Sorry about my English, Walter, but I have not got the meaning of your "next to useless but for live view". Do you mean the DOF button can be used as a kind of live view?[/quote]
Live view = option in most of the current DSLRs = Mirror swings upwards, shutter is opened, main display shows the picture-to-be, viewfinder is blocked. Press the magnify button and troubles setting focus are gone.
[quote name='Frank' timestamp='1301650424' post='7282']Yes, I agree that the point 9 in that article is not useful for viewfinder not covering 100%.[/quote]
I would rather say it's blunt nonsense for another reason. To detect mechanical vignetting you will get best results with good contrast. And reduced contrast is exactly what you get pressing said button.
Ciao, Walter
