Hi,
I got a Nikon Z 8 mirrorless camera and testing now a Sony 7RV, but a bit confused about the handling. Sorry, I’m not so used to Sony yet, like with my Nikons.
I'm wondering if I can use the magnifier while shooting in AF-C mode to zoom in a picture to check if it's all sharp. This works easy with Nikon with two dedicated magnifying buttons to zoom in and out for playback and while shooting. I use this function often at events / concerts on a big tele lens to see if my motive is 1000% sharp. That‘s the big plus on miirorless cameras with a EVF.
On my Sony 7RV I have these functions only for playback combined the AF-ON and AEL buttons.
I have set the "Focus Magnifier" as Custom Key on Rear2 on Button 2 (the middle of the wheel), but it's deactivated in AF-C.

It works in video mode, but it seems like "Focus Magnifier in AF-C" doens't work in photo mode… Does it?
