>On page 11 we can see that there is a feature called "high speed sweep for preventing smear" that is used when taking full resolution pictures. Page 9 mentions that to get the low smear properties that you need to close the cameras mechanical shutter, perform a vertical register sweep, then open it again for the final exposure. If I understand this all correctly on a camera with live preview the following has to happen when you take a picture (assuming exposure and AF lock):
* close the shutter * clear the ccd * open the shutter and turn on the ccd at the same time * take the exposure * close the shutter and turn off the CCD * read out the image >On a SLR the first two steps aren't necessary. >alex Hmmm, so essentially for DSLR preview you would taking a picture before you take a picture. Yes, it seems rather redundant. Okay, review is good enough. Thanks, Doe aka Marnie I bet someday the technology gets fast enough for it, though. But that would probably be years down the road.
