Note, that most M43 cameras have articulating display, not tilt as A6500. If you like to shoot from the belly, it will be a problem. That's the reason why I choose GX9.

Articulating screen actually allows keeping the camera closer to your body, but perhaps this was not the point.

It is not the point: keeping camera close to your body activate sensor-switch between EVF and LCD. Articulating screen becomes OFF line.

To shoot from belly means to shoot from belly level, that is it

Huh? Yes, it is the point, that with an articulating screen like that, you can keep the camera closer to your body (your belly...). And you can just cancel the auto EVF switch with a click or two on a function button.

Yes, you can - just for 1 shot only.

Not with my GX8 and I guess other Panasonic cameras.

Do you really follow your ideas when taking belly level photos? If yes, I'll tell you how to do this kind of shots without pressing any buttons or go into camera settings.

I don't take belly shots, I'm just saying that it's possible to disable the automatic EVF switching functionality by simply clicking a function button, at least with my GX8, which has an "articulating" tilting screen, which allows holding the camera closer to my body, if I ever want to do that, which I probably wouldn't, because I'm not into covert shooting anyway.

Or, I see...

BTW, I do covert shooting (sometimes) keeping camera covered by a jacket  under armpit, without any EVF/LCD/OVF - just the old fashion way of rangefinders.

If you all of a sudden decide to take belly level shot, extend your arms a little forward and move your belly little back in order to create a clear space between camera and belly (6" approx.).
