A couple things I like about the M5.

1. The ability to basically turn off the eye sensor for the EVF. I programmed the M-Fn button to toggle between the EVF and rear screen. . .

How did you do this? I've just gotten an M5, and asked this here (before thinking to search the forum):

I use the EVF exclusively for shooting, but occasionally want to look at the screen. So I want to be able to toggle between the EVF and the screen with a button, as I do on my SX50. I got the screen to turn off, using Viewfinder - Manual in the Menu, but can't figure out how to toggle the two with a button.

I've just switched the video from the red button to the M-fn button, because I keep hitting the former with my thumb and getting a pile of accidental videos. Not sure the red button would be the best place for the EVF-Screen toggle, given how in-the-way it is. Need another button I won't really need. . .
