Thanks Peter, I see where you're coming from but I would call that "no time lag" and not "no blackout" but that might be semantics. As far as I know every camera with a flapping mirror will have a blackout and I only know of one mirrorless camera that doesn't have it (the A9). Only rangefinder cameras truly have "no blackout" and "no timelag" either.When I pan a mirrored camera I don't have any lag in setting up the shot - none under any lighting conditions none - same for a Leica M. I think this is where all EVF devices (currently) are still behind so called old tech. I also don't particularly like having to become familiar with different refresh rates for different conditions - when all I want to do is is focus on the subject at hand - just as one example. Yes EVF (IMHO) is a superior shooting experience - generally speaking - but for some it isn't and I understand why. My choice was an SL2 not an S and it has the features that 35mm market seems to want - including high capability in video.
Roger, sorry for another off-topic post, and I don't know the answer to your question. However the Leica Forum S3 thread is now 22 pages, so maybe you can find the answer in there somewhere.
