High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause noise or
irregular colors in the captured image shot with Live View shooting.
During continuous shooting, the exposure set for the first shot will also
be applied to subsequent shots. If you recompose during continuous
shooting, the exposure might not match the latter shots.
If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn
off automatically as set with [5 Auto power off]. (p.47)
While the image is magnified, pressing the <A> button will not renew the exposure setting.
During the 5x or 10x magnified view, the image sharpness may be applied to a
higher degree than what was set. This is to make it easier to focus manually.
