the LCD monitor.

View shooting.

Stills displayh
Geared for still photos, the image is displayed at the standard
brightness to make it easy to see.
Exposure simulationg
Geared for still photos, the Live View image will closely reflect the
brightness level of the image you capture. If you set exposure
compensation, the image brightness will change accordingly.
Movie displaye
Geared for movies, the image is displayed at the standard brightness
and the depth of field will be wider than with [
Stills display
]. The
shooting coverage will also correspond to the proportion of the movie-
recording size which was set. (The semi-transparent mask on the top,
bottom, left, and right of the screen will not be included in the recorded
movie.) Even when [
Movie display
] is set, you can take still photos by
pressing the shutter button completely. The shutter speed, aperture,
and ISO speed will be set automatically.
About [Screen settings]
During Live View shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The
sun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Cautions for using Live View shooting are on pages 125-126.
Still and movie shooting are possible even in the fully-automatic modes
(1/C) (p.121).
