DOF preview and Focus Magnifier view (A77)

Hi again,

Another question about how to use the A77.....

I can't get DOF preview to activate at the same time as Focus Magnifier view. If I'm magnified already then press the DOF preview button, the focus magnifier is cancelled. If I press and hold the DOF preview button then press try to activate focus magnifier, the button doesn't do anything.

It would be nice if I could focus magnifiy my stopped down lens as I own one or two that shift focus a bit backwards when stopped down.

I've tried with the setting for DOF Preview on "Shot Result" and "Aperture Preview" but both with the same effect.

I can't think of anyway of getting DOF preview at the same time as Focus Magnifier. Am I missing something somewhere?

Cheers
