A Exposure Depending on the scene, exposure may differ from that which would be obtained when live view is not used. Metering in live view is adjusted to suit the live view display, producing photographs with exposure close to what is seen in the monitor (note that exposure compensation can only be previewed in the monitor at values between +3 EV and -3 EV). To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap before shooting (0 50). A HDMI When the camera is attached to an HDMI video device, the camera monitor will remain on and the video device will display the view through the lens. If the device supports HDMICEC, select Off for the HDMI > Device control option in the setup menu (0 166) before shooting in live view. D Shooting in Live View Mode Although they will not appear in the final picture, distortion may be visible in the monitor 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. Bright spots may also appear. Flicker and banding visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps can be reduced using Flicker reduction (0 200), although they may still be visible in the final photograph at some shutter speeds. 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 when the monitor is closed (closing the monitor does not end live view on televisions or other external displays). Live view may end automatically to prevent damage to the camera's internal circuits; exit live view when the camera is not in 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 live view does not start when you attempt to start live view, wait for the internal circuits to cool and then try again. D The Count Down Display A count down will be displayed 30 s before live view ends automatically (0 122; the timer turns red 5 s before the auto off timer expires (0 186) or if live view is about to end to protect the internal circuits). Depending on shooting conditions, the timer may appear immediately when live view is selected. 124 Live View
