Open the Live View tab and tap Start Live View.

Focus and shoot

  • Tap the picture to focus on that spot.
  • The focus button beside the shutter opens focus mode, AF-area mode and subject detection. While the camera tracks a subject, it becomes End Tracking.
  • The shutter takes a photo. In video mode it starts and stops recording.
  • The self-timer button steps through off, 2, 5 and 10 seconds. Zensō counts down, then releases the shutter.
  • Tap a value in the exposure readouts (mode, shutter, aperture, ISO, EV, white balance) to change it on a dial. Tap it again, or tap the picture, to close the dial.

When white balance is set to a color temperature, a Kelvin dial appears under it. Tap the Kelvin value to type an exact number.

Tools

The tool strip holds the viewfinder aids. A tool that’s on turns the accent color.

  • Viewfinder Grid: tap to show or hide the grid. Touch and hold to choose 3×3 Grid, 4×4 Grid, Diagonals, a 90% frame or a 2.35:1 frame.
  • Exposure aids: a menu where you can turn on Histogram, Waveform, RGB Parade, Traffic Lights and False Color, several at once.
  • Level gauge: shows a horizon line from the camera’s level. Touch and hold the line to move it up or down.
  • Audio Level: in video mode, shows the camera’s audio meter.

Depending on the layout, the strip also has Fill Screen, Hide Controls and Info. With the controls hidden, tap the eye button to show them again.

Leave Zensō while Live View runs

If you switch to another app while Live View is running, Live View continues in Picture in Picture on devices that support it. Return to Zensō to close it.
