Keeping it up while it already is up may cost energy but should not cost additional time. I would have thought that after the exposure, the camera could immediately open the shutter again to go back to live view, while in normal mode it needs to move the mirror down for the view finder. But given the behaviour of the camera I guess there is something wrong in my assumption on how live view exactly works. | |

| Jul 20, 2022 at 7:59 | comment | added | luator | I get the same behaviour on my D5100, so most likely this is normal behaviour and nothing a repair store could fix. However, I would still be interested in an explanation on why it takes so much longer in live view (which seems counter-intuitive to me as I thought it could just leave the mirror up in this case and thus should even be faster). | |
