This might be a very basic thing (and I probably just don't have the knowledge) but I come from video, not photography. When I shoot manual mode for video, the lcd/viewfinder display everything fairly accurate. We can bicker about realistic color, focus, all that, but overall, its pretty close to what I will end up with when I drop it in my NLE of choice. However...
With photography, this is not the case. I put my GH2 on M (manual photo, not manual video) to take some photos. The LCD always shows a 'normal' picture, then after I take the photo the REAL picture displays. Suddenly I discover my iso is set too low/high, shutter speed needs to be changed, so forth...
Is it possible to get an accurate 'live view' of the photos I'm taking, or is this just the nature of photography? 'Learning your camera' equals 'learning to guess iso/exposure/shutter better on your camera'??
