For instance, the first one you can set the case. I got that very wrong first time I setup not realising you can change that number. I really like the way Canon have done this as it allows some great tuning per button.Oh, that really works! Ohh noo... I have yet more options to set...It's overwhelming.It took me a few minutes to realize you can manipulate both sides on this screen – I think it's not the most intuitive UI choice. Usually everything leading with a checkbox implies that you can only set a checkmark for this. But in this case you can also click into the box on the right hand side. It's cool once you realize it but threw me off first and that's coming from someone working in the software design industry 😅

Slightly off topic (sorry) but I have another quick custom button question: is there no way to set up a custom button to toggle through different metering modes?On other camera brands I usually made use of this this, mostly to have a quick way of using highlight or spot metering for the occasional high contrast shot (e.g shadow silhouettes).

So I also would appreciate some insight.

There are several ways.One way is to press the Q button on the back of the camera.Another way is to press the M-Fn button on the top of the camera. You can register up to five custom functions with the M-Fn button, including AF mode. To customize the featuers you can adjust with the M.Fn button, use the Custom Function Menu (C.Fn), and select "Customize Buttons." Select the M-Fn button, select up to five functions you want, and then the next screen lets you order them.This is how it works with my R5, but it's almost surely the same with the R6 and R6ii.
