Not really. It is some sort of NMOS sensor, different from any others 
to 
date except for the E-330 and Panny and Leica versions of that.  A 
different sensor design which can scan continuously in real time is 
required for live view. So it acts that way in live view, then as an 
ordinary sensor when capturing an image.

   
  I stand corrected, and shall in future refer to "Metal Oxide Semiconductors" 
versus "Charged Couple Devices"
