But you can't turn off live view. The R5 has the option to do this (option 6 in the screen info options), but the R6 does not.
If you want a blank screen you have to turn it off completely, so it won't even work when you flip it out, without changing the settings. Note, even though there is an 'info' button to cycle through screen options, you cannot use this button to turn on/off the rear screen.
Even the R6 II is lacking this simple feature, so neither the R6 nor R6 II will behave like a DSLR unless you make the camera harder to use. Such a shame.
Also, image review is rubbish for some reason. Never looks sharp. All in all, though it has great IBIS and I love the size and weight of it, I still prefer my 5D4.
I love optical viewfinders, so I'd try the R6II if it had the blank screen option. But since it doesn't, the only mirrorless that might work for me is the R3 with the OVF simulation feature, or the as-yet unavailable R5 II.
Wow, so your "review" gives it 1 star b/c of one feature that doesn't work the way you want it to?
Not that it does not work the way the OP wants it to.
It is that it doesn’t work the way it should have in the first place!
A singel feature that doesn't work the way a user wants it to (saying "the way it should" is subjective) does not justify a 1-star review. It justifies a comment or complaint about a single feature, not trashing the entire camera.
