5. Shooting: Useful Functions
High-Definition Focus Magnifier
Function
You can magnify the display for the viewfinder
screen or Monitor output.
By pressing the FOCUS MAG button of the
viewfinder (DVF-EL200, DVF-L700) attached
to the unit, or pressing an assignable button
assigned with the VF Focus Magnifier function,
you can expand the center part of the
viewfinder screen, making it is easier to adjust
the focus. By pressing an assignable button
assigned with the Monitor Focus Magnifier
function, you can expand the center part of
the Monitor output image, making it is easier
to adjust the focus.
The magnified display does not affect the
recorded image or other output signals, other
than the Monitor output.
Normal focus magnification reduces the
resolution because it simply magnifies a
part of the displayed image. However, the
two-times (×2) focusing by the unit provides
focus magnification while maintaining the
display resolution by cutting out the portion
to magnify from the 4K image instead of the
recorded image or other output signals, other
than the Monitor output.
Four-times (×4) focus magnification selection
is also supported using the 4K image cutout
function.
The following focus magnification functions
can be assigned to an assignable button
(page 48).
Viewfinder focus magnifier function: VF Focus
Magnifier
Monitor output focus magnifier function:
Monitor Focus Magnifier
The magnification sequence of the FOCUS
MAG button and assignable buttons assigned
with a focus magnification function is set
using the following items.
Viewfinder screen: Monitoring > VF Display >
VF Magnifier Ratio (page 78) in the full
menu
Monitor output: Monitoring > Output Display >
Monitor Magnifier Ratio (page 77) in the
full menu
When VF Magnifier Ratio is set to ×2.0/×4.0,
the magnification sequence each time you
press an assignable button assigned with VF
Focus Magnifier is ×2.0  ×4.0  ×1.0 
×2.0.
Similarly, when Monitor Magnifier Ratio is set
to ×2.0/×4.0, the magnification changes each
time you press an assignable button assigned
with Monitor Focus Magnifier.
[Notes]
• In High Frame Rate mode (shooting frame rate of
61 fps or higher), the ×2/×4 focus display image
resolution decreases because cutout display from a
4K image is not supported.
• When Project Frame Rate is set to 59.94 or 50 and
the Monitor output setting is 1920×1080P, Monitor
Magnifier Ratio cannot be set to ×4.0 or ×2.0/×4.0.
When the Monitor output setting is 1920×1080i,
Monitor Focus Magnifier does not function.
• Monitor Focus Magnifier is also applied to the HDMI
output if the HDMI output has the same output
format as the Monitor output. You can check the
setting using Monitoring > Overlays/Frame Line >
HDMI (page 79) in the full menu. The HDMI output
is the same as the Monitor output if HDMI is set to
"Same as Monitor".
Operation of assignable buttons
assigned with focus magnifier functions
You can set whether an assignable button
assigned with a focus magnifier function
will toggle the function on/off each time the
button is pressed or turn the function on only
while the button is pressed.

luminance, making them easier to see, to
check for blocked-out shadows.
