After shooting, play the picture back in the monitor to ensure that the
photograph has been recorded. Note that the sound the mirror makes
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway or the AF-ON button is
pressed can be mistaken for the sound of the shutter, and that pressing
the shutter-release button all the way down when the camera is unable to
focus in single-servo AF will end live view without a photograph being
recorded.
