Does anyone know how they do the live display with the SLR mirror? Ordinarily the mirror would block light from getting to the sensor until the shutter is released.
They simply lock the mirror.
yep, thats correct. with live display, the mirror will be flipped up, and the viewfinder will not be useable.
Of course - lock up the mirror! Makes perfect sense. The best solutions are the simple ones. Thanks.
