I realize this thread is a bit old but I wanted to post my solution in case it helps somebody else.

My solution to get around this was to buy a little 3" LCD screen loupe to put on the LCD screen. The one I bought was $30 and uses bands to wrap around the back of the screen. It magnifies the LCD as well as helps block out sunlight. It is essentially a massive 3" EVF.

This way I can still use a camera flash in the hot shoe and have an easier time manually focusing and seeing what I'm shooting in bright conditions.

There may be better loupes out there but this one more than gets the job done.

Only downside is it no longer allows using the touch screen but I'm more of a fan of using the button controls anyway. I use the wheel to get through the menu when I need to. Really has made using the camera with a EVF and flash a game changer.

Another solution is to use a on camera LCD monitor with a loupe. A bit more expensive but it will provide even better results than the 3" LCD will. I use a 5" loupe on the BMD Pocket 4k camera for video and it is a game changer for shooting in outdoor sunlight. I am thinking of adding it to a Ninja V or similar 5" monitor to see how well that works at a 5" 1920x1080 EVF for photos.

My first solution is under $30 however and doesn't add any extra bulk to the camera. It makes it easier to handle gives a better point of contact for stability and blocks out better Han a tiny EVF ever could. I tried using a EVF on other cameras but since I wear glasses I always preferred a larger loupe.

Was looking for flashes and ended up finding this thread and more so this specific post. Do you have a link / name to the loupe you used?
