Re: R5: keeping EVF open

As Drsnoopy says, the EVF is very battery intensive, much more so than the LCD.

With my R5, provided the camera is powered ON, the EVF functions instantly when I bring my eye up to it, however, you would have to set Auto Power to Disable to prevent Start-up delay, and that would also use up battery power, but likely, not as much as continuous EVF.

Of course, with an external power source, or adequate spare batteries not a problem either way.
