Break the LCD Review Habit for Better Photography

The 'review reflex,' where photographers repeatedly check their LCD screen after each shot, costs time and hinders skill development by interrupting the creative flow. This habit delays the development of confidence in one's settings and ability to capture a moment without immediate validation. While checking is useful at the start of a shoot, after technically demanding shots, or when learning, it becomes unnecessary with modern mirrorless cameras that provide live exposure previews in the electronic viewfinder. Turning off automatic image review and consciously deciding when to check can help break this dependency.
