During live view, the image on the LCD monitor is the same image received by the image 

pickup device (Live MOS sensor/imager) that is used for shooting. This way you can check 

on the LCD monitor the effects of exposure compensation or white balance. Moreover, you 

can also enlarge part of the subject to focus on it or display ruled lines to check that the 

composition is level.

While the image appears on the LCD monitor during live view, the mirror is raised and the 

shutter is open. Therefore, you will not be able to check the subject in the viewfinder.

Correct metering may not be possible if strong light is coming in through the viewfinder. In 

such case attach the eyepiece cover.

In live view you can choose one of 3 available AF systems. The [LIVE VIEW AF MODE] 

setting will determine when and how focusing is performed.

* For the latest information about Olympus lenses compatible with Imager AF, visit the Olympus 

website. When you are using a lens that is not compatible with [IMAGER AF], [HYBRID AF] will 

be selected automatically.

• The light coming in through the lens

is reflected on the mirror and you can check the

subject in the viewfinder. 

• The mirror is raised and the shutter is 

open. The image received by image 

pickup device is displayed on the LCD 

monitor.
