I generally use my M6II, as well as my other cameras, in Av mode, single shot.  For action, I have saved Av, fastest multi-shot, and fastest AF to C1 so I can switch to that quickly when needed. On the M6II I have saved the optimal settings for the Sigma 56mm portrait lens to C2, face tracking, slower multi-shot, etc.

The M6II has lots of modes and settings. I would suggest using it a while to see what settings are most useful for your uses then saving these to the C1 and C2 custom modes.

The M6II has excellent focus bracketing and burst modes. Unfortunately these cannot be saved to the custom mode dial positions. Under the menu list there is a My Menu heading where you can save menu items you want to access quickly. I have saved focus bracketing and burst mode here.
