EOS R5 Mark II How to change live view magnification from 6X to 3X

Is there a way to change default setting of 6X in life view magnification to 3X. 6X is always too big for my liking. Thank you for any solutions.

Welcome to the Canon Community.

I am uncertain as to what setting(s) you are referring to from your brief description. Are you referring to these manual focusing settings?  If so, then I believe that they are fixed.

I checked and I don't see a setting that drives the magnification used in live view.

Thank you Waddizzle. I was referring to the second highlighted setting in point 3. You see there are 6X, 15X, 1X and I would prefer something of a sort 3X, 10X and 1X. I shoot primarily with rf 800mm f5.6 and rf 600mm f4 and 3X or 4X would be ideal when I check for focus on a perched bird or a nest.

 

Thank you Ricky. It's a shame that end user doesn't have a control of this setting especially in digital era. I guess one less code that software engineers  need to worry about...
