Why and How to Use My Menu on the Sony A1

WHY You Should Use My Menu

[Clip 2 – Problem Setup] “If you’re like me, you sometimes forget the exact path to certain settings. Sony’s menu is deep, and some features are buried three or four layers down. My Menu solves that instantly.”

[Clip 3 – Benefits] “With My Menu, you can put all your important functions in one place. No scrolling. No hunting. No remembering paths. Just press Menu, and everything you need is right there.”

[Clip 4 – Examples] “For example, I put these in My Menu:

  • Format
  • File Recovery
  • Touch Operation
  • APS‑C Mode
  • Zebra
  • Peaking
  • FTP Transfer
  • Shutter Type
  • Drive Mode
  • Recall Custom Hold This turns the A1 into my own customized camera OS.”

HOW to Set Up My Menu

[Clip 5 – Step-by-step] “Here’s how to set it up.”

  1. Press Menu
  2. Go to the My Menu tab
  3. Select Add Item
  4. Navigate to the feature you want
  5. Press Add
  6. Repeat for all your favorite settings

[Clip 6 – Organizing] “You can also sort items, delete items, or create multiple pages. I recommend putting your most-used items on Page 1.”

Why This Is Better Than Custom Keys or Fn Menu

[Clip 7 – Comparison] “Custom Keys and the Fn Menu are great, but they have limits. Some features — like Format — cannot be assigned to a button or the Fn menu. But My Menu can hold everything. It’s the most flexible and complete shortcut system on the A1.”
