I am not sure exactly what you mean. But that camera does not have LiveView. What it does have is DOF preview, in the same place that LiveView is on the K20D. Perhaps that is the confusion?

If you are referring to the switch around the shutter button, it stops down the aperture to whatever the camera is going to use to give you an idea of depth of field. In other words, what is going to be in focus. If you can see nothing happening it may be because the lens is going to be wide open.
Select Av mode and select f16 and try again. The viewfinder will darken and you should see a deeper focus.

Thanks to both of you. Actually, I figured it out after I wrote my first comment. In the Custom setting, I had the setting to optical preview. I changed it to digital preview and it works fine. The manual for the K10D is not very clear on this. Joe
