
  If [z 2: Auto Light ing Optimizer ] (p.123) is not set to [ Disable], the 
image may look bright ev en if a decreased exposure compensation or 
decreased flash exposure  compensation is set.
  If you use a TS-E lens  (other than the TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm 
f/3.5L II) and shift or ti lt the lens or use an Ex tension Tube, the standard 
exposure may not be obtained or  an irregular exposure may result.
Live View Image
  Under low- or bright-light  conditions, the Live View image may not reflect 
the brightness of the captured image.
  If the light source within the image ch anges, the screen may flicker. If this 
happens, exit Live View shooting and resume shooting under the actual 
light source.
  If you point the camera to  a different direction, it may throw off the Live 
View image’s correct brightness mo mentarily. Wait until the brightness 
level stabilizes be fore shooting.
  If there is a very bright  light source in the pictur e, the bright area might 
appear black on the LCD monitor. Ho wever, the actual captured image 
will correctly show the bright area.
  In low light, if you set the [ 52: LCD brightness ] to a bright setting, 
chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the 
chrominance noise 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, certain Cu stom Function settings will not take 
effect (p.293).
Lens and Flash
  The focus preset feature on certain  telephoto lenses may not be used.
  FE lock is not possible when the built -in flash or an external Speedlite is 
used. Modeling flash will not wo rk with an external Speedlite.
