View previous topic :: View next topic

I can't increase ths image size to focus it better.

I use the sony in manual focus mode.

Feel so stupid, but read and read the manual and try modes in the cam, but can't find the appropriate way to do that.

Can somebody help me, please?

There should be a zoom button somewhere. It will not auto zoom with a manual lens.

Thank you, Gerald, very much. In the tutorial, the sony has AF lens, I use MF lenses, by now at least.

I was using Manual focus rather than AF-S on an a7III and if I changed focus it would magniy by x5 and the shutter button revealed the whole image again. So where you using M on the control dial which is manual settings. I think menu - spanner : 2 is where Focus settings are.

Yes, Visualopsins, thank you.

I'm looking for have a direct access to this function directly by one button, quicly.

But with manual focus lenses, it seems not possible to my.

Shall I have to switch to AF lenses?

A7RII by default assigns Focus Magnification function to the C2 button. Maybe A7RIII same?

Thank Visualopsins

In A7RIII is focus areas by default but Focus Magnification is not among the options to select.

I read you need to assign a custom button to the Focus Magnifier function first, but I don't have a Sony A7r III to confirm.

Yes Gerald. And thank you.
In the film the Sony has an AF lens, so the Menu is different to the one with MF.

In menu 2, penultimate set, open Custom Key, select required button and scroll to chose option.
