D Shooting in Live View Mode
Although they will not appear in the final picture, flicker, banding, or
distortion may be visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury
vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or if an
object moves at high speed through the frame.
Bright spots may also
appear.
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.
Noise may be audible when the camera adjusts aperture.
Note that no
pictures can be taken in live view if a CPU lens with an aperture ring is
attached with Aperture ring selected for Custom Setting f8 (Customize
command dials)> Aperture setting (0 323).
Select Sub-command
dial when using a CPU lens with an aperture ring.
Shooting ends automatically if the lens is removed.
Live view mode can be used for up to an hour.
Note, however, that
when used in live view mode for extended periods, the camera may
become noticeably warm and its internal temperature may rise,
resulting in noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels or fog).
To prevent
damage to the camera’s internal circuits, shooting will end
automatically before the camera overheats.
A count-down display will
appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends.
At high ambient
temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view
mode is selected.
During live view, the camera displays shutter speed and aperture based
on the lighting conditions metered at the start of live view.
Exposure is
metered again for the current subject when the shutter-release button
is pressed all the way down.
A m icon in the monitor indicates that On is selected for Movie
settings > High-sensitivity movie mode in the shooting menu (0 72).
Live view is adjusted for sensitivities of from ISO 6400 to Hi 3, but
photographs are taken at the sensitivity selected for ISO sensitivity
settings in the shooting menu (0 110).
Metering can not be changed during live view.
Choose a metering
method before starting live view.
To reduce blur in tripod mode, choose
On for Custom Setting d9 (Exposure delay mode, 0 310). To prevent
light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure, close
the viewfinder eyepiece shutter (0 106).
