ymc226 Posted September 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 18, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just got another SL and i cannot get the EVF to turn on by pressing the button next to the viewfinder. I looked through the menus but don’t see how I can turn it on. Am I missing something very basic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted September 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 18, 2018 Do any of the 3 modes activated by the button press (EVF only, LCD only, or auto eye detect) work? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymc226 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted September 18, 2018 Pressing the button cycles through the back screen which works, pressing again does nothing (the screen stays on), the 3rd press then turns off the screen but the EVF remains dark. My original SL cycles normally. Also covering the sensor on the top of the viewfinder ring with my finger turns on the EVF and turns off the back screen on my original SL. Doing this on my new SL does nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted September 18, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 18, 2018 I’ve only briefly demoed the SL. In the setup menu, there is a live view setting as I recall. Does this have any relevant effect? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted September 18, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 18, 2018 Irrespective of the menu settings (as far as I can tell), you should be able to toggle between the back screen only, the back screen and EVF dependent on whether the view finder is used, and the EVF only. Looks like there is a problem with your new SL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 18, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 18, 2018 Try cleaning the eye sensor window. If that doesn't help, return the camera for an exchange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
