A Beeps During Live View
A beep may sound if you adjust aperture, use the live view selector, or
rotate the mode dial during live view. This does not indicate an error or
malfunction.
A Exposure Preview
In modes P, S, A, and M, you can use live view
to preview how changes to shutter speed,
aperture, and ISO sensitivity will affect
exposure: simply press the i button and
select On for Exposure preview (note that
although exposure compensation can be set
to values between –5 and +5 EV, only values
between –3 and +3 can be previewed in the monitor). Exposure
preview is unavailable at shutter speeds of A (bulb) and % (time),
while the preview may not accurately reflect the final result during
bracketing, at a shutter speed of v, when exposure preview is
used with Active D-Lighting (0 153) or HDR (high dynamic range;
0 155), when A (auto) is selected for the Picture Control Contrast
parameter (0 151), or when the built-in flash is used or an optional
flash unit is attached. If the subject is very bright or very dark, exposure
may not be accurately reflected in the display and the exposure
indicator will flash.
