- During Live View shooting, do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun's heat can damage the camera's components.
- Live View shooting will disable a few Custom Function settings.
- Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not reflect the brightness of the captured image.
- If the light source within the image changes, the screen might flicker. If this happens, stop the Live View shooting, then resume Live View shooting under the actual light source to be used.
- During Live View image display, if you point the camera in a different direction, it might throw off the correct brightness momentarily and the image might not look right. Wait until the image brightness stabilizes before shooting.
- If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might be blackened on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area.
- If you set the [6 LCD brightness] to bright settings in low light, chrominance noise may appear in the Live View image. However, the chrominance noise will not be recorded to the captured image.
- When you magnify the image, the image sharpness may look more pronounced than it really is.
- Under the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu, setting [Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [0: Enable] may display a darkly-exposed (set with exposure compensation) image brighter.
- If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn off automatically as set with [5 Auto power off]. If [5 Auto power off] is set to [Off], the Live View shooting will stop automatically after 30 min. (camera power remains on).
- The image's field of view is about 100%.
- With the video cable (provided) connecting the camera to a TV set, you can view images on the TV.
