Setting Effect ON (default setting):
Displays Live View in conditions close to what your picture will look like as a result of applying
all your settings. This setting is useful when you want to shoot pictures while checking the
results of the shot on the Live View screen.
Setting Effect OFF:
Shows Live View without the effects of exposure compensation, white balance, [Creative Style],
or [Picture Effect]. When this setting is used, you can easily check the image composition.
Live View is always displayed with the appropriate brightness even in [Manual Exposure] mode.
Note
When the shooting mode is set to [Intelligent Auto], [Superior Auto], [Sweep Panorama],
[Movie] or [Scene Selection], [Live View Display] cannot be set to [Setting Effect OFF].
When [Live View Display] is set to [Setting Effect ON], you may have difficulty checking the
composition, as the Live View Display may seem too dark or too bright. If such a
phenomenon occurs, set [Live View Display] to [Setting Effect OFF]. When [Live View
Display] is set to [Setting Effect OFF], the brightness of the shot image will not be the same
as that of the displayed Live View.
Hint
When you use a third-party flash, such as a studio flash, Live View Display may be dark for
some shutter speed settings. When [Live View Display] is set to [Setting Effect OFF], Live
View Display will be displayed brightly, so that you can easily check the composition.
