It is possible to use the LCD monitor as a viewfinder. You can view the exposure or white 
balance effect and the subject’s composition while you take the picture.
Close the eyepiece shutter so the light entering through the viewfinder does not affect the 
exposure while shooting with live view. 

g“Eyepiece shutter” (P. 58)

Press the u button.

• The mirror is raised and the subject is displayed 

on the LCD monitor.

• The screen prompting you to close the eyepiece 

shutter is displayed.

• When you press the shutter button all the way 

during live view, the focus is locked and a picture 
is taken. The image display on the monitor 
freezes as the mirror goes down during focusing.

• To focus in advance, hold down the 

AEL/AFL 

button and press the shutter button. When the 
focus is locked, the AF confirmation mark lights 
up. When the AF confirmation mark is blinking, 
the focus is not locked.

• When the AF mode is set to S-AF, the picture 

cannot be taken until the focus is locked.

• In MF mode, you can press the 

AEL/AFL button 

to activate the auto focus.

You can change the angle of the LCD monitor on 
the camera. This enables you to shoot at an 
awkward angle while checking the subject’s 
composition on the LCD monitor.
• Slowly rotate the LCD monitor within the 

moveable range.
