So I’m wondering what everyone is assigning for their 4th dial with the R5 and R6.

Let’s assume you have three of the dials assigned to the exposure triangle of Av, Tv and ISO. If that is not true then select “other” and list your settings in the comments below.

I’m also interested in which dials people are setting to what. For me, I am setting

Main dial: Aperture

Main dial: Aperture

Quick control dial 1: shutter

Quick control dial 1: Tv

Quick control dial 2: ISO

Quick control dial 2: EC

Lens control ring: Select AF method

Lens control ring: Select AF method*

Please detail your control scheme in the comments.

* - I'm thinking about putting ISO on the LCR because I've also set up the AF point selection to let me toggle AF-Mode between tracking and 1-point using M-Fn, and I use touch screen to move the 1-point around. I like being able to switch between Auto-ISO and a specific ISO, but I haven't figured out setting up the R6 for that yet. I currently have C1 and C2 set up to use Auto-ISO with 'day' and 'night' upper limits respectively, coupled with EC on QCD 2 this lets me work the way I used to with Fuji bodies and their dedicated EC dials.

I've been away from Canon since 2009 but from 1995 - 2006 an EOS-5 (Elan IIe) was my primary body and then a Rebel XTi. Anyway, a lot's changed since those days and I've only had the R6 in hand for a day and half, so it's all subject to change
