Viewfinder clutter of icons on NEX 7

On the NEX 7, I always have a squarish 'view'  icon sitting near the top of my view in the finder. Likewise there is - off and on - a flashing 'hand and on/off' inside the image I am trying to compose on the viewfinder. This also interferes in some settings with the LCD image ...

How can I squelch, wipe off  this clutter? Is there a way to purge the actual seen image rectangle, without also losing the top and bottom bars in the finder with their useful information on speed, aperture, battery life etc etc.

After 8 months with the 7 and several campaigns on my own to try and remedy, this cluttered mess still keeps annoying helpless me.

So, if anyone can help with  good set-up advice, I would be vey thankful.
