Hi,

The OVF is for street photography. The advantage is that you see things outside of your frame like subjects that are about to enter the frame. It makes absolutely no sense for portraits or close up photography.

A shame. Because it is actually fun to use.

If you insist to use it for portraits or closeup of course you can but you have to deal with parallax errors and the fact that eye AF doesn't work.
