EVF lag

Just picked a CL up to replace my Fuji X-E2 for use with M lenses. Smart little camera at first glance. Kudos for the short startup time and well thought image magnification but the EVF lag is painful. Half a second blackout in good light, more than one second in low light. None of my digicams is that slow and my Fuji X-E2 is rocket fast by comparison. I may be missing something though. Would you guys have some tips to reduce that lag? I mean besides disabling auto review which i did in the first place?

Odd: I have just checked, and the black out in a dim room is 'momentary' - certainly not a second, and I wouldn't call it near half a second either.

(Hektor 7.3cm LTM on the CL).

 

For clarity: this isn't what I call lag - I just call it black-out. To my mind, lag is when the EVF view is behind the real view, so you always shoot too late.

 

Edit: I realise I had 1sec Autoreview set. I have disabled it, but the blackout is no longer than before, and liveview returns more quickly (because there's no review). And I don't see a difference between low light (AutoISO 12500) and brighter light (AutoISO 640).

Just did a camera reset and blackouts are negligible now. Curious. Things will stay alike hopefully.

I see a very momentary blackout of a fraction of a second. I don't see there's anything to worry about. If you mean the image in the EVF is delayed from reality then I'm not seeing that either.
