Sony a7c: My custom key settings

On the Sony a7c, I first map the down button to invoke the magnification of the focus area (needed to work with my non-electronic lenses). But this button is not handy to press.

Since the a7c has only a few buttons (and "Custom" is assigned by me to lock the exposure), I decided to compromise with the video recording button. I always switch to video mode, I never start video recording from photo mode.

So I assigned the focus magnifier to the video/movie button:

In video mode it is similar (inheritance behavior):

But to start recording in video mode with the main shutter button, you need another setting:

I also use ftp transfer a lot. It is available in my user menu. But even more convenient is the assignment of Fn in view mode:

After that, the button mapping of the Sony a7c is fine with me.
