Here are the important points to know before you experiment with Live View shooting: But using your monitor as a viewfinder on your camera isn't quite as simple as when you use a point-and-shoot, non-SLR model - again, the difference is due to the more involved design of an SLR camera.

When you use the viewfinder, you can brace the camera against your face, creating a much steadier shooting stance.ĭue to some design complexities that I won't bore you with, most digital SLR cameras do not enable you to preview shots on the monitor.
