Hi all,

I've just picked up an M200, coming from a first generation G7x. The G7x allows most of the hardware buttons to be reprogrammed, which let me set them to the features that I used most heavily. I assumed that this was normal for Canon's but can't find the settings in the menus anywhere. Can it be done on the M200?

The M200 buttons can't be repurposed, unlike the M6ii and M50ii's buttons.

At first I didn't like this, being used to the m6ii and my customizations, but slowly realized it isn't needed as much since I use the M200 so differently.

Since the M200 has no EVF you are always using the rear screen to shoot. And most of what you would change is available easily on the touch screen, either directly or through the quick menu. I am finding that just as fast.

The custom buttons are so useful on the m6ii and m50ii as most of the time my eye is on the EVF, but not so with the M200.

In fact setting things is so quick on the touch screen that I've started using the touchscreen on the m6ii much more to change settings!
