Is Auto Update Custom Settings set to Enable or Disable?

It doesn’t really matter. The settings are retained when switching between C1-7 regardless, it’s only when you turn the camera off that they’re lost if auto update is off.

In any case, the issue is that selecting C1-7 applies the settings from that bank, regardless of when they were set in that bank. So if you switch to a new picture style (as it used to be) then it applies focus areas, manual lens profiles, all sorts of absurd stuff. Thankfully a lot of the settings are things I don’t use, but obviously some I do, and the whole thinking behind it is completely misguided and frustrating.

I knew before I got the camera that the focus mode moved to custom settings when they removed the MCS switch, but I had no idea it had gone this far.
