[QUOTE="nickt, post: 670416, member: 4923"] Welcome. No, in a DSLR, you are looking right through the wide open lens. At most you can push the pv button to preview depth of field. Many of us reprogram that button for other uses though. Live view does not necessarily represent the final image exposure either. I think in time you will not worry about this. The meter will usually get things right or you will know by the scene what compensation to make. If you are shooting manual, you still have the meter in the viewfinder if you want a guide. Be aware of your meter modes and how they work. (matrix, center weighted and spot) Not knowing your experience level, I have to ask, you are not just randomly picking manual settings, right? If so, get familiar with the basics of exposure and the exposure triangle. We can post links to help with that if you need it. [/QUOTE]
