Thanks for your reply, I think that live view uses contrast AF, it is accurate but slow, that is why I calibrate my lenses for AFMA, with the +2 adjustment it was very similar, and I do think that Mirror lock up is handy whatever the shutter speed is: the vibration caused by the mirror equally affects the IQ whatever your settings. I could be wrong but it does seem logical to me...

Did you take the same shot with and without mirror lock up?

Agree about LV being slow on the mkiii, but its very fast on the newer cameras. A pleasure to use even for moving targets.
