Exposing the sensor at the last moment (when the mirror moves into position and the shutter opens) results in decreased noise compared to live preview. I think this has to do with residual charge and heat on the CCD. Also, in some situations an LCD is hard to see, whereas the optical viewfinder has no lag, has fantastic picture quality, and looks right through the lens, which is great for all sorts of situations.
- sathackr 10y agoGreat information -- I hadn't thought of that. I tried googling my question first and didn't get very far.
- Gracana 10y agoI actually tried googling for a source for what I was saying and didn't find anything. It's what I've always heard, and it makes sense.. but everything I found was talking about other issues with noise (and talking about audible noise from the mirror movement, heh.)
