Shooting in Live View
Mode
To
prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering
with
exposure, remove the
rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder
with
the supplied
DK-S
eyepiece cap before
shooting
(.....J
42).
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
an
object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources
may leave after-images in the
monitor
when the camera
is
panned. 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.
Live
view ends automatically
if
the
lens
is
removed.
Live
view may end automatically
to
prevent damage
to
the camera's internal circuits; exit live
view when the camera
is
not
use.
Note
that
the temperature
of
the camera's internal circuits
may rise and noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced
bright
pixels, or fog) may
be
displayed in
the following instances (the camera may also become noticeably warm,
but
this does
not
indicate a malfunction):
The ambient temperature
is
high
The camera
has
been used for extended periods in live view or
to
record movies
The camera
has
been used in continuous release mode for extended periods
If a warning
is
displayed when you
attempt
to
start live view, wait
for
the internal circuits
to
cool and then
try
again.

The Count Down Display
A count down will be displayed
30
s before live view ends automatically
(0
31;
the
timer
turns red 5 s before the
auto-off
timer
expires or
if
live view
is
about
to
end
to
protect the
I
internal circuits). Depending on shooting conditions, the
timer
may appear immediately
when live view
is
selected. Note
that
although the count
down
does
not
appear in the
information display or during playback, live view will still end automatically when the timer
expires.

Using Autofocus in Live View
Autofocus
is
slower in live view and the
monitor
may brighten or darken while the camera
focuses. The camera may be unable
to
focus in the following situations:
The subject contains lines parallel
to
the long edge
of
the
frame
The subject lacks contrast
The subject in the focus
point
contains
areas
of
sharply contrasting brightness, or the
subject
is
lit by spot lighting or by a neon sign or other
light
source
that
changes in
brightness
Flicker
or
banding appears under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, sodium-vapor, or similar
lighting
A cross (star) filter or other special filter
is
used
The subject appears smaller than the focus
point
The subject
is
dominated by regular geometric patterns
(e.g.,
blinds or a row
of
windows
in a skyscraper)
The subject
is
moving
Note
that
the focus
point
may sometimes be displayed in green when the camera
is
unable
to focus.
