Thought it maybe a nice idea to talk about this. Obviously you can setup anyway you would like. I have a couple slight tricks that maybe useful or not. One thing I do is stay on manual focus but the ability to AF with the back push button.
So here is what i have setup at least for now.
C1 Focus Magnify
C2 Focus Mode
C3 Focus area
C4 Grid line
Dial down button Peaking Level
Center button Silent shooting
AEL Button Ael hold
AF/MF AF/MF Control hold
to me this FN is my life blood. I always use it, keeps me out of the menu's
Function setting
Top row left to right
Focus Mode
Focus area
ISO
Color balance
Face detect. I may change this
Center Lock AF
Bottom row left to right
Steady shot ON/OFF switch
Silent Shooting
Steady shot focal length. I only have one non Sony lens
Grid line
Peaking level
Peaking Color
Some things are duplicated between Custom and function
Dial Button
Left Drive speed
Disp Top is for the display options
Right is ISO with Dial rotation to set
Down dial I have set for focus peaking level
Just spinning the dial I have it not set. I run into issues if this is set to something because I wind up hitting it and throwing something off. So its off
Im still playing a little mostly with function buttons
