X-T2 LCD (and EVF) go black

[maxespaxe]

Hi everyone!

Only just joined in hope someone here might be able to help with this issue I've been having. I recently bought a used X-T2 after having tested a hire-camera before. They both had this issue, so I don't think it's to do with my specific camera.

Anyway, what happens is that I walk around looking for something to shoot and when I do finally find a situation, both the LCD and probably also the EVF (didn't check the first couple of times) are black and only seem to come back on when I tilt the camera downwards. However, if I just move it back up, they go black again unless I quickly focus on something. Power toggle works as well, though the one second needed to start the camera up can sometimes mean I already missed the situation. The tilting bit almost makes it seem like an intentional feature, though I absolutely don't know. Does this sound familiar to anyone or do you maybe know how to avoid / remedy it?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
