This is nothing new. With view/field cameras, not only do you have to hold
them away from your body, you need a large dark cloth.
Even medium format cameras requires you to hold them away when using a waist
level finder.

I would hope you're not holding that view camera with your hands while
trying to take a picture.

And when I used the Hasselblads for years, it was held close to me so
that I could get my eyeball on the magnifier.
