The live view mechanism During live view, the image on the LCD monitor is the same image received by the image pickup device (Live MOS sensor/imager) that is used for shooting. This way you can check the effects of exposure compensation or white balance on the LCD monitor. Moreover, you can also enlarge part of the subject to focus on it or display ruled lines to check that the composition is level. While the image appears on the LCD monitor during live view, the mirror is raised and the shutter is open. Therefore, you will not be able to check the subject in the viewfinder. 1 Correct metering may not be possible if strong light is coming in through the viewfinder. In such case attach the eyepiece cover. g"Eyepiece cover" (P. 62) Taking pictures using the viewfinder Taking pictures using live view Using live view Viewfinder Image pickup device Shutter curtain Lens Mirror • The light coming in through the lens is reflected on the mirror and you can check the subject in the viewfinder. • The mirror is raised and the shutter is open.

Using live view
The live view mechanism
During live view, the image on the LCD monitor is the same image received by the image
pickup device (Live MOS sensor/imager) that is used for shooting. This way you can check
the effects of exposure compensation or white balance on the LCD monitor. Moreover, you
can also enlarge part of the subject to focus on it or display ruled lines to check that the
composition is level.
While the image appears on the LCD monitor during live view, the mirror is raised and the
shutter is open. Therefore, you will not be able to check the subject in the viewfinder.
Correct metering may not be possible if strong light is coming in through the viewfinder. In
such case attach the eyepiece cover.
