Sony 828 video preview?

[ziggy53]

Is it possible to use the video port on the Sony 828 digital camera during still capture mode? In other words, can I use a video display to show a still composition before I shoot the image?

The reason is it's not always possible/practical to get close to the camera when shooting product photography, for instance.

How suitable is the Sony 828 for product photography?

Thanks,
