Has anyone noticed any exposure problems while using live view?
Do you cover the view finder opening before you take the shot, as Nikon suggests? I was going to do some tests on this, but haven't had time to do so.

Hi all, I was wondering how many of you use your view finder for shooting instead of Live View? I have found that shooting in live view,it takes longer between shots as did my older point and shoot Nikon Coolpix. Now, it doesn't take nearly as long with my Canon T4I ,yet still have to wait a bit. When shooting thru the viewfinder though, in manual mode,it is much faster.
Would like to be able to use Live View more,yet the wait time between shots is way too long for me. Also shooting thru the view finder, my huge nose gets in the way and leaves condensate on the camera back.
Any input on the subject would be helpful. I have camera set to save both raw and jpg images at highest resolution. Thanks , Tim

I am new for using liveview, my old Canon 5D Mk1 didn't have it. Now I have a Pentax K5 II which has live view. I still like using the view finder for most photos, just feels more natural. For Pentax while liveview is slower, the focus is more accurate in good light.
I am mostly a landscape shooter, so not too many moving things.

I do like liveview if shooting something down low or odd angles where I can't get my eye ball & glasses to look through the viewfinder.

It depends entirely on the type of photography I'm doing. If using the camera on a tripod for "serious" images, I prefer live view and manual focus. For snap shots, I prefer the viewfinder on autofocus.
