Live View Nikon/Canon query.

When if live view, I've heard some models allow for darkening/lightening as you're viewing and before you release the shutter.
Could you also observe an object "blowing in the wind" and change your shutter speed until you freeze the action and then take the shot?

With regard to in sharp focus or not, the screen is too small to make that determination with any degree of accuracy. Furthermore holding the camera by hand in live view makes sharp focus impossible unless very high shutter speeds are used. Of course when using a tripod there is more of a possibility of sharp focus, especially if the camera is hooked up to a larger screen. If you are going to print 8X10 or smaller focus is less of a problem

Specifically, I heard a photog state that he could up the shutter speed until he froze the motion of a flower moving in the breeze and then take the shot. Obviously, in low light it would be nice to not increase shutter speed any more than you have too. I was caught off guard because we were in a sunny 16 day and his Iso was at 8000 to accommodate the big time shutter speed. Not pulling my leg and has won many macro shots awards at several club competitions.
Point is he claimed his fx Canon allowed him to freeze the scene by adjusting as he viewed and before shooting.

Using my 70D canon in tether mode, increasing shutter speed or closing down the lens while in live view does cause a darkening of the live view image.
Pointing your camera at a fan on low speed while changing shutter speed in live view should answer the other question for you.

This source, if valid, raises my question as well.

Specifically: "Exposure Simulation
The Canon live view can simulate exposure settings. This means that as you adjust your shutter speed, aperture or ISO values, the live view tries to simulate that.
The Nikon live view acts more like a video camera,
constantly adjusting to the lighting of your set."

That would answer the question for my camera but not expensive fx models!
Thank you for responding!

This is an old write up, just look at the cameras.

I'm slow, is that your final answer?

The only thing that i can tell you that in live view on my D810 and in M i can adjust all the parameters and see the histogram move accordingly and see the result changes just like my samsung nx 1 or fuji xt 1t.
