Live view turns itself off after a period of time. I believe with my Nikon it's 30min.

For me, having to press the LV button twice an hour seemed more preferable than flashing the firmware.

Can be disabled

Live view auto shutoff can be disabled? No it can't[1], not without modified firmware that either doesn't exist[2] or is only available from sketchy mega uploads[3]. There are other[4] hacky workarounds, but nothing clean.

You forgot to specify what camera you use. No need to extrapolate from your camera to all Nikons.

I said "with my Nikon". You said definitively that it "can be disabled". Your statement was incorrect - you were the one extrapolating.

Yes, because you didn't mention any camera model.
