Part I: Fast Track to Super Snaps
Switching to Live View mode
Like many dSLR cameras, the D3300 offers Live View, a feature that enables
you to use the monitor instead of the viewfinder to compose photos. Turning
on Live View is also the first step in recording a movie; using the viewfinder
isn ' t possible when you shoot movies.
To shift to Live View mode, press the LV button. You hear a clicking sound as
the internal mirror that normally sends the image from the lens to the view-
finder flips up. The viewfinder goes dark, and the scene in front of the lens
appears on the monitor. To exit Live View mode, press the button again.
Here are a few pointers about using Live View mode:
