Re: Create your own custom menus

Hello...

Thank you for this tip.

Creating your own custom menus has been mentioned here before and I know many folks do this, but I'm going to mention it again since I find it so, so useful.

When (not if) you run out of buttons on the M6ii to customize to do all the things you want at your fingertips, putting your other most-used functions into your own custom menu(s) can save tons of time. You can also group them by your own category just as Canon menus are grouped.

This is great because Canon's own menus have so many choices --- finding what you need to change takes time. When the Sun sets, I just have to go to my first custom menu to change everything I use for night shooting, all in one place.

To use this, go to the last menu group (star) 'MY MENU' set up and add your own custom menu tabs, then for each tab you can add whatever menu items you want.

Here are my custom menus... the first for all-around shooting, the second used for Astrophotography (I use focus bracketing for shooting stacked deep sky images with mAnual focus lenses).
