Re: My First Seven Weeks with the M5

lol101, Thanks for that info. Had seen it in the menus but forgot about it. This will stop the LCD screen switching when moving the focus point (on a tilting screen) when my hand gets to within 4cm of the sensor. I wonder why it is so far? I guess the little M(unchkins) need time to switch. Incoming! Right sir switching in 3 2 1!

For anyone else who like me forgot   I have set up mine now as follows:

Setup1 menu

Display settings

Manual

Screen

Then as lol101 says I allocated the m-fn button to switch viewers.

You can turn off the LCD on the M5.

Just disable the eye detector in the menu options and use one of the customizable buttons to switch between EVF and LCD.
