Hey Gang,
one of my bigger complaints from the M3 was that in manual focus, if I had magnify and then focus, to get out of magnify, It seemed Id have to hit the magnify button two more times for it to go from 5x to 10X then to 1x... And when using the EVF, I'd have to hold the camera two handed and have my right thumb, that was holding the camera, then basically lift it off the grip and hit the magnify button two more times... adding a lot of shake and fumbling to find that zit sized button.
I discovered another workflow that helps some of this. When in MF, I still have to dislocate my thumb to hit magnify, but I can use the back rotary button to zoom to 5x, 10x, then back to 1x... much faster and easier to hit than the clitoris that canon put just under the thumb rest for, I don't know, the most used feature in focusing!!! Meanwhile the Multi-F button just sits there with every programmable ability except magnify. This is borderline cruel!
Lastly, this discovery goes in tandem with the ability to use the D-pad to reposition the magnify area.
I hope this helps other peeps!
