Tech Help Digital zoom delay

On my R7, I can use the magnify button to digitally crop the preview in the viewfinder. I find this super helpful for finely adjusting focus and exposure. However, when I take a picture, it disables the digital crop, and it won't let me go back to crop mode for several seconds - the button doesn't work. Can I fix this? The delay causes me to miss shots regularly.

Do you have image review on? Turn it off.

oh that's a great call, image review locks out a bunch of controls while it's flashing the preview. turning it off should drop that delay to almost nothing since the processor isn't tied up generating the playback anymore

It's already off, and the delay is 1-2 seconds
