Is there anyway to disable the viewfinder if I know I want the live view locked on?</P> Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:28:03 GMT alyssal 2026-03-20T19:28:03Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/R7-How-to-permanently-turn-on-live-screen-over-the-viewfinder/m-p/590435#M141312 <P>When I use my R7 for video, I have my camera strap on and usually hold my arms straight out or pull in, but whenever I pull in and my camera strap goes over the viewfinder my live view screen blacks out and on/off because it thinks I'm putting my eye up to the viewfinder.
