p.1 #1Any way to get the liveview on a A7IV

to show the image in the selected picture style before you take the shot? My A7RIVA bodies do it. Heck my ancient Canon 5Dm3 did it. I specifically want to show BW style. I just can't figure out how the get the A7IV to do it.

TIA

Just searched sony's a7IV guide "Liveview" not found. Don't think it would have another name!

Hey Guy, navigate to the Live View Display setting in the menu and make sure it is turned on, then choose B&W from the Creative Style menu.

Try going to the Camera icon for Shooting -> Shooting Display -> Live View Display Set.

Thanks Ross! It was the Live View Display setting. Made that adjustment and I have what I want.

I know I'm an outlier on this but I still like the A7RIVA menu a lot more. Perhaps I'll grow into it...

I really appreciate your help!
