    Does anyone know for sure if the Nikon viewfinder still operates while you record using an HDMI cable plugged into the camera and record externally? The Canon 5D does not do this and I don’t know if there is a hack to get around this shortcoming.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tony

    Not possible. Live View works by flipping the mirror up (that disables the viewfinder.
