D Shooting in Live View Mode
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with
photographs or exposure, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter.
Although they will not appear in the final picture, jagged edges, color
fringing, moiré, and bright spots may appear in the monitor, while
bright bands may appear in some areas with flashing signs and other
intermittent light sources or if the subject is briefly illuminated by a
strobe or other bright, momentary light source.
In addition, distortion
may occur if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at
high speed through the frame.
Flicker and banding visible in the
monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps can be
reduced using Flicker reduction (0 371), although they may still be
visible in the final photograph at some shutter speeds.
When shooting
in live view mode, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong
light sources.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
damage to the camera’s internal circuitry.
Movie recording is not available during live view photography and
pressing the movie-record button has no effect.
Select movie live view
(0 49) to shoot movies.
