Setting the Camera Angle
Sony Alpha 7R*
The main screen of the Status Display shows the camera angle. 0° means the camera is looking straight forward and is levelled
horizontally. -90° means the camera is looking down, 90° means it is looking up.
Push the Rocker-Switch R1 away from you to tilt the camera downwards. Pull the Rocker-Switch R1 towards you to tilt the camera
upwards. The further R1 is pulled, or pushed, the faster is the tilt movement.
When the camera is not at 0°, a single push of button B1 will set it back to 0°. When the camera is at 0°, pushing and holding B1
and simultaneously pushing R1 shortly, will set the camera to -45°; another short push of R1, while holding B1, will set it to -90°.
When pulling R1, while holding B1, the camera can be tilted upwards accordingly in 45° increments.
The Sony Alpha 7R* has two main function dials that can be controlled through the Intel Cockpit Controller:
The default functions of Dial 1 and 2 depend on the selected shooting mode on the camera:
The function of Dial 1 on the Sony A7R can be controlled by R2,
when B2 is in position 1 (LED OFF).
The function of Dial 2 can be controlled by R2, when B2 is in
position 2 (LED ON/Blue) or via the Status Display by pushing
ENT > Camera Options > Dial 2.
The table below shows the default functions of Dial 1 and 2
depending on the selected shooting mode.
