Sony A7 - focusing with manual lenses on manual mode in a studio

[merzbow]

Hi,

 

I am having a problem while shooting my Sony A7 in a studio using manual lens on manual program. I set the aperture and exposure time for flash (i.e. ISO100, 1/200s, f/2.0), but obviously the normal light in the room is about 6-7EV lower. This results in the following - I cannot set the focus properly with the normal light as the viewfinder is dark. Do you have any solution for that: i.e. some way to bump ISO just for focusing?

 

Thanks in advance!

Look in your menus for 'Settings Effects' and set it to OFF

Great!

I'd set it back on when you are not in the studio in normal lighting so you see the effects of your settings

You see this is such a good example of just how good internet forums can be. Imagine if you'd tried to get a resolution from a Sony service line! It took you less than 15 minutes to get an answer here!
