agreed - I soon found that the simplest thing to do is to focus at a low resolution and then switch up; although it never 'disappears' - snapshot capture seems virtually instantaneous and you only save to file when you're happy with the image (that takes a couple of seconds on my laptop); I also am using a dedicated external LED screen as the one on the laptop is relatively small
