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. |

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

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

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