Save Super 35mm Mode on Memory Recall for A7RII?


Recommended Posts

This topic has most likely been discussed, but is there a way to have Super35mm mode enabled for one of my memory recall and disabled for my other? I would like to have M1 set up for photography and M2 set up for 4K video. Thanks!

As was already mentioned I don't think M1/M2 will store S35 mode. This is a major headache for many of us shooting video. Like you I toggle in and out of S35 mode very frequently.

 

I have no idea what Sony was thinking. S35 mode produces better video quality, much better low light video and is a flawless 1.5x tele-converter. Yet we often don't want that for still mode because we want the full 42 megapixels and the FF framing with our lenses. Result is we switch back and forth all the time, each time requiring walking into the menus. It is one of the poorest UI decisions I've seen in a long time.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
