Custom function/memory setting

[Jollybox]

Apologies in advance if question has been raised and answered (if you could point me in that direction I would appreciate it).. but I have my own version

A7-RII. I would like to 'save' a set of camera settings for Astro pics (Milky Way) (manual focus, WB, aperture, ISO, shutter, shutter delay.. and any other you can recommend) to a 'custom-function" button say number 1 or 2 on the Mode dial or somewhere else. In my mind I'd like to think - oh yes I have a clear night, new moon etc. but can't remember the full suite of settings/menus etc. If I just turn the Mode dial to 1 or 2 it will set me up for basic success - I can walk the ISO/shutter up and down to get the best results from the basic memory settings.. I am very new to this whole mirrorless way and the camera manual is a whole new learning curve for this analogue dinosaur but VERY exciting.. An absolute bonus would be some basic advice on settings from the experience of the forum (for example I found out very recently that I can 'zoom' in on the screen and focus on specific points! Beats the snot out of a loupe and poor reading glasses I'd still need the readers tho...
Many thanks in advance

So this probably works the same way on the Rii as it does on the other cameras.
Steps:
1) Go to the M
2) Make all settings that you want to be the default
3) In the menu go to "Memory" and select the 1 or 2 you want to assign all those setting to

I know in later cameras this also saves all the custom button and FN menu options but not sure about the Rii.

Thanks very much Tried that and it works - more importantly is that I understand how to do it now

I have a Memory setting for Milky Way shots. Are you taking multiple images and stacking them?
