Quick question and sorry if it has already been adressed in this thread, but does anyone know if they finally fixed the issue with the EVF/LCD sensor switch sensitivity?
Or even better, is there an option to completely shut off the LCD screen at all times, except for image reviews? What I mean is, I really would like to use the EVF solely for composition and focus verification, while having the LCD screen turned off completely (in order to save battery life) unless I specify otherwise. So after I take my shot and press the \"Play/review\" button, it would turn the LCD screen on and show the image on there and then turn off completely once I\'m done. Or, if I specify that I want to use the LCD screen for \"live view\" then the screen will stay on. Is that finally possible?
It would be great if we could have someway to do that...
Just turn off the auto review in the tool menu. This way the LCD doesn\'t show an image after you shoot and if you do want to review it all you do is push the play button. In custom key settings set your right button to deactivate monitor. If you choose to not display anything on your LCD you just push the right button on the control wheel. This really improves battery life and you don\'t have to keep looking at the monitor for every image you shoot. I shoot this way 90% of the time.
Dennish I think what he is referring to is when you are using EVF only, after you shoot the image you have to actually look into the EVF to review the image. Or if you have to adjust anything in the menus, you also have to look into the EVF. There is no quick way to go back and forth from the \"FINDER/MONITOR\" (what I believe Sony calls the EVF/LCD it in their menu).
I have found that sometimes when I shoot from the waist and look through the LCD, it shuts off because the viewfinder activates (there is a proximity sensor on top of the EVF). It would be nice to have an option in the customs button where you can cycle through how the finder/monitor behaves.
Also, the \"deactivate monitor\" doesn\'t actually turn off the LCD, I think it just makes a blank screen. At least on the firmware with my A7s.
