A7R IVa record button NOT customizable?

[Fredag]

Is the record button NOT customizable? I use my camera to take pictures (no movies) and I can't find a way to program the red record button to some useful function. It's just dead. I think it's time for a firmware update!!!! Come on SONY!!!!!!

Hi @Fredag, the only buttons you can customize are the ones in this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1930/v1/en/contents/TP0002728102.html 

I recommend contacting Sony to consider your feedback in future updates or models. You can contact them using the details in this link: https://services.sony.co.uk/supportMVC/en/Contact/

Hi @MaggieGreene !

Thanks. I have customized my A7RIVa inside and out.... Its just the idea of a "wasted" button that keeps me awake at night....;)

To SONY: "Can we photographers get an update so we can use (customize) the RECORD button in photo-mode for something useful instead of having a "dead" red dot? PLEASE." Send it today. Well....we'll see if they listen.
