Sebastien,

I am a Canon owner and I have a couple of clip filters. They do not change the operation of the camera in any way. I am not sure why you are saying that "only liveview shooting is available".

LiveView images are very short exposures, only a few milliseconds long. LiveView shooting is only useful for solar system objects like the Moon and bright planets. Deep sky objects are too dim for such short exposures.

Some Nikon clip filter will force you to move the mirror box in up position to install the clip filter and the clip filter housing will hold the mirror up.  Not sure I approve this design but this is how some work.  I suspect this is the one of those filters.

Regards,
