By default, the Nikon D3300’s Live View will turn itself off after 10 minutes. You can bump that up to a maximum of 30 minutes. This come in handy when you need to keep the Live View active for longer stretches, such as when you’re connecting your D3300 to a computer to use as a webcam.
You can find this setting under:
Settings > Auto Off Timers > Custom > Live View > 30m
I take photos for a living. Now based in Washington, D.C., I have spent the last 30+ years shooting across seven continents — from underwater environments to mountain peaks. My images and time-lapses have appeared in major newspapers, magazines, museums, professional sports stadiums, and even on massive architectural scrims covering world-famous buildings.
I started this site in 2009 to field-test gear, share problem-solving solutions, and share what I've learned in shooting around the world. I only review gear and services I have personally used. No armchair opinions — just real-world experience. Because, for me, the fun is in the making of the photo.
You can see my travel photography here, license my images or buy prints here, or sign up for my Substack.
My name is David Coleman, and this is my site. I take photos for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Underwater. And a bunch of places in between. I'm based in Washington, D.C.
This site is where I post practical photography help, tips, and troubleshooting.
All posts and reviews on this site are written by me. And I only review gear with which I have personal hands-on experience. By a photographer, for photographers. More about me.
