Hi,
Love my G5x, over time learning to use more of its capabilities, but I've run into 2 obstacles;
Taking your statement of camera model at face value, I'm commenting on the G5X, not the G5X ii.
1. Very hard to use in bright daylight. My old G11 (needing repairs) was very easy to use in bright daylight because the eye level viewfinder was pure optical, something very hard to get any more. The G5x - the flat panel just washes out even set to full brightness, and I cannot find any way to turn up the brightness on the EVF. The eyecup doesn't help - it just doesn't block light out and I can't find a replacement that would.
The flat panel on my G5X is usable in bright daylight for framing and composition, but not for manual focus.
I've never had an issue with the EVF washing out in bright daylight such as you described....are you not bringing the eyecup all the way to your eye, or are you attempting to sight through the viewfinder while wearing glasses?
As a spectacles wearer I often have to shade EVFs with my hand or wearing a peaked cap can help. At least the EVF switches automatically which can be a problem with glasses.
