Re: canon M5 turns off the screen

IMO the logic in the M5 is deeply flawed in this respect. If you tilt the camera it just turns itself back on. If you put anything near the EVF, it turns itself back on. There was a whole thread about this a while back.

I too have the M-Fn button set to turn the LCD off, but, given the above, it feels like i have to fight to keep it off. I've just got used to powering it down now if I don't think I'll need it immediately.
