[QUOTE="Nonno, post: 353744, member: 31346"] I was bored so I mounted my D5200 on my tripod and started messing with LiveView. Since I've had the camera I always shot thru the viewfinder and in manual mode. So, these are the two things that I noticed. First was the exposure compensation meter was very different for both. I guess I should have told you that all settings were the same, the only difference was switching back and forth from LiveView to the viewfinder. Also, I understand you are suppose to block the viewfinder when using LiveView but it was off by a lot. The other thing I noticed (could be I'm just nuts), I was focusing on a very specific spot on a umbrella handle. When using LiveView, I would zoom in and move the single block to exactly where I wanted. Even though it didn't look very clear at the time, after I took the picture and reviewed it, the picture was very sharp. When I did the same thing thru the viewfinder, single spot right on the same spot on the umbrella handle, when reviewing the pictures it didn't seem as sharp to me. I repeated it several times and every time it was the same. So, thats that ..... just found it odd and I'm curious if anyone has noticed this or if I'm doing something wrong.
