5D MarkII viewfinder brightness adjustment?

[Frank Kolwicz]

Is it possible to increase the brightness of the data in the viewfinder? I have a cataract that causes a lot of glare that obscures the data with bright images and there's no way to get full exposure data on the back panel LCD that I can find (unlike my much more usable XTi).

No.

The manual tells you how to turn on this:

I am not sure what else shall be shown, I find this screen show anything one might want. Besides the current MLU status, of course
