156 Shooting with the Live View Shooting Functions You can shoot a picture or a movie while displaying the real-time image on the monitor. • The image in Live View may differ from the captured image if the brightness of the subject is low or high. • If any changes occur in the shooting light source during Live View, the image may flicker. • If the camera position is changed rapidly during Live View, the image may not be displayed with the appropriate brightness. Wait for the display to become stable before shooting. • Noise may appear on the Live View image when used in dark locations. • If you continue shooting with the Live View for a prolonged period, the 4 internal temperature of the camera may increase, resulting in lower quality images. It is recommended that you turn off Live View when not shooting. To prevent a decrease in image quality, allow the camera to cool down between long exposure shots and movie recording. • If the internal temperature of the camera is high, l (temperature warning) will appear on the monitor and Live View may not be possible. • If Live View is used in places where the camera may become hot, such as in direct sunlight, l (temperature warning) may appear on the monitor. Cancel Live View, as the internal temperature of the camera is rising. • Live View can be displayed for up to 5 minutes. However, if Live View is used even after l (temperature warning) appears, Live View may end before 5 minutes elapse. Shooting with the viewfinder is possible even if Live View is ended. • The higher the sensitivity, the more noise and color unevenness may occur in the Live View image and/or captured image. • Shooting while holding the camera by hand and viewing the monitor can cause camera shake. Use of a tripod is recommended. • The field of view of the image display is nearly 100%. • You can use the provided AV cable (I-AVC7) or a commercially available HDMI cable to display Live View images on a TV or monitor. (p.233) • Live View is not displayed when data are being saved to an SD Memory Card. • If the = button is pressed during Live View when the focus mode is set to l and [Autofocus Mode] is set to S (Phase Difference), the Live View image will disappear and the autofocus system operates. Once focused, the image will be displayed in Live View again.
