The LCD runs off the sensor. It can't be running the LCD while the
actual exposure is made, can it?
I *think* it works like this: In LV the sensor runs the LCD until the
shutter is triggered. Once triggered, the mirror drops, the LCD is
cut off from the senor (blackout) and the exposure is made via the
sensor like any conventional SLR, saved to card while at the same time
there shows a brief (2 seconds, roughly) confirmation view of the shot
just made to LCD, followed by return to LV.on the LCD.
Sorry if I'm missing something here.
