If you're shooting from the hip then, by definition, you're not using the EVF. I'm surprised you've had problems in bright sunlight, I can't ever recall the EVF

If you're shooting from the hip then, by definition, you're not using the EVF. I'm surprised you've had problems in bright sunlight, I can't ever recall the EVF being hindered by that (I've spent three years shooting a project with the local ski club with the camera so it's fair to say I've seen plenty of bluebird days).
