OM-5 (OMD E-M5 Mark III) New Owner Question (3)...

[40Eridani-Vulcan]

I can't seem to find this in the Instruction Manual so I'm thinking it's not an option.

I would like to have the rear screen off except for when I either...

• Press the INFO button
• Press the Image Review button
• Press the MENU button

Otherwise I want it to be off. And, I want the EVF to be off until I raise it to my eye.

Is this possible?

Yes.

Cog -> I -> EVF Auto Switch is ON or ON2

Wrench -> WiFi/Bluetooth -> Bluetooth to OFF (needed to activate Quick Sleep)

Cog -> J2 --> Quick Sleep ON with Screen sleep of 3 seconds

Also, the Viewfinder-Selection function should be mapped to a button

Now if I press the Viewfinder-Selection button, the screen will display a non-live SCP, and after three seconds the screen will be black, with the EVF off until I raise it to my eye.

OK, well, that's sort of what I want. But, that now limits the INFO display to 3 sec which, for the SCP for sure, is not practical

I was hoping for a way to just have it off completely until I activate INFO, MENU or image

Thank you anyway.
