D Shooting in Live View Mode Although they will not appear in the final picture, banding or distortion may be visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or if an object moves at high speed through the frame. Bright light sources may leave after-images in the monitor when the camera is panned. Bright spots may also appear. 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 shooting ends automatically if the lens is removed. Live view mode can be used for up to an hour. 27s Note, however, that when used in live view mode for extended periods, the camera may become k noticeably warm and the temperature of its internal circuits may rise, resulting in image noise Exit and unusual colors. To prevent damage to the camera's internal circuits, live view shooting will end automatically before the camera overheats. A count-down display will appear in the monitor 30 s before shooting ends. At high ambient temperatures, this display may appear immediately when live view mode is selected. In exposure modes other than manual, cover the viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap after focusing. This prevents light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure (pg. 89). To reduce blur in tripod mode, choose [On] for Custom Setting d9 ([Exposure delay mode], pg. 285). 87
