The Live Wiew picture is not what I get

Post by Magne »

Isn't the point with Live View that you shall be able to preview the final picture ?
That is not happening with my setup, I get a different picture than what is shown in Live View.
The picture is too light and there is less color.

I would like to have the picture as shown in Live View.
How ?

The live view image stream is sent to your computer from the camera in the lowest quality 640x400 jpgs. These jpg's may be lighter or darker than the final image depending on whether you have live view exposure preview enabled/disabled on the body. For example with it disabled, you may shoot a dark scene and can see it well in live view, but the final image is very dark. This is because the body is trying to lighten the image so you can see the composition.

The body color enhancement settings (such as grayscale) also tend to come through in the live view stream but may not be visible in the raw image, but likely would be in the final JPGS's. Best thing is to experiment with the settings to get the best results.
