When in any of the manual modes, the LCD screen comes on, so no issues there..

Can you use the LCD on the back of the camera while in any of the automatic modes?? If so, any hints how to do this??

Cheers

Hi Dez,

You can't use liveview when in any of the automatic modes. It will only work when in manual mode.
