I recently bought a D5300 with a Tamron 16-300 zoom. I use the viewfinder most of the time, but now and again, I use live view.
Here is my question - when I use the viewfinder and press the shutter release, you hear the mirror go up and down as quickly as the shutter speed is set, say 1/500 at whatever f/stop is selected (S priority). However, in live view with the same settings, you hear the mirror go up as soon as you activate live view, then when the release is pressed, there is a delay between the time the release is pressed, the picture is recorded and the mirror goes down. The best way to describe this is it is as if it's set for a long exposure when it is not. Is this normal? Do I need to change a setting?
Thanks
