Long exposures

In reply to Ralf B, 5 months ago

One point in DK's review that I hadn't yet considered. Is it possible to switch off both EVF and LV? Eg for taking star trails - after composing, there's no need for either viewfinder, and it would be a concern if the unnecessary battery drain was going to compromise such photography.
