It's actually EVF with the Info Screen in order to use the power saving mode. I have found it too annoying to use given the restrictions, so I can't say how much better the battery life is. You might consider a solar charger as an option.

That's how I've always my G7 and G80. LCD set to Info Screen and picture review to 2 seconds. Disable Quick AF as it's not needed if you shoot via the EVF and enable Eye Focus.

I second taking 3 batteries, a dual slot USB charger and at least one 10Ah USB battery pack.
