Sony A7iii - unable to disable MF assist

[stevoz]

Hey guys!

My first post here - I tried to do a search to see if anyone else had this problem before, seems like I'm the only unfortunate one for now...

So I left my A7iii aside for a few days, and today when I turn it on and try to take picture, all of a sudden I got a zoom out of a fixed lens (Canon ET-73 100mm)!  I checked the settings under "Focus Assist", and "MF Assist" was definitely "Off".

I'm attaching a video of the issue in case anyone wants to take a look.  Thank you so much!!

Cheers,

Stevoz

I use a a7rIII so the following may not be entirely accurate but check your menu (Quality/Image Size 1, page 1/14 on my camera) and make sure "APS-C/Super 35mm" is OFF. This setting is used mimic a APS-C sized sensor on a full frame sensor camera thus creating a zoom effect.

Thanks so much for the tip, Bokehbobo!!  I've changed it from "automatic" to "off" now, but unfortunately the issue is still unresolved...

I don't know what settings you have set in your camera or how big a pain in the butt it would be to re input all of it but have you considered a factory reset for the camera? Just throwing out a possibility.
