Look at the play menu, third tab. There's a setting called "Magnification (apx)" setting. Set it to "10x."Quote:

Still comparing the 1D IV to the 7D II.
I did a cave man AF precision test tonight comparing the 7D II to the 1D IV.
Single point single shot AF using the old Lens Align as a target.
Used the 70-200mm F/2.8L II as the lens.
My results were so close together I would say this test was a tie.
I can tell even on this lens that the 7D II is slower than the 1D IV.
I haven't had enough chances with the AI Servo to make a final decision. So far my experiences with the 7D II and AI Servo have not been good.
dont know if you guys saw this yet but lightroom 5.7 is out with support for the 7DII

Looking for the cheapest and easiest way. I hate to have to disregard my lightroom 4 and buy an entire new lightroom 5 software...
any comments are appreciated
There is a work around just like was stated earlier in the thread, use DPP and convert to TIFF and upload from there. If I were you, I would spend the $79 for the upgrade and not worry about it anymore. It's not that much and you just spent $1800 on a camera. I waited for a long time to upgrade my software when I purchased the EOS M. It wasn't supported in what I was using either. It isn't worth the extra hassle. Just get it and move on, that is my advise.
... Or get Photoshop CC +Lightroom for $9.99/mo. I've been waiting for the 7D2 support before ordering. I had been using Elements before. I didn't like being limited to just LR, but the CC option makes real Photoshop affordable.
Now that I have LR updated I just finished playing with some ISO 3200 evening pics I took to compare the 7D II to the 1D IV.
What I am seeing is that the RAW 7D II has quit a bit of head room, but after working the picture over it is coming out very close to the JPG's right out of the camera.
I can improve the noise but not much at all over the JPG, if you push it much above JPG's it is to destructive to sharpness.
The 1D IV is a bit better with noise but not by enough of a margin to be a factor in choosing one body over the other.
My opinion of the 7D II right now is that it is the best Digital Novice camera that Canon has made to date.
I am seeing things that are making me think the x1.6 resolution crop theory is a real thing. More playing required.
Haven't tried LR yet, but I can confirm that PS can now open 7D2 .CR2 files... and that it still gets rid of chroma noise much better than DPP/camera jpgs.
It appears to me that much of the 7d II's hyped IQ improvements are from the in camera JPG processing.
I shot RAW + JPG, now going back and PP a few and comparing I am not gaining a significant amount of improvement over in camera jpg.
Noise can be improved a small amount, that's about it.
That is just comparing to the jpg vs a PP raw, the RAW file itself is bland and noisy and can take quite a bit of adjustment to get to that point.
