What do you mean by menu settings are deleted? Are you missing menu items? If so, put your camera in P mode to see more menu items for still photos or video mode for movie menu items.

Some menu items only show in certain camera modes.

I have the 7D mark II and the only "mode" that doesn't show all menu items is the Green A+ mode. Is that what you are using?

As far as I know, there is no way for a user to remove or install menu items, short of changing to A+ (on the 7DII) and that just hides them, it doesn't delete them. If you are in P, TV, AV, M, or B(bulb), then all of your menu items should be shown. Besides A+ and custom settings on the mode dial like C1, C2, and C3, those are the only "mode" options for your camera.

You may need to reset your camera back to factory defaults if menus are missing in modes besides A+, and that includes any custom settings.

This is A+ auto setting. I don’t have the 4th tan to reset my camera to default

Here is P and I don’t have any setting except this tan. If I can’t delete them please tell me how to get it back.

That is your custom menus that you program to what you want it to show. You will have to program what items that you want to show in your custom menu. You cannot download it from the internet. See your manual for how to program the custom menu. See below from the camera manual:

But I do t have the option to even reset anything to factory anymore like I did once before. That’s what I’m trying to ask for advice

The green My Menu is a user configurable menu that you program. You cannot download it from anywhere. Please read my reply above showing from the manual how to customize that menu.

Are you saying that in P mode, the only menu that you show is the green My Menu?

Try this. Switch the camera off. Remove the battery, the memory cards, the lens and any other accessories or cables.

Move the power switch to the [ON] position. Fully press the [SHUTTER] and keep it fully pressed for at least 10-15 seconds. Move the power switch to the [OFF] position.

Re-insert the battery. Do not install a memory card, lens, or any accessory. Turn the camera on. Did the menus return?

Try turning off the camera and removing the battery and pressing the shutter button for 10 seconds. Re-install the battery and see if the menus return. If not try downloading the latest firmware for your camera from Canon's support site. Scroll down to downloads and download the firmware file and install it on your camera.

Im sorry I am confused about the last part. You said move the power switch to on the ON position? What is that?

Re: Canon 7D Mark ii Menu settings

FloridaDrafter — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 20:44:24 GMT

So, when you are in "P" mode, you only see the "Custom Menu"?

Attached is what I see on my 7DII when "P" is set on the mode dial.

Menu in P mode.Mode dial set to "P".

I just want to be clear on this 🙂

It is essential that the power switch be in the [ON] position, with the battery removed, when the shutter button is being held down. The procedure should fully reset the camera all the way back to the point where it prompts you for a date and time.
