Honestly I find live view useless as implemented in the M240. Completely 
useless because of the unbelievable shutter lag for non-landscape images and 
inability to move the magnified area of the view around to check focus for 
landscape work. 

For the decisive moment you will need to anticipate an additional 1/2 sec or 
more in advance. For landscapes you will need to reframe after focusing.

Sorry, but I never use live view. But I own no R  lenses which it may 
actually be useful for per others' experiences I have read. 
Best,
