A7R: Show focus area rectangle in viewfinder using manual focus.

[kimaldis]

I have an A7R set up with manual focus, using the af/mf/ael button set to af/mf for focus rather than touch on the focus button. I also have focus set to flexible spot. I'm trying to figure a way for the focus area rectangle to be permantly showing - as in, say, DMF focus - so I can see where I'm focusing. At the moment it only shows when the back button is pressed and focus starts.

 

The main objective is to be able to use the af/mf/ael switch to switch between back button and one touch hold focus. If there's another way to achieve that but I'd still really like to be able to see my focus rectangle.

 

Any thoughts?
