A7s settings and menu questions

Hi,

Just bought the Sony a7s and I'm in need of a little assistance. I've read the manual and googled a lot of stuff but find the menu system and settings a bit complicated. So here's a few questions.

1) Can you choose that the focus magnifier would go straight to x4. Now when I use it to check focus in movie mode I need to press it twice to get it close up on my subject.

2) Is it possible to lock the shutter speed to 1/50th when entering movie mode? Now when I change between photo and movie modes it remembers the shutter speed I was last using so that means I need to always remember to change it back to my PAL land settings of 1/50th.

3) Is there a way to program the display so it will show what settings you want it to show. Like histogram, record time left etc. I can only get the camera to toggle a preset view.

thanks
 
3) This is somewhat customizable. Look under page 2 of the gear menu, and click on DISPLAY twice. You'll be able to select some options.
