GX7 - what settings to have the viewfinder permanently on for fast paced street photography?

Hiya,

now that I have purchased the 15mm 1.7, I would like to get back to street photography but I have a nagging issue with the GX7: the eye sensor switch is too slow and I don't seem to find a setting in which the EVF remains permanently on.

Am I missing something?

Basically I want to be able to see something in the street -> raise my GX7 to my eye -> snap right away!

But the delay in the EVF display coming too late to life has me want very badly for a way to keep it on permanently, even at the cost of battery life.

Any ideas?
