Hi:  On the A7RV in photo (NOT video) mode, is there a way to re-map the video on-off button to perform AF/MF on-off?    That said,  IF I then switch the camera mode dial to MOVIE, I want the function to revert to start-stop a video clip.  I don't want to have to go back into the menus (in video mode) to make the button start-stop a video.  That'd be too inconvenient during a shoot. My C2 button at the top of the camera is already in-use.

There are many scenarios where I toggle from AF to MF and I'd like a custom function easily accessible on the top of the camera.   Some of my lenses don't have a AF/MF switch.


Thanks in-advance for any thoughts!

Hello again:  Well, you can belay my question.  

Somehow I found the correct toggle and better still, when I switch to movie mode the movie button reverts to its default.  Don't have a clue how I found this.  I started taking shots of my screen with iPhone to help remember where the hell I am with the menus for this great camera!

You get to set up the custom buttons for stills shooting, movie shooting, and even image review. There is a separate icon for each, and in the customisation menus, there is a separate section for each. So the switch between stills and movie can change all your custom buttons 🙂

I have, for example, customised the Fn button in image review to add a star rating to my images - I use that button in stills shooting for its original purpose, but in image review it was a convenient way to mark the images I wanted to pay attention to.

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
