One downside to the EVF is that when shooting in manual mode stopped down in a dark scene, you loose the ability to see your subject in the EVF or on the LCD.
This situation is rectified when popping the built-in flash as there is a small mechanical switch in the flash housing that when released, tells the camera to "gain-up" the screens.
Problem is, when using the FA-HS1AM hotshoe adapter (the only one that works for me) with a wireless trigger, the flash cannot be released out of the housing. BUT, I found that with a little upwards gentle pressure on the left rear of the flash you can get it to move up and stick far enough so that the switch is released and the screens gain-up. And since, the flash is still pointed down in the housing, you don't need to cover it up.
This will work for me but If anyone knows of another less kludgy solution, please let us know. Really wish Sony would make this a menu option.
Thanks,
Chad
Disregard - per posts from Mazor and Doug, I'm a dumb#$% and should have read the manual. Turning off Live View Display setting effect does the trick. Thanks guys...
