Ray,
I am not sure if this will work since I do not have camera but I know there is Marker setting for VF. You can set that to A, B or OFF. Check what setting you have in VF Menu and then go and press MARKER button on camera to get same corresponding letter in viewfinder. This way viewfinder will behave same way you set it in menu for that table.
Also, there is another setting called VF DISPLAY 1,2,3. Check that too.
I did not play with camera for few weeks now and I forget but those are menus that could affect your viewfinder display settings.
Hopefully all will work. Good luck,
Mariusz
