Frozen shot preview in evf while shooting sequence!

How do I get rid of that annoying behavior of Q2M that after taking a sequence of shots, while the shutter button is still down, and I'm still shooting, it shows a preview of the first shot and it doesn't show the live vuew from the evf until I release the shutter button. Auto preview is off.

Hi Pompo,

I was just about to post the same problem, when I saw your post.

The problem I encountered was on a new Q3, and the situation was exactly how you describe it: 'after taking a sequence of shots, while the shutter button is still down, and I'm still shooting, it shows a preview of the first shot and it doesn't show the live vuew from the evf'. In my case the shutter button appeared frozen too!

I got out of the problem by switching off, then taking out the battery and re-inserting it. Just as one might do, if a laptop crashes!

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem. 

Is this a firmware issue that might be fixed soon?

Quote from the German Q3 handbook, p. 120:

"It is recommended to disable the preview playback mode ( Auto Play ) when using this function"
