[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 56554, member: 9607"] Thanks for the reply Jeff, but that doesn't work. I just tested it again. Shot M/LIVEVIEW, monitor comes back dark. Went back to the information display, then flicked Liveview back on, still dark. Power down, Auto, power up, comes back bright. Also noticed it is only M mode that does this, not A, S, or P. It's almost as if it were the old depth of field preview kind of button, but there's no way I can find to release it after the shot. Even if I hold the +/- button and open up the iris. It's as if the camera holds the iris closed for the preview in Liveview. With this last little bit of playing, I realized it IS iris related. If I snap one off wide open (f/3.8 in this case) it comes back visible. If I close it down, say to a typical f/11, it stays f/11 lightwise in the Liveview, no matter what I move the iris to. The only new way I found to change it is to waste another shot wide open, then it comes back visible, so I can go back to f/11. I'm guessing it's a "feature" I'll some day appreciate! :) Mike [/QUOTE]
