Re: R10 / 7 / 3 OVF assist feature

My standard setup is the R7 with the RF 100–400mm telephoto. I have the OVF Sim assigned to a button where it toggles on and off. This allows me to “brighten” a scene which is dark in the viewfinder without changing exposure settings. This can be very helpful for judging composition and focus point location, and is very welcome when I am simply using the camera and lens as a telescope. BTW, the view this gives me toggled on does appear to be identical to the result I would obtain with a standard HDR shot. Useful, but I would not set it on full-time in the menus.
