Shooting video without using LCD screen?

Hopefully, one last question to you guys. When you are shooting video, can you do this without using your main display, meaning can you shoot video with your viewfinder only? I think this feature would be nice to use in graduation, recital...etc so I don't bother people around me.

Hi TeddyBear.
I'm certainly not an expert on the matter, but I'd think that it wouldn't be possible since the camera needs to flip the mirror up to expose the sensor in order to record the video. The viewfinder needs the mirror down to be able to "see" the reflected light coming from the lens.
I'd try to adjust the brightness on the display and dim as much as possible.


Just my 2 cents :)
