Is finder/monitor set to auto in Camera Settings 2 / Display Auto Review 1?
That setting (which manually selects the LCD, or the Viewfinder or Both) is set to Auto.(Both) 

I have the Auto review switched OFF.... as I don't need to preview each and every image. I prefer to put the camera in playback periodically to review several images at a time. And then the camera switch to Shooting mode with the eye move to the viewfinder.

Apparently what I am wanting isn't possible or not programmed in by Sony. Mirrorless users actually see my perceived negative... as a benefit.
They use the viewfinder to review images, in preference to looking at the back screen ...especially in bright light. Having it switch to Shooting mode as soon as the eye is upto the viewfinder would screw this for them.

They may have a point.

Yes I am trying the A7m3.
Having tried the Fuji mirrorless and the Nikon Z6, I thought I would give Sony a go. There is no doubt the Sony focusing speed is better..but some of their thinking on menus and key functions is a bit bizarre.

Just a gulls dropping in for bread, shot through the window, but happy with initial result....

Those are exceedingly good  (just like Mr Kipling's cakes and mince pies)!
Seems like you have taken to the Sony like a duck to water!

Not suggesting for a moment these are anywhere near worthy aircraft photographs but there was a 'dog fight' between an F15 and a Typhoon over my house. I thought I would test the Sony 200-600 as all the birds had left the garden and the wax had left my ears 😳

There was a little bit of haze about and the sun periodically went behind high cloud messing with exposure. (Excuses, excuses!)

Flighttrader app told me they were at 18,000feet.








Heavy crop.......






The Typhon then shot off up to nearly 20,000feet...





I was happy the resolution in the lens was good. I just need to get exposure right....when my stiff neck loosens up and my hearing recovers. 😳
