Hi everyone,

It's been said a lot but man I wish super 35 mode could be assigned to a button or the quick access menu. I have so many super 35 photos taken with full-frame glass after leaving it in super 35 after a video. Anyway, I read a post about leaving super 35 in auto, and it might automatically do what I want.

If Super 35 is set to auto - if I have a full frame E-mount lens will it be in full-frame for photo and then super 35 for video? And if there is an apsc lens attached will it just always be super 35 for photo and video? Just trying to work out if there is some predictability to what it chooses.

Thanks
 
Luke, assign one of the memory presets on the mode dial (say, 2) for your video setup in Super35. There, you can assign all your video particulars...color space, ISO, Picture Profile, etc. You can then leave the A7RII in FF mode for still photography, and simply turn the dial to "2" for your video setup.
 
Hey David, this is the first thing I tried when I got my A7Rii and it doesn't work. The s35 option is not stored by the memory feature.

Dan from Newsshooter.com just did an interview with a Sony guy regarding the just announced A99.
He claims that they have listened to customers about the god awful menu system and have made s35 assignable to a shortcut button.

Hopefully that will cross over into a firmware update for the A7RII, because it would suck if they "listened to customers" but then just ignore all those customers and implement that feature ONLY into this totally different A mount system :\
 
The a99 II can put APS-C mode on the quick menu. With Sony being Sony, this took three years of complaining and I don't think it's coming to old models via firmware.
 
Well at least they have addressed it in the a99 II. Still does anybody know if there is predictability to what the camera selects when in AUTO?
 
Luke, all my glass is FF Canon (some L, some non-L, some Tamron EF mount) and I shoot with a metabones IV adapter. I have my menu set to auto-select FF and APS-C, and it always selects FF in still. The only time it kicks over to crop-mode is when I select my user-defined video mode.

You are correct. If you leave it in AUTO it will always go to Super 35mm for video and FF for photography.
