Live view ends unexpectedly or does not start
: Live view may end automatically 
to prevent damage to the camera’s internal circuits if:
• 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 modes for extended 
periods. If live view does not start when you attempt to start live view, 
wait for the internal circuits to cool and then try again. Note that the 
camera may feel warm to the touch, but this does not indicate a 
malfunction.
Image artifacts appear during live view
: “Noise” (randomly-spaced bright 
pixels, fog, or lines) and unexpected colors may appear if you zoom in on 
the view through the lens (
0 38) during live view; in movies, the amount 
and distribution of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, and bright spots 
are affected by frame size and rate (
0 141). Randomly-spaced bright 
pixels, fog, or bright spots may also arise as a result of increases in the 
temperature of the camera’s internal circuits during live view; exit live 
view when the camera is not in use.
Flicker or banding appears during live view or movie recording
: Choose an option 
for Flicker reduction that matches the frequency of the local AC power 
supply (

: A flashing sign, flash, or 
other light source with brief duration was used during live view or movie 
recording.
