About Exposure Simulation

Exposure simulation displays and simulates how the brightness of the actual image will look. The [Disable] and [Enable] settings are explained below:

Disable

The image is displayed at the standard brightness to make the Live View image easy to see.

Enable

The Live View image will closely reflect the brightness level of the actual image you capture. If you set exposure compensation, the image brightness will change accordingly.

During Live View shooting, do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun's heat can damage the camera's components.
