Nikon d90 live view time limit?

[luka_pogacar]

<p>Hi Iam just wondering if anybody knows what happens if I accidentally forget to turn off live view. Does the function turn off for itself or it will drain the battery out and what about overheating?<br>

Thanks, Luka</p>

<p>See page 46 of the English version of the D90 manual. Live view can be used for up to one hour and will self cancel to prevent overheating.</p>

<p>I suggest you download the PDF version of the manual. It is quite easy to search; it makes it much easier to find things than in the print manual. Here is a link:<br>

<p>As Brooks inducates and there is some further discussion on issues here -<br>

<p><em>"There is also a limit of one hour to the time that the camera can be in Live View (as well as video) mode. This is to prevent overheating. The camera will warn that there are 30 second remaining and count down the time before shutting down. If the ambient temperature is not too high it may be able to start shooting Live View and / or video again right away, or, in high ambient temperature conditions it may shut down even sooner."</em></p>

<p>I also suspect that having Live View on for an hour will severely drain the battery, too.</p>

<p>I asked that coz I think that have accidentally left camera sitting with live view on, and after several hours I saw that camera is in standby mode. So wasn't sure what happens if you left live view on for multiple minutes according to sensor getting hot? But on internet I can't find anything related to sensor being fried in live view mode.<br>
