How do i change background/Menu color? In youtube reviews, everyone has white back ground. I ended up getting dark color menu system after doing some changes. I do not see any option to change color back to white.

Are you referring to the guided mode?

Menu: camera/person icon: shooting screen: guided

On my 77d that changes to a white background but also changes to the simplified beginner style format.

When I mentioned changing viewfinder focus point with a thumb on the LCD I was referring to the M5, it is not available on the SL2.

Is Menu with white background are only available with guided menu option?

That is how it seems with my 77D, maybe someone else with an SL2 can offer input.

There is a separate option for changing color on 80d.

We can select focus point from LCD screen also for SL2. In order to do it in View finder, we have to use buttons.

Yes, you are correct, touch LCD to choose the focus point in live view and use d-pad or dials when using the OVF.
