Can I adjust the X-T20 eye sensor distance for EVF/LCD switching?

On my Fujifilm X-T20, the camera switches from the rear LCD to the EVF when something comes within about 3 inches of the eyepiece. This is a problem when I use the tilted LCD as a waist-level finder, because my body or hand can trigger the eye sensor.
Is there any menu setting or customization that lets me change how close something must be before the camera switches to the EVF?

There is no such user-accessible setting, I'm afraid. This goes for higher-end models as well.
It's possible that this can be adjusted at the factory — it's worth asking Fujifilm if they can do that.
I can see how you find this annoying, but consider that the more aggressive switch means the scene is ready in the EVF without waiting once your eye is closer.

No—there is no user-accessible setting on the Fujifilm X-T20 to adjust the eye sensor’s trigger distance for switching between the LCD and EVF. According to community experience, this also applies to higher-end Fujifilm models.
If you want to change that behavior, your only possible option would be to ask Fujifilm support whether it can be recalibrated in service, but it is not something you can set in the camera menus yourself.
The relatively sensitive trigger point is likely intentional so the EVF is already active by the time you bring the camera fully to your eye.
