3) Custom settings do not keep on this camera at all. I will setup the shooting parameters (including 1/125 shutter speed) that I use, save them as C1-C3 and later when I go to use the setting the shutter speed always drops to 1/40th of a second. An no, I don't have the auto update enabled under this setting. This one is a head scratcher for sure.

Yeah for some reason custom settings do not stick. In my case it's the recording to the individual cards i.e. let's say I have record separately (Slot 1 RAW, slot 2 Jpeg) on C1 then on C3 I might have it as Auto Switch jpeg. When I return to C1 it could be record separately in RAW or something like that. I just complained to Canon Canada. They told me to reset my camera but the problem remains. Anyway, I hope it gets solved via firmware update.

Well, in your case, it seems to be just that one setting (record to card). As you say on the other thread, all your other settings stick. The person you are replying to seems to be claiming that the problem is more widespread. Are you sure that absolutely all the settings are even supposed to register with custom settings?

I just checked the user's manual. It says "You can register current camera settings such as shooting, menu, and Custom Function settings as Custom shooting modes." It doesn't say that you can register all settings. But it doesn't say you can't, either.
