M5 Problems: How Move Movie Button? Toggle Screen?

Over on my original 'M5 vs M50' thread, M5 user R2D2 came up with a solution to Screen Toggling: assign Turn Screen Off function to some button, and put a piece of tape over the Eye Sensor. It worked! Here's our conversation from that thread:

You have to give yourself a little time to adjust. The UI, ergo, and operation are all foreign to you right now. There are a Huge number of options, so don’t be so hard on yourself.

If you want truly manual control over EVF switching, then do as I did and reassign the “trashcan” button to switch. Then place a piece of electrical tape over the EVF eye sensor. You’ll probably want to extend the “sleep” and/or metering timer(s), and might need to “bump” the shutter on occasion to wake the EVF.

See if any of that helps.

Hey R2, that worked! I had already assigned the Screen Off function to the red Movie button (because I was hitting that one all the time with my thumb, creating accidental videos I had to delete—I moved video to the M-fn button, nicely out of the way). This morning I blocked the EVF proximity sensor (with a piece of Post-It temporarily), and that (a) left the EVF on and (b) when I look through it, kept the screen from turning on. And when I want the screen, I just hit the red (now On/Off button) and it comes back: toggle!

Thanks for the tip. Leaves me wondering why Canon didn't think to have an EVF/Screen Toggle function in its 'assignable' list, so I wouldn't have to physically block the eye sensor with a piece of tape, which seems a little inelegant for a shiny new camera.

Daughter and family are coming up from Virginia next week, so that will give me plenty of opportunity to play with the M5 and maybe "time to adjust." But at least my first two bugaboos have now been resolved (misplaced Movie button, and no built-in EVF/Screen toggling).

Thanks!
