Re: Changing viewfinder timeout - Canon SL1

I don't understand what you both mean.  When I use my Canon T7i (800D) camera the LCD screen and viewfinder are on continuously.  They never time out.  But my Canon M50 has a sensor that won't let us use the viewfinder and LCD screen at the same time (if I get too close).  As a workaround, I pull the LCD screen away from the body far enough from that sensor.  Then I can look at the LCD screen on the left side very closely and the viewfinder at the same time.  I don't have any of that timing out of the viewfinder with the Canon T7i (800D) camera if that is what you all are referring to.  I don't remember that happening with my Canon T3i (600D) camera either.  That would be annoying if the viewfinder timed out.  Is there a YouTube video that explains that?  It would be interesting to see.  Maybe that would clarify it.
