[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 805519, member: 48483"] Put it simply, you can toggle between 2 modes of viewfinder behavior. Either the viewfinder display turns black as images are being recorded or the view freezes with the image being recorded. Turning black replicates how the viewfinder of a DSLR is blocked while photos are exposed. The freeze-frame option I find makes it distracting to my brain for tracking moving subjects. It is easier to work with if the shutter speed is faster. But the blackout option loses all clues for tracking objects. My brain seems to be wired to handle that better though. Freeze-frame is the default setting in the menu. This is a necessary evil of mirrorless bodies because the camera is busy trying to capture a photograph so providing smooth video display with the camera sensor is not possible. Just think about it a second if you are using with mechanical shutter active. Shutter is wide open to display video in the viewfinder until you push shutter-release. Then the shutter must close, thus losing the video display. Then the shutter opens and closes at the set shutter speed to take the photo. As you hold the shutter release down to take a burst, the shutter is only open to update the video displayed in the viewfinder during the taking of photos. So you get slow, jerky display like watching an online video stream in 1998. [/QUOTE]
