A6000 - how to toggle viewscreen off?

[82DMC12]

Hi all,

 

I couldn't find this in the manuals so I'm wondering if it is possible...

 

I know in the MENU you can choose EVF / Viewscreen / Auto.

 

But is there a way to turn off the view screen with a single button?  I can't find an obvious way to assign this to a custom button, and it's not in the options for viewscreen display mode (would be great if you could hit the up button say, 3 times, and it would cycle to OFF).  I used to have a sony P&S that allowed you to do this, it seems like it should be possible.   I would like to turn the screen off such as when I am street walking between shots (though I usually use the EVF anyway).

 

Thanks

Andy

I coudn't find that one either. I thought the greatest

feature of the A3000, other than a give-away price,

was that it lacked the auto-switching sensor and it

had just a single-purpose well-placed button that

toggled between the EVF and the rear LCD.

 

BTW I can't find any such thing on the A7M2 either :-(

 

Sony only provided the thing we both want on its very

cheapest model, so I guess they think it's not really

a desirable feature but just a burden that the bottom

of the market user hasta suffer with.

A7RII and A7sII both have an option to set one of the custom buttons to EVF/Monitor Toggle.

Apparently the only solution is an

entirely new camera and lenses.

This is something so basic you would think a software update could address it. There is no downside.
