Please explain, with diagrams if you can to show how a DSLR Optical Viewfinder can still be used to view the scene with the mirror raised?

I don't care that you can [of course] use electronic shutter AFTER the mirror has been raised, that's not the point I'm making.
What I am saying is that you cannot look through the (OVF) optical viewfinder (8) and still see the scene through the lens while the mirror (2) is raised with Pentax DSLRs.



One of the main reasons for using electronic shutter with MILC is 'silence'. A DSLR will still make a 'reflex' sound at least once when using it's electronic shutter mode.

The OP asked "Is electronic shutter available in normal optical viewfinder mode "
This implies the OP wants to use the electronic shutter while looking through the OVF, otherwise why would he have mentioned the OVF at all?

You just proved my point. The mirror HAS to be up therefore there can be no OVF view. (as asked by the OP)

How could that even be possible with a mirror in the way? It has to flip up to expose the sensor which in turn closes off the OVF.
