Number of Possible Shots with Live View Shooting (Approx. number of shots)
The figures above are based on a fully -charged Battery Pack LP-E17 and CIPA 
(Camera & Imaging Products Association) testing standards.
 With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E17,  continuous Live View shooting is 
possible for approx. 1 hr. 30 min. at room temperature (23°C / 73°F).

In the < x> mode, Live View shooting is not possible.
 In the < F> and < G> modes, the shooting range will be smaller.
 When the flash is recycling, “ BUSY” is displayed on the LCD monitor, 
and you cannot view the subject.
 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image 
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
 General Live View Shooting Cautions are on pages 218-219.
When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot 
will be taken. Also, the time it take s to capture an image after you press 
the shutter button completely will be slightly longer 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.257). If 
[ 52: Auto power off ] is set to [Disable], Live View shooting will end 
automatically after 30 min. (camera power remains on).
 With the HDMI cable HTC-100 (sold separately) or stereo AV cable AVC-
DC400ST (sold separately), you can display the Live View image on a 
TV set (p.298, 301).

You can display the histogram by pressing the < B> button. However, 
the histogram is not displayed while pressing the shutter button 
completely.
 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 image recorded will reflect 
the exposure setting. Note that noise may be more noticeable than the 
actual image recorded.
 If the < F> or  shooting mode, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, flash, or 
bulb exposure is used, 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.
Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time. 
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same 
body part may cause skin redness, blistering or low-temperature contact 
burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation problems 
or very sensitive skin, or when us ing the camera in very hot places.

In the < A> shooting mode, the camera will detect the scene type and 
set everything automatically to suit the scene. The detected scene type 
is indicated on the upper left of  the screen. For certain scenes or 
shooting conditions, the icon displayed may not match the actual scene.
*1: Displayed only when the AF method is set to [u +Tracking]. If another AF 
method is set, the “Non-portrait” icon will be displayed even if a person is 
detected.
