On my old Olympus I was able to assign pro capture (pre burst) to a custom setting. Fuji allows this too. The R7 doesn't allow it, unfortunately...any work around? Assign to a button?

It's a pain having to go to the menu each time.

You can indeed assign it to a button to take you directly to the Menu setting but because there are two different settings, each with Enable and Disable options the button can’t put the camera directly into a specific shooting mode - you still need to make a selection

Thanks Peter

On my R5 I reassigned the M.Fn button so that when pressed it cycles through the Custom Modes, C1 to C3. Does the R7 have that facility?

No, with Canon, only cameras without a printed mode dial have that option. That currently includes the R3, R5 and original R.
