Viewfinder / Monitor Issue

[WendyD]

Hi I'm new to forum.

I have sony a7rIII. When I use a loupe on my display ( monitor)the display will go black as a finger or the loupe gets too close to the viewfinder.

I use the loupe to check focus especially in daylight.  How can I stop this from happening.

 

Thanks

Tilt the display screen a tiny little bit and the sensor in the viewfinder won't switch the display of.

This applies to previous A7 cameras, in the a7r3 this problem is solved by tilting the display screen.
