deekay Posted May 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have LCD/EVF set to Auto. The Visoflex is quick to recognize my eye and switch on but it doesn't switch back to the LCD after putting the camera down and well away from any eye. Not sure if I need to change some other setting or push some other button. Not great functionality if not... Appreciate any suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted May 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 1, 2022 You may wish to check that the User profile in which EVF/LCD is set to Auto is Active. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted May 1, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 1, 2022 I can't speak for the M11 Viso, but on other Leicas, the eye sensor gets dirty - a quick wipe with a tissue solves the problem. On those cameras the sensor is in a little cutout in the rim of the viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deekay Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted May 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I can't get it to work. I have updated the firmware and reset the camera. The V becomes actively quickly when my eye goes to it but it takes about 15-20 seconds for the LCD to become active after reverting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 1, 2022 Share #8 Posted May 1, 2022 Did you try to clean the contacts on the Visoflex and the hot shoe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have now cleaned the contacts and it is better than it was (thanks) but it is still not as quick to revert to the LCD than it is switching to the EVF. The camera and V are brand new. Maybe I will another clean with some alcohol this time; at the end of all of this, I may need to drink some too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted May 2, 2022 Share #10 Posted May 2, 2022 Yes, I would say clean contacts as it seems the camera doesn't register that the EVF is on (if the EVF is not pushed into the contacts, that is the result also). Could also be the EVF you got has contacts not mounted precisely enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 2, 2022 Share #11 Posted May 2, 2022 These eye sensors are generic electronic parts and not infallible. If you cannot get it to work properly contact your dealer to try another example 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
