p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A7r - getting C3 to perform like C1 for critical focus


If you're a NEX user that depends on magnification for critical focus you probably keep hitting the 'delete' button (C3) when trying to bring up magnification for critical focus.

The good news is that the C3 button can be assigned to the same purpose as the C1 button which is by default "focus settings".

The C2 as well and it works. However, the C3 (trash) only goes into 1X mode and further presses won't advance the magnification. Turning the C2 and C1 to other functions doesn't relieve this.

Anyone else seeing this ?

This might be better off in the Setup thread, where it won't get lost as soon as the discussion ends.

I have the same behaviour on my A7--you get the orange box, but more presses don't zoom in. You can, however, use the button in the middle of the control wheel to zoom in, but then you have to move your thumb, so yes, it doesn't operate in the same way.

(I also tried setting C3 to "focus magnifier" with the same result).

What about zooming in when reviewing images - I found it in the menu but haven't seen a way to get it to the wheel like the NEX7.
