Greetings,

First make sure something isn't covering the sensor near the EVF.

Without knowing what you changed, try pressing (cycling) the info button.

It might be worth checking out the status of the INFO button by pressing it a few times to see if you inadvertently set the display to not display.

cheers, TREVOR

Appears the OP has solved the issue. A separate thread was started with the solution.

Good catch sir. 😀

I've been using my mobile and didn't notice the same username.
