[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 306015, member: 13090"] Live View does move the mirror up and out of the way so the image coming through the lens can be projected straight on to the cameras sensor. That same image is then output from the sensor to the rear-LCD and we can use the LCD for framing and focusing instead of the viewfinder. Some people simply prefer this method and Live View does use a different method for achieving focus (Google "Phase Detection" vs "Contrast Detection" if you really want to get your geek-on) which some people also prefer. When I say "Mirror Lock-up", though, I'm referring to an option I specifically employ for stills in order to prevent "mirror slap" and increase sharpness. The same action is being taken in both cases -- the mirror is moved out of the way of the sensor -- but it's being done for two different reasons. Clear as mud? [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
