You can shoot while viewing the picture on the camera’s LCD monitor. This is called "Live View shooting". This page describes how to shoot still photos using the Live View function in default settings.
For details on how to change settings to enable Live View shooting, please refer to the 'Related information' section.
CAUTION
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
IMPORTANT
If you handhold the camera and shoot while viewing the LCD monitor, camera shake can cause blurred images. Using a tripod is recommended.
1. Set the lens focus mode switch to [AF].
2. Set the camera's power switch to [ON].
3. Press the [
] button to display the Live View image.
- By default, Continuous AF will take effect.
- The Live View image will closely reflect the brightness level of the actual image you capture.
4. Select an AF point.

- If no faces are detected or if you tap the LCD monitor but do not select any face or subject, the camera will switch to [FlexiZone - Multi] with automatic selection.
IMPORTANT
- If the subject’s face is significantly out of focus, face detection will not be possible. In such a case, set the lens’s focus mode switch to [ MF ] and focus manually.
- An object other than a human face may be detected as a face.
- Face detection will not work if the face is very small or large in the picture, too bright or too dark, or partially hidden.
- The [ ] may cover only part of the face.
- If you press [ ] or the [ ] button, the AF point [ ] will appear at the center and you can use the [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ] keys to move the AF point.
