I am new to the Sony family and just got an A7 Mk ii. I love to take sunrise and sunset photos. I recently discovered the Hoodman (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1085425-REG/hoodman_hlpp3m_hoodloupe_3_glare_free.html ) while attending a landscape workshop at Death Valley. The Hoodman is big plus keeping out glare on the monitor and also provides some magnification of the screen. Since the camera automatically turns off the monitor when covered, thinking you are using the viewfinder, this is not working well. I understand that I go to Menu/Custom Settings/Monitor&Finder (4) and select Monitor only versus auto. Is there a better way of doing this?
