When a full frame DSLR camera 'shifts gears' into crop frame mode, how does the through the lens view finder show the reduced - cropped - field of view?
Thanks
Edit: I realize that the smaller image circle would show with the FF area vignetted.

On the D810, there are two ways it will appear in the view finder. A boxed outline showing the size of the image or the area outside the boxed area is greyed out to help visualize what you see.

Is there a crop mode on Canon Full Frame DSLR? Please inform me as I don't know about the Canon. On Nikon FX camera which can use the DX lenses and when these lenses are attached they switch into the crop mode that show only the area covers by the DX lenses.
You can also override the crop so you can use DX lenses. Some, like the 35F1.8 and the 10.5 fisheye will cover FX with only a tiny loss in the extreme corners. The 10.5 must have it's integrated lens shade removed, but once you do, it's pretty awesome on FX.

I don't quite understand the question. If I put an aps-c lens on my FF A7Rii, the viewfinder will show the same image as if mounted on a aps-c A6000. No outline, vignette or black-out area. Don't DSLR's do the same?
DSLR's cant do the same. That is the advantage of the EVF you can make it to display anything you want.

For the Nikon D850, if you're using a full-frame (FX) lens and choose to take cropped (DX) photos you control what you see in the optical viewfinder via the Photo Shooting Menu > Image area > Viewfinder mask display > On/Off. If on, the cropped (DX) image will be at full brightness. The surrounding full (FX) image will be still visible but darkened gray. If Off, only the DX image is visible.
