Re: EVF vs Live View

Interesting question. I am finding that I use LV a little more than I used to, mainly due to the flip out screen, but I'm still easily in the 90% EVF category.

FWIW since getting the R6 I'm increasingly using the EVF to review shots rather than looking at the rear LCD. This is partly due to eyesight issues (starting to really need glasses for reading distance but never carry them with me!) but also due to the return of the thumb joystick for panning the image around.

On that last point, does anybody know if there's a way to enable panning of review images in the EVF using the rear LCD - in much the same way as the rear LCD is used to move the AF point while composing in the EVF? If that's not possible and anybody from Canon  is seeing this, how about adding that in a firmware update?
