Question for someone with a Sony A7Rii

[The Irish TRex]

Can someone with a Sony A7Rii try this and tell me what happens:

Set one of the Custom Keys to be "Monitor Brightness"
Move top dial so camera is in Video Mode.
Adjust resolution to be XAVCS 4k (at any bit rate and any frame rate), NOT HD.
Press the custom key for monitor brightness

Does it say you can't do that?

For some reason in Photo mode (4k and HD res) or in Video Mode while shooting in HD, I can hit that custom key and monitor brightness will work, but not in Video mode when it's set to 4k. I have no idea why this is the case.

Here's the story:

You cannot adjust brightness while shooting 4K (in shooting 4K you can only have the normal brightness), so:

1. If you are not in Video mode, you can adjust brightness no matter what your video setting. But if your video setting is 4K and you start shooting 4K and you have set the monitor to the bright setting, it will go down to normal (it will dim) while you are shooting.

2. If you are in video mode and you set resolution to be 4K, you cannot adjust the LCD or EVF to bright. It will always be standard and will therefore not dim when you start shooting (4K).
