Sony a7c: My menu and Fn settings

Updated 2025-05-23

The main menu (called by pressing the Menu button) of the Sony a7c camera is quite difficult to understand and use. There are illogical organization and terms that are not always clear.

But this problem is solved by setting up the "My Menu" section of the main menu and the menu called by the Fn button. This is very convenient.

I use four of my menus in total:

1. General

Cleaning Mode
Format - It is easier to format the SD card than to remove all media using the main menu.
APS-C/Super 35mm
Face/Eye AF Set.
Live View Display - Setting Effect ON/OFF

2. Connectivity

Airplane Mode - It is faster to control the airplane mode than to toggle FTP transfer state directly.
FTP Transfer Func.
Bluetooth Settings - To use with the Bluetooth remote control.
Ctrl w/ Smartphone - Control with the mobile application (I don't use it now)

3. Display

Peaking Setting
Zebra Setting
Monitor Brightness
Display Quality
Viewfinder Bright.
Photo: Finder Frame Rate


4. Video

Video: File Format
Video: Record Setting
NTSC/PAL Selector - To switch between 60/30/24 and 50/25 fps
Volume Settings
Gamma Disp. Assist - Useful when using a Picture Profile
Video: USB Streaming


And my Function (Fn) Menu settings:

1. Photo

Drive Mode
Focus Mode
Focus Area
Subject Detection
ISO
Metering Mode

White Balance
ISO Auto Min. Shutter Speed
SteadyShot Focal Length
SteadyShot
Photo: Silent Shooting
Shoot Mode


2. Video

Audio Record Level
(as Photo) Focus Mode
(as Photo) Focus Area
Picture Profile - it is a powerful tool to control Gamma and Color Mode for video recoding.
(as Photo) ISO
(as Photo) Metering Mode

(as Photo) White Balance
Steady Shot Adjust
(as Photo) SteadyShot Focal Length
(as Photo) SteadyShot
Touch Operation

I also defined the Fn button to start FTP transfer in the view mode.
