Re: A simple impression on EOS M5

Hi, I am typing this on my phone so I can't easily put in references to the manual. But there is a Display option on tab 1 of the setup menu. You can change toggling from LCD to EVF to manual. That will stop the automatic feature where the EVF turns on or off depending whether you are looking through it.

If you literally never want to use the LCD you can set EVF to be ON in that same menu and leave it set that way. Otherwise you can program one of the buttons (I use M-Fn) to toggle between the two displays.

Be aware that anything detected by the sensor (like your clothing or the inside of your bag) will keep the evf on and will stop the camera going into sleep mode. Either wait for the camera to sleep before putting it in a bag or hoster or turn it off with the switch.
