Glad to see you have done the job correctly with som cat photo and what lovely cats they are. Wish mine were still around.

Interesting setup you have. Mine is a bit different. Starting with the DOF button I have that configured for ratings. By default ratings is one star or off but I configured it to give 1-5 stars.

The back button AF I have for eye control animal af. To go with it I have the magnify/ar select button configured to direct af area control with only full, wide/short zone and single point. These work as a starting point and tracking continues full area. The * button is configured for singe point old skool AF.

The D pad I have up set to start exposure compensation, on click and I can adjust with the top dial. I wish it was just a hold and turn rather than a hold, release and turn.

Down I have set to switch on burst pre capture as I have begun to experiment with it.

Whether these settings will change I don’t know, probably will as I use the camera more.

I too find the EVF fine. Works really well for shooting but not as good as the R5 for reviewing fine detail after a shot is taken. I do use it set to high speed too and it seems to have negligible effect on battery life.

I find the three way power switch great in use, canon have got the pressure spot on for me.

Ive customised a lot and am currently pleased with how it is setup.
