If you're doing portraits, you should be able to use some kind of
stand-in to set framing & focus. I've got one of those Elvis cut-outs I
use.
Just set it up so the distance to the flat is the same as the distance
to your eye when you take its place.
At school they had a half mannequin, but I know some people who use one
of those head forms they sell in wig shops.

I had the clever idea that I can plug an external monitor into the HDMI and use
that for framing etc.
It *almost* works. Unfortunately, if I set the camera’s exposure to use
strobes the live view is so dark it won’t auto focus. Even when I put it on
manual focus, it often refuses to fire the shutter.
Also the screen is so dark, it’s damn near useless for live view.
And there is no way at all to change things so that you can use live view with
a flash.
Sigh.
