Follow the steps below to take photographs in live view.

photography).
2 Press the a button.
The mirror will be raised and the view through the lens will
be displayed in the camera monitor.
The subject will no

4 Focus.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.
The focus point will flash green while the camera focuses.
If the camera is able to focus, the focus point will be
displayed in green; if the camera is unable to focus, the
focus point will flash red (note that pictures can be taken
even when the focus point flashes red; check focus in the

To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering
with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the
viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before
shooting (0 86).
