Im thinking of setting up my Memory Recal Options as follows:
M1: shooting portraits or moving subjects
- AF-C, Lock on flex spot AF point, aperture priority, min shutter 250, EFCS, AWB, continuous drive, face detect, face spot metering, compressed RAW
M2: tripod use
- AF-S, Flex spot AF point, Manual (ISO=100), steady shot off, 5 second timer, Silent shutter, multi metering, uncompressed RAW
M3: TAP with 50 f/1.1 (shooting wide open)
- AF-S, Flex spot AF, Aperture priority, steady shot = 50mm, mechanical shutter, AWB, face detect, face spot metering, compressed RAW
Then my normal settings will be for walk around shooting:
- AF-S, Flex spot AF point, Aperture priority, steady shot on, multi metering, compressed RAW
Custom buttons...
On my A7RII, I had C1 and C2 set for focus area point settings and focus mode respectively, and I rarely change these. I may keep the AF point type assigned to one of those buttons as sometimes shooting moving subjects I change the AF point type depending on the subject and surroundings. So C1 will be used for that.
I think other things I might want to toggle quickly when shooting would be:
- metering mode between multi, and spot based on focus point. The latter is a huge new feature in my opinion. Maybe use wheel down for this or AEL?
- AF/MF toggle which i use as a focus hold type feature since most of my primes don’t have a button on the barrel for this and I find toggling AF to MF more versatile than focus hold. Maybe use C2 for this to keep both front buttons related to focus settings.
- EYE-AF. Probably makes sense to use the AF-On button for this. I may also try the joystick or wheel press for this. Not sure now... too many options
I’m not sure what I will assign the AEL button to. I never need exposure lock separate from the shutter. ?
I can’t think of anything else. Other stuff like shutter mode can go in the Fn menu.
For playback, chimping and zooming to check focus is key...
I’d like to use the Center of the wheel to zoom in on playback. I’m also hoping the joystick can navigate through photos in playback mode when zoomed in.
