You should be able to turn the rear LCD back on by toggling through the display settings using the button the side of the viewfinder housing.
I wish it was that easy. Using that button does nothing and I didn't set the viewfinder to 'only' so there is no menu to see in the viewfinder.r Literally the only button that works is the shutter (well, maybe the others do but I can't see anything) .
Unfortunately the Nikon Z7 II does not include a two button reset the way the DSLRs did. There may be some unadvertised combo of buttons that Nikon Service could help you with but unlike their DSLRs there isn't a simple two button reset.
That's very odd, I've never set any of my Nikon mirrorless cameras to Viewfinder Only but have no problem viewing the menus through the viewfinder. Something is very strange if the menus can't be viewed through the EVF as that's something I do all the time. So if you're viewing the scene through the EVF and while continuing to hold the camera up to your eye you hit the Menu button everything goes dark?
YUP! Just remove the rubber eye cup (a firm push up) and blow/wipe out the sensor.
All is solved. When I had my eye to the viewfinder and pushed Menu, then lo and behold the menu appeared in the viewfinder. The problem was in experimenting, I had selected viewfinder only, and didn't realize the menu appeared there. Well I certainly know what viewfinder only does now, lol.
