On the GX7 is it possible to have the viewfinder be the EVF but have it switch to the rear screen when pressing menu or image review?

Yes using the EVF eye detection sensor facilitates this automatically

Thanks but I don't want the rear screen on all the time when my eye is not to the viewfinder. I only want the rear screen to activate when I hit the menu or image review. At the moment I have to manually toggle the rear screen to look at menus (too fiddly to see in the VF) or review images which is a minor irritation.

Use the evf/LCD key, switch into evf only mode.

Switch to LCD mode if you wish to.

But you shall lose a lot of feature controls, like Touch LCD etc. In fact LCD and evf together (by auto using eye sensor) would not spend much more energy in real life.
