Shooting Functions4
Shooting with Live View
You can shoot a picture while displaying the real-time image on the 
monitor.
• The image in Live View may differ from the captured image if the brightness 
of the subject is low or high.
• If any changes occur in the shooting light source during Live View, the image 
may flicker.
• If the camera position is changed rapidly during Live View, the image may not 
be displayed with the appropriate brightness. Wait for the display to become 
stable before shooting.
• Noise may appear on the Live View image when used in dark locations.
• Live View can be displayed for up to 5 minutes. When Live View is ended 
after the elapse of 5 minutes, Live View can be restarted by pressing the U 
button.
• If you continue shooting with Live View for a prolonged period, the internal 
temperature of the camera may increase, resulting in lower quality images. It 
is recommended that you turn off Live View when not shooting. To prevent 
the image quality from degrading, allow enough time for the camera to cool 
down while shooting with long exposures or recording movies.
• If the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, l (temperature 
warning) will appear on the monitor and Live View may not be available.
• If Live View is used in places where the camera may become hot, such as in 
direct sunlight, l (temperature warning) may appear on the monitor. Cancel 
Live View, as the internal temperature of the camera is rising.
• If Live View is used even after l (temperature warning) appears, Live View 
may end before 5 minutes elapse. Shooting with the viewfinder is available 
even if Live View is ended.
• The higher the sensitivity, the more noise and color unevenness may occur 
in the Live View image and/or captured image.
• During Live View, nothing is displayed in the viewfinder.
• Holding the camera by hand and shooting while viewing the monitor may 
cause camera shake. Use of a tripod is recommended.
• Live View is not displayed when data is being saved to an SD Memory Card.
