I can look through my viewfinder even with the camera turned off and I'll see something. If it's black, there's one likely possibility: lenscap.
I guess with a live screen there are several other possibilities: is the camera turned on? Is there an electronic failure? Did I not turn on the live screen? Interesting that he seemed to check these other possibilities (or at least some of them) before the lenscap. And as others have mentioned, amazing that he acted so nonchalant when he noticed the real problem. Either he didn't want to draw attention to himself or he's just a real pro and got down to work.

As long as it is not a RF, you would notice, whether its an optical or electronic. (And it looks like the guys figured it out before he "took" a shot.) Once in a while, I pull my camera out quickly, start with changing the mode and settings on top of the camera, and just as I start bringing the viewfinder to my face somebody would warn me (sometimes with a victorious look on her face) that I have the lens cap still on. What the problem? I would have seen that in a moment.
