Nikon D5300 missing LiveView Switch?

Question

I am brand new to the camera community. I recently bought a D5300 but the LiveView Switch is missing. Is there any other way to activate that without that particular switch. In other words, how do I work the camera to where I can see what I’m about to record or shoot a photo?

Answer 1

You need that missing lever. 

     

Professional camera repair typically costs between $100 and $200 per hour 

with a 15 to 30 minute minimum charge. 

Parts are extra, and they are not cheap. 

     

     

Answer 2

There are manuals for this but if you completely believe that only nerds read manuals, look at your camera. There's a lever labeled LV.

Answer 3

Psst - that glass thing just above the screen is a tiny peephole that runs right through the lens. Try that.
