Sony a6500 periscope ?

[Antonio Correia]

My wife uses a Sony a6500 and she has a problem she would like to be solved.
As she uses the left eye, her nose is frequently touching the screen causing the change of parameters what is very upsetting.
I Googled but could not find any acceptable solution.
Any suggestion, if you please ?
Thank you !

There are some options for the touchscreen.

And this shows a handy way to temporarily lock settings.

Tried Minolta's Angle finder Vn on my A6500 (Same as Sony FDA-A1AM but unfortunately it does not fit ( Fits A7r and A7II though)

To your advice, I also add pad settings

Bob, Michel and Tino, thank you so much for your replies !
I called "periscope" as I remembered the one I used on a Pentax back in the seventies.
But I am almost sure that this solution is not suitable for my wife because it is something else to take care of... cumbersome piece. And I do agree !
I have not yet opened your links but I have thought that the touch screen could be locked with a customized button. Practical and easy solution !
Thank you again guys ! You're great !
Cheers ! Take care !

Let me add some colour to the tread.

I have been to all the links provided and I really find them very useful !
Without using this camera the one not so interesting - for me that is - is the Touch Pad Area Setting. But I do not shoot with any 6###...
