Ah-HA! That's what it is!!!

OK. So I haven't played much w/ the live view yet, but this has to be what I was reading about but did not get at the time (mind you, I was reading my manual in the car via crappy flashlight ).

I just now got my camera out and tried it and this works great. I had stayed out of live view over the holiday cuz it eats battery life so much, but this will be great for portraits and narrow dof.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
