#Nikon d600 liveview update
Nikonrumors says there is a firmware update coming for the D600 that may address some of the Live View issues. Try it - I can almost guarantee it's faster than the normal way. Re the steps I use, it is literally the same number of steps, but when I double-tap the LV button it is similar to doing both of those in one step (kind of like double-clicking your mouse).
#Nikon d600 liveview manual
So, for critical work, based on what you say here, I think I'll 1.) use a single focus point (max aperature), focus on the subject, then set the lens to manual focus, 2.) Set the target aperature, switch to LV to check DOF and how subject fits into focus range 3.) Evaluate and set the exposure at target aperature, then 4) Take the shot.ĭo you put the eyepiece cover on when doing LV? I see that Nikon recommends this in the manual.Ĭheers, KLB (same Anonymous in handgrip thread) Reply Delete Have you tried shooting movies with the D600 in bright sun? What a joke. I have even considered switching to the Sony A99 with it's far superior LV modes, especially since the viewfinder can be used for either movies or stills. I wonder if Nikon is purposely dumbing it down? I mean, why no DOF preview or histogram showing actual exposure BEFORE taking the shot? I have been dissappointed/frustrated with the LV implementation on the D600 and have used it very little thus far. I had noticed how little can be changed realtime. I didn't realize the acutal DOF was shown in LV. Of course, this is the same number of steps, just in a different order.Īnyway, thanks for the tip about using a large aperature to focus, then stopping down. It's smoother to me than exiting LV, changing the aperture, and reactivating LV. Then I just press the LV button once to deactivate it and press it again to activate it. "When I want to change the aperture and see the change in DOF, I change the aperture even while LV is active. When I want to change the aperture and see the change in DOF, I change the aperture even while LV is active. If you select a narrow aperture, it will be harder for the camera to focus. After Live View is activated, changing the aperture will not show any changes to the depth of field in the Live View display.) If you do this, then the Live View image will show the actual depth of field for the chosen aperture. The trick is to select the aperture before you activate live view. Many people would prefer WYSIWYG although one advantage of the non-WYSIWYG is that it's easier to work with when you are using flash and you are deleting the ambient light.Īnyhow, I found out that you can see the depth of field in Live View Photo mode. Changes to exposure compensation show up only within a range of +/- 3EV (or -3 to +1EV when it's dark). You won't see any change to the depth of field, blur, or noise.
#Nikon d600 liveview iso
Changing the aperture, shutter speed and ISO while in Live View Photo mode will not show any changes to the Live View Photo display. The Nikon D600's Live View Photo mode is not WYSIWYG.
