By my reading, Dawid, you still don't have it right. The VF is optical, with
the option of overlaying the shooting data. The live view image is available
on the rear LCD screen. In other words, the hybrid VF does not give a live
view image.
Take a look at Fujifilm's promo material:

An interesting offering - from my experience the EXR imaging engine can give
very pleasing results, and the optical VF would overcome the serious
shortcoming of the EXR compacts. I wonder what the shutter-lag will be like?

My apologies for my mistake, I only now understand the viewfinder on this
Fuji camera is a completely new design, a fully hybrid optical (no focusing
aids) or electronic (live view image + shooting data) finder. That's very
interesting, and highly innovative.
Wow.
