One thing that I like quite a bit about my transition from Nikon to Canon is the button layout. Being able to change the ISO with my right hand while shooting a long lens is very nice. I had a workaround with Nikon, but it's not as seamless.
Well, as I was playing around with my new 5D3, I found that I really wanted to find a way to be able to review and zoom in/out of images with only my right hand (As my left will be used to support the lens). This would allow for a fast transition between reviewing images (for critical sharpness) and getting back to shooting.
I found a way that allows you to press the SET button and it will take you directly into the imager review + zoom. That's two buttons on the left side that is replaced by one on the right! Here goes: In the Custom Controls, assign the SET button to "Mag/Reduce". That's it!
You may have already known that, but if you didn't I hope it helps. If you've got any settings up your sleeve, please feel free to share. Now it's time to go back and figure out all of the AF settings!
