Re: X-E4 vs X-Pro3? Or the Leica CL is a great option

X-E4 attempts to do the waist-level LCD like the X-Pro3, but there is a glitch. If you flip out the X-E4 LCD to do waist-level shooting, and you get the camera within 8 inches of your waist, the LCD image will invert. If you move the camera more than 10 inches from your waist, it will be OK. These distances vary from camera to camera and some are much more sensitive than others. As yet, there is no fix for this.

I just purchased an X-E4 to accompany my X-T4. I do not have this problem. I have the "shooting" view mode set to EYE SENSOR. This flips between the EVF and LCD based on something blocking the EVF sensor. HOWEVER, when the LCD is opened TO ANY position, the eye sensor is disabled. I can even place my thumb directly over the sensor and is does not kill the LCD. When I set the LCD back into the body, the EVH eye sensor goes back to controlling EVF versus LCD. (body firmware version 1.04)

But my X-T4 (also set on EYE SENSOR) functions as the previous poster suggested, causing me to hold the camera a few inches off of my body!
