ABSTRACT
Live View mode still offers the advantage of framing your images from odd angles, including overhead. The Sony A300 and A350 have the further advantage of a tilting LCD screen that allows shooting from overhead or down low quite a bit more easily. You can activate Live View mode by finding the Live View/OVF switch on the camera’s top deck and sliding
it forward. This moves a mirror inside the viewfinder that redirects the light to a small mirror, lens, and sensor inside the viewfinder that captures your Live View image. This switch also closes a shutter over the optical viewfinder to keep out stray light, making Live View mode a great way to shoot on a tripod, as it prevents light entering through the optical viewfinder from disturbing your camera’s meter.
