Eye Sensor won't switch to LCD from EVF

I was hoping someone may have an idea before I try to reset the camera.

 

I have always used the Eye Sensor setting and it has worked without issue.

 

This Christmas I switched to just LCD because I let me wife and mother-in-law take a few pictures. I noticed that the flash stuck (before I handed it to them to use) and would not flip up by itself. I needed to put my fingernail in the gap to help it open. Coincidentally, when I switched it back to Eye Sensor mode, the camera no longer switches to the LCD. It stays on Eye Sensor. Also, EVF + Eye Sensor does not seem to turn off the EVF. I can see into it when I hold it at arms length.

 

Is there an issue with my camera? I keep it in an ONA bag when not in use and I don't remember it hitting anything and definitely not falling.

 

I have tried cleaning the sensor, but that did nothing.

 

BTW, the LCD works fine if I turn it to that setting.

 

Thanks,

 

-Lou

Check the shooting mode dial. EVF+Eye Sensor only works in S, CL, CH, BKT1, and BKT2 modes. In ADV1, ADV2, Multiple-exposure, and Panorama modes it leaves the EVF on.

 

No, I have no clue why that is.

 

However, normal Eye Sensor mode should switch between EVF and LCD in all shooting modes.

Hi, Hakeem.

 

I successfully sent in the body for warranty work.

 

I don't have the work order in front of me, but I remember that they replaced the entire top portion of the camera. I had it back in less than 2 weeks. Maybe 10 days or so.

 

Camera has been working fine ever since.

 

Thanks!

I borrowed a TX-3 from my brother and I couldn't get the LCD screen to work.  He kinda just said "oh that...yeah I don't know whats wrong with that.  I took a good hard look at the thing and realized the little sensor at the bottom of the view finder that the cam uses to tell when your face is there against the camera was packed with dust!  When I dug it out with a Q-tip the display fired right up.  My brother owes me a beer now.

I had this same issue and tried to insert a thin transparent film between the glass and eyecup, but no luck.

..but blowing compressed air from a can worked. There was no visible dust/dirt in front of the sensor, but maybe there was some dirt between the glass and the eyecup that got blown away.. who knows, but now it works.

omg thanks Archiebald, i cleaned with alcohol and water and whatever i could get my hands on, the glass was super clean but it still did not work. now i blowed on it and voila it works again!! I can not believe it, there really has to be a problem with dirt somewhere between the parts. thanks a bunch.

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
