Re: Eye Sensor - could you check something please?

I'm curious if you tune off the back display and then press the Q button if the display comes on? Also with it on will the Q button turn it off. If so this would seem to be more intuitive than the disp button and located in a more conveniant location.

The main reason to have the display on when shooting with the VF is to check or change settings. Since the Q button is part of that process it would make more sens if it worked as described above.

Thanks.

On the SL1, pressing the Q button brings up the  entire display, but an additional press does not turn it off, but rather selects  the specific item previously set, and a third press biings up the submenu items that can be changed under that item setting.

Like I said, I don't have SL2   in hand.  Just going by my SL1.
