For me, this is the single most irritating (mis)feature of the X100T. Not only is it inconsistent with the earlier X100 series cameras (and most others, for that matter), it's also inconsistent with the way the image playback button works, which always defaults to the rear LCD (as you'd expect) even when you are in OVF/EVF mode (it does change to the EVF if you hit the view mode button once the image is already being displayed on the LCD, which is fair enough). If what Fuji Italy claims above is true, surely this would apply equally to chimping? I can understand why fordfanjpn finds the new behaviour useful, but I've seen far more negative than positive comments on other forums, including people who went back to the X100S because of it. I'd really like to see a new menu item in a firmware update that simply gives us a choice of where the menu should default to (if this also covered image replay, it might please stealth shooters as well). If you agree, let Fuji tech support know (they have supposedly forwarded my firmware request to Japan for consideration, so I guess the more requests they receive the better). I don't find the eye control workaround satisfactory, as it's draining the battery of an already power hungry camera for no good reason. For now, I'm just pressing the view mode button once to get the menu on the LCD, and counting three more presses afterwards (which have to be quite slow, or it skips a mode).
