Many thanks for the information, would be so nice to find a way to keep the display turned off while shooting. In my dreams I imagine taking pictures with a fixed lens like the 22mm and an optical viewfinder without any annoying display response, in an almost Leica like photographic approach, just shooting...from my perspective, even you loose some controls, this feature might transform the EOSM in a more versatile tool.

Hi everybody,

I'm very newbie, sorry if disturbing with shallow issues, maybe you'll help me decide to buy a EOSM camera.

Is any chance to set EOSM with ML loaded to shoot with display turned off?
It seems you cannot do this with its original firmware.

I wish I use EOSM  as a discrete package with 22mm (35mm equiv) lens plus a hot shoe old style 35 mm  optical viewfinder.

When playing with  the camera in a showroom, couldn't find a way to shoot in PASM modes with display turned off.
Turning off the display from a custom set button and continuing to shoot with the camera would be a very nice "pro" option,
saving battery and nerves while using fixed lens and the appropriate optical viewfinder.

Many thanks for your attention! All the best with your great ML projects!
