marcosbase Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Is there a way to turn the finder´s sensibility off on the a6500? The camera "thinks" that the back plate of my waterhousing is my eye, so it keep turned on and never goes to POWER SAVE mode. My battery goes off rally quick.

Pieter Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Does it help to turn the viewfinder off manually? Menu: Display/Auto Review1 (menu 2 page 6/9) -> Finder/monitor -> Monitor(manual). Can also map Finder/monitor to a hotkey I think Edited June 2, 2019 by Pieter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcosbase Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 That´s what I'm doing. I usually set it to Monitor (manual), but the finder sensitivity doesn't allow it to Power Save after 10 seconds. If there was a way to turn this sensitivity off, it would work perfectly!

Pieter Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 If you're really desperate: does it help to tape off the sensor (e.g with black insulation tape)? I read about some hack to make the sensor less sensitive by taping off half of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcosbase Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I saw that on youtube, but it doesn´t make it unsensitive, it just avoid the camera from switching from monitor to finder. Edited June 2, 2019 by marcosbase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
