[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 306285, member: 24753"] I mentioned using Live View in post #30 to avoid the mirror movement and [USER=16090]@aroy[/USER] pointed out the mirror does not stay up on the D3200. Reference posts #30, #32 & #33. It puzzled me that the viewfinder stays dark, so I put the question to Nikon. Received a response that answered half my question, but more or less indicated the D3200 does not have the capability to auto-focus the lens in Live View, so it does drop the mirror, focuses, raises the mirror and releases the shutter before retuning to Live View. The second question was weather there was a slight delay after the mirror raises before the shutter releases, but the Nikon man missed that one and left it unanswered. I added the question, what about Live View with using manual focus because then it makes sense the mirror would not need to move. I'll post the answer when I receive a reply. [/QUOTE]
