Sony A7R V Standard magnification

[moolgavkar]

What is the standard magnification on playback of still images on the Sony A7rv? That is, when a still image is viewed and the magnify button is pushed what is the standard magnification? Is the image being viewed at 100%? It appears to be a much higher magnification. Can the initial magnification be reset to 100%?

I would appreciate any insights.

Go to the Playback menu, Magnification, Initial Magnification:

ILCE-7RM5 | Help Guide | Enlarge Initial Mag.

If you enlarge an image to 100%, then future displays can be at the same magnification if you set this to Previous Magnification.

Thank you, but I am still confused. The magnification options offered in the menu are 'standard' or 'previous'. Does standard mean 100%? If not, how do you set magnification for 100%? Moreover, because the LCD screen and the viewfinder have different resolutions, how can the magnification be 100% on both?

I think standard is 100%, I don't like looking at images at 100% and tend to look at them at about 50%. With most modern cameras the resolution is such that if its good at 50% it will print well at A3

Thank you, Iain. I think that is correct insofar as the LCD screen on the back is concerned. However, because the viewfinder has much higher resolution (~9 mp vs. ~2 mp), the initial magnification cannot be the same on both. I believe it is about 450% in the viewfinder.

Let me know what you think.
