LCD turns off review, when shaded with hand

When reviewing images on the LCD in bright light, i have to shade the LCD with my hand. That turns the LCD off, which is silly. Ok, i get it, the eye sensor switches between EVF and LCD. But how can i review an image in bright light, shade it, and keep the stupid LCD on?

i guess we need an option to turn the eye sensor off in review mode. I do still chimp, anyone does not? =)

How to you think of this?

You can set the view mode for chimping separately. On my X-T2 I use eye sensor mode for taking pictures but LCD only for image review. The playback button on the X-T2 is too close to the eye sensor. You need to take the camera from your eye to press the play button, so you are going to be using the LCD in any case. If you set the view mode for playback to LCD only, it won't trigger the eye sensor.

 

That isn't a problem for my X-Pro2 where the play button is easily reachable with the right thumb while the camera is at the eye. On the X-Pro2 I use eye sensor mode for playback as well, this allows for stealthy chimping (but only with the X-Pro2 and not the X-T2). This is why I bought both bodies, they each have their strengths and weaknesses.
