I’ve never taken the time to customize the C1/C2 settings on my M6 II camera(s) - so far. Mostly this is because I haven’t really been able to figure out which 2 sets of settings I would like to preserve using this features. Until now.

On this beautiful winter solstice day with the snow coming down (again), I’ve read back through a lot of the posts here, some of which have offered a few ideas of what people have done to configure a set of C1/C2 settings that work for them, but I haven’t been able to put together a clear picture of what people have found useful - and why.

I realize that this is a matter of taste and preference, but I’m looking for ideas that would help me figure out what might work well for me.

I keep the M6II camera in M (manual) or C1 or C2 at all times -and C1 and C2 are programmed using manual mode

I keep the camera in Manual, Servo, spot focus, and Back Button focus and auto iso and mostly 7 fps

for C1 -- I might set to use e-shutter and iso 100 and single shot

for C2 - I might set to use tracking with face/eye detect.
