[OM] Live view operation, was: E-thingy body recommendation

[Chuck Norcutt]

Can someone with an E-420 or later body with live view clarify its 
operation when using manual exposure and manual focus?  I see no reason 
for the mirror to drop for the exposure.  But does it?  The E-420 manual 
makes no mention at all of using manual exposure in live view mode. 
Even the E-3 and E-30 manuals seem to be no more informative.
