No it actually made an exposure, the Oly being a hybrid SLR with optical finder and fixed image splitter was a bit strange. It still had a shutter (as pointed out to me by Godfrey), the live preview did not use the same mechanism as the single frame shot. The dedicated manual WB button was held down with one finger as a the shot was made which sent then invoked a WB confirmation screen on the rear LCD. The K10D could easily be set up to do a similar thing given the digital pre-view mode. And it would be great if the RAW button was user programmable like the front and rear dials. > Shooting RAW in some situations was just too annyoing.
