Can the Fujifilm X-T10 keep the rear LCD off except when opening menus?

On the Fujifilm X-T10, I’d like to shoot with the EVF and have the rear LCD stay off during normal shooting, then come on only when I press MENU or Q. This would be similar to using a DSLR’s top LCD for status information while reserving the rear screen for settings.

The display modes include Eye sensor, EVF only, LCD only, and EVF only + eye sensor. In playback, EVF only already behaves close to what I want: images and playback menus appear on the rear LCD, but the EVF takes over if I raise the camera to my eye.

Is there any setting that gives similar behavior while in shooting mode?

So, you can't — there's no option for this. However, if you use the EVF only + eye sensor mode, and then press the DISP button while looking at the rear screen, it will a cycle between:

  • no-distraction live view (only showing the scene)
  • live view with shooting info (aperture, ISO, focus mode, etc., as configured in the settings menu)
  • a black and white screen showing just the shooting info

So, as a work-around, you can use this last mode. It's not off, but I find it less annoying. (The histogram is still live, so I doubt it saves power — oh well.)

Note that if you look through the finder and press DISP, it will change the viewfinder display separately, between "clean" and "info overlay" modes.

No. On the X-T10 there isn’t a setting to keep the rear LCD fully off during shooting and have it wake only for MENU/Q.

The closest workaround is to use EVF only + eye sensor and press DISP while viewing the rear screen. That cycles the rear display through modes including:

  • clean live view
  • live view with shooting info
  • a black-and-white info screen

That last option is the nearest substitute if you want to minimize distraction from the rear display, but it is not the same as turning the LCD off, and it likely won’t save power because some information remains active.

Also, the DISP button controls the EVF display separately when you’re looking through the finder.
