As I mentioned previously, you can have the rear screen always display the settings, so you can glance at the rear screen instead of the top one

Thanks for your helpful reply. It won't work for me in all situations that I find myself in (astrophotography and other shoots where I have the rear screen flipped around and my eye is not up to the EVF, for example) but it may be the closest I can get with this design. I don't chimp that much so I currently use the rear screen just to check the histogram and for the "spirit level" on my 5DIV, and for those functions plus the Q menu on my 6DII to change the white balance.

Thanks again for your info. If I make the purchase that's how I'd set it up.
