Agreed. This is how mine is set up and I don't even think much about it. It just functions.Not perfect but works fine.

Ok. Let's see.
I would not want the camera's evf to show playback after shot. I want to shoot the picture and keep on looking live. Just like in an SLR, just this time happens to be an electronic image. Maybe a flicker or brief black screen at the moment of pressing the shutter.
Is this possible and how?
If the above is a possible setup:
Without leaving this mode is it possible to take a picture and move my eyesight to the LCD to review the shot without pushing any button?
In other words, I am just wanting the camera to behave like a DSLR. But only and specifically during these 2 circumstances.
Possible?
TIA

Yes, by using burst mode in M/middle speed there is no blackout. Its how I often shoot but just shoot as though its single shot. Auto review is automatically turned off.
To review you have to select the review button.
Diane
If you use the EVF, I strongly advise keeping auto review set to off. Otherwise the picture you just took pops up in the EVF which is really disruptive to shooting.Thanks Diane.
Just the review button? No need to push lcd/evf switch button before?

^^^^^ in BI ^^^^^^If you use the EVF, I strongly advise keeping auto review set to off. Otherwise the picture you just took pops up in the EVF which is really disruptive to shooting.
Even if you leave auto review on there is no way to set the camera that the immediate picture review is automatically on the LCD
Diane, Uwe and I all have it set up the same way. We all shoot through the EVF. We have auto review set to OFF. We all have Play on LCD set to ON.
If we want to review a shot we push the playback button. The camera will show that image on the LCD. You do NOT need to hit the EVF/LCD button. When you are done reviewing the shot, bring the camera back to eye level and a light touch on the shutter will have the picture back on the EVF again without touching the LCD/EVF button.
The only time I need to use the LCD/EVF button is when I want to switch from shooting through the EVF to shooting from the LCD or if I want to make changes to the camera settings and I want to do this on the LCD rather than through the EVF.
Push the [EVF/LCD] button for LCD viewing:Thank you guys. I think I got the feeling of it. Small thing to do for reviewing a pic. I guess I wouldn't mind.
I assume that if kept the same way, the LCD won't interrupt live image after a shot, it will resume live image immediately.
The key is to set auto-review to OFF. Simple!
Or do you have a certain setup when shooting out of the LCD? Just wondering.
Thanks
Eduardo
Push the [EVF/LCD] button for LCD viewing:
With the LCD preview [off], there is no interruption between shoots. When you are ready to preview, you will push the [play] button as usual, and tap the shutter button to get back to live-view.
I've been getting ready for a trip to Africa so I've been working with the kit I'm taking with me. I will make any gear decisions once I'm back.terry,
are you still shooting your X100 or do you feel the G3 IQ is on par with the Fuji X100?
So am I, and a number of other people, mostly from the Leica User's Group (e-mail). 5 couples. 3 are taking large Nikon gear (200-400/4, 300/2.8 & D3, D700) and 2 of us are going with m43. Main camera will be GH2 with G1 & G3 extra/backup and a bunch of lenses (all the Panasonics and the Olymppus 12/2). Still only about as big and heavy as a D700 with a 70-200. Comparisons with my big Canon stuff convinced me that the Panasonics are the way to go.I've been getting ready for a trip to Africa so I've been working with the kit I'm taking with me.

Exactly - I'm going with GH2 and two G3's and I have an XZ1 in my safari short pocket. I am the only one with m4/3 and my whole kit weighs about what my friends 800mm lens weighs.So am I, and a number of other people, mostly from the Leica User's Group (e-mail). 5 couples. 3 are taking large Nikon gear (200-400/4, 300/2.8 & D3, D700) and 2 of us are going with m43.

I was hoping the 25mm or 45mm would have been available but no such luck.
I could try and go and get a 12mm today but I don't really think I will need that wide very much.
