NIKON KNOW-HOW
Live View explained
Live View is an invaluable and effective alternative to the viewfinder
Digital SLRs are based on an optical system using mirrors and prisms that shows you the scene you’re photographing in the viewfinder. But Nikon DSLRs can also give you a big-screen view on the LCD display using a live video feed straight from the sensor. It’s a way of framing your pictures that mobile phone users take for granted.
For the DSLR user, the introduction of Live View on Nikon DSLRs in 2007 was revolutionary. Much more than a gimmick, this feature is now found on every single body in the current Nikon DSLR range. On mirrorless Z-system cameras, you’re effectively always shooting with Live View, whether you’re looking through the electronic viewfinder or at the rear LCD.
For many subjects, using this alternative viewing system brings some significant advantages to your photography.
