ShootingN About the Information Display Each time you press the button, the information display will change. Live View exposure simulation Picture Style AF mode Drive mode White balance Image-recording quality Shutter speed Aperture Exposure level AEB range Flash exposure compensation Histogram AF point (Quick mode) Magnifying frame AEB FEB Flash-ready AE lock Battery check Highlight tone priority ISO speed Shots remaining About the icon If Live View shooting is done under direct sunlight or other high-temperature environments, the icon (warning for the camera's high internal temperature) may appear on the screen. If Live View shooting continues with a high internal temperature, it may degrade image quality. You should therefore stop Live View shooting if the warning icon appears. If you use a hard disk-type card and Live View shooting continues while the warning icon is displayed, the camera's internal temperature will further increase and the Live View shooting will stop automatically. Live View shooting will be disabled until the camera's internal temperature decreases. The histogram and icon are displayed when [Exposure simulation] has been set to [Enable] (p.117). If is blinking, it indicates that the Live View image is not being displayed at the suitable brightness due to low or bright light conditions. However, the captured image will reflect the exposure setting. If flash is used or bulb is set, the icon and histogram will be grayed out (for your reference). The histogram might not be properly displayed in low light or bright light conditions. 120
