Philippe is teasing ME a little there, George. I never found much use for
LiveView for first months. Possibly may have been spotted in undisclosed
parts of France shooting with my M NOT to my eye ;-)
Just found another use for it actually , using the 'spot' meter function
for a close up reading of model's faces for highlights and shadows.
