HDMI
When the camera is attached to an HDMI video device, the
camera monitor will turn off and the video device will display
the view through the lens as shown at right. If the device
supports HDMI-CEC, select Off for the HDMI > Device control
option in the setup menu (
0 194) before shooting in live view.

Shooting in Live View Mode
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with exposure, remove the
rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before
shooting (
0 81).
Although they will not appear in the final picture, flicker, banding, or distortion may be
visible in the monitor under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is
panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources
may leave after-images in the monitor when the camera is panned. 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 ends automatically if the lens is removed.
Live view may end automatically to prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits; exit live
view when the camera is not use. Note that the temperature of the camera’s internal circuits
may rise and noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be displayed in
the following instances (the camera may also become noticeably warm, but this does not
indicate a malfunction):
• The ambient temperature is high
• The camera has been used for extended periods in live view or to record movies
• The camera has been used in continuous release mode for extended periods
If a warning is displayed when you attempt to start live view, wait for the internal circuits to
cool and then try again.

The Count Down Display
A count down will be displayed 30 s before live view ends automatically ( 0 49; the timer
turns red 5 s before the expiry of the time selected Monitor off delay > Live view—
0 215—or if live view is about to end to protect the internal circuits). Depending on
shooting conditions, the timer may appear immediately when live view is selected. Note that
although the count down does not appear during playback, live view will still end
automatically when the timer expires.
