Shooting in Live View
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with
photographs or exposure, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter
(
Although they will not appear in the final picture unless On is selected
for Silent photography (
0 54), jagged edges, color fringing, moiré,
and bright spots may appear in the monitor, while bright bands may
appear in some areas with flashing signs and other intermittent light
sources or if the subject is briefly illuminated by a strobe or other bright,
momentary light source. In addition, distortion may occur if the camera
is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through the
frame. Flicker and banding visible in the monitor under fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps can be reduced using the Flicker
reduction option in the movie shooting menu (
0 298), although they
may still be visible in the final photograph at some shutter speeds.
When shooting in live view, 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.
Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby
timer,
0 303), the standby timer will not expire during shooting.

Auto Tuning AF for the Current Lens
The camera offers an AF fine-tuning option for up to 20 lens types, with
auto fine-tuning available in live view. Use only as required; AF tuning is
not recommended in most situations and may interfere with normal
focus. To use auto fine-tuning, first ready the camera by mounting it on
a tripod and selecting maximum aperture (recommended), rotating the
live view selector to
C, selecting single-servo autofocus (AF-S), setting
the AF-area mode to wide- or normal-area AF, selecting the center focus
point, and if possible engaging focus zoom for accurate focus. You can
then focus the camera and then press the AF mode and movie-record
buttons until instructions are displayed (you will need to press the
buttons for a little over 2 seconds). Highlight Yes and press
J to save
the new value. Only one value can be saved for each lens type.
AF fine-tuning can be turned on and off using the AF fine-tune > AF
fine-tune (On/Off) option in the setup menu (
0 310). AF fine-tune
lists the value for the current lens under Saved value; to view values for
other lenses, select List saved values.
