Shooting with the Live View
You can shoot a picture or a movie 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.
• If you continue shooting with the 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 a decrease in image quality, allow the camera to cool down between
long exposure shots and movie recording.
• If the internal temperature of the camera is high, l (temperature warning) will
appear on the monitor and Live View may not be possible.
• 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.
• Live View can be displayed for up to 5 minutes. However, if Live View is used
even after l (temperature warning) appears, Live View may end before 5
minutes elapse. Shooting with the viewfinder is possible 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.
• Shooting while holding the camera by hand and viewing the monitor can
cause camera shake. Use of a tripod is recommended.
• The field of view of the image display is nearly 100%.
• You can use the provided AV cable (I-AVC7) or a commercially available
HDMI cable to display Live View images on a TV or monitor. (p.233)
• Live View is not displayed when data are being saved to an SD Memory
Card.
• When the focus mode is set to l and the = button is pressed during
Live View, the displayed image will disappear and the autofocus system
operates. Once focused, the image will be displayed in Live View again.
• The aperture value and shutter speed are not displayed on the LCD panel
during Live View.
