I have accidentally made several recording by pressing the record button in error.

I would like to disable it and possibly replace with a different function. What is the procedure for doing this? I have tried to follow the manual without success.

Also would appreciate suggestions of the function to assign to the button.

Thanks Derek

Go into C.Fn II: Others, Custom Controls. Press SET.

Arrow down twice until the REC button is highlighted (along with the 4-way). Press SET.

Right arrow until only the REC button is highlighted, and the cursor is over the "Movie" symbol. Press SET.

Now arrow to whichever function you want this button to be reassigned to. Press SET.

Voila!

Note: This can all be done with the touchscreen too.

Happy shooting!

ps. I sure wish I could reassign this button to be the "Delete" button!!!

Quick question, can this button be assigned to "AF-On"?
