Maybe anyone of the manual glass shooters with an A7Rii could give me advice?
Which key do you use for focus magnifier? I used to have it on C1 even on The A7R and S but figured out i would be ways faster when i could assign it to C4. This way i can leave the index finger on the shutterbutton and the thumb to magnify. But it seems that it works on all custom buttons except on C4. As soon as i click it, the box to indicate the area to zoom in appears but a second click will not finally zoom in to that spot. When i click the main button it zooms but the idea was to be faster, and changing the buttons while shooting seems like im walking a circle.
Can someone confirm me that this doesnt work like on the other custom buttons?
I use C2. My finger finds C2 the easiest to find as it can push up against the main dial, which I never use, as a reference point and C2 is then right there.
I use 2 quick clicks to get maximum magnification, adjust the focus, and then immediately take the picture.
Hockey and wedding photographer. Favourite camera / lens combos: a 1DX II with a Tamron 45 1.8 VC, an A7Rii with a Canon 24-70F2.8L II, and a 5DSR with a Tamron 85 1.8 VC. Every lens I own I strongly recommend [Canon (35Lii, 100L Macro, 24-70F2.8ii, 70-200F2.8ii, 100-400Lii), Tamron (45 1.8, 85 1.8), Sigma 24-105]. If there are better lenses out there let me know because I haven't found them.
